EmaraTax onboarding

This page covers all the steps you need to complete to connect your account to the the United Arab Emirates (UAE) electronic invoicing network through the Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line (PEPPOL) using EmaraTax.

About EmaraTax onboarding

Before you can send invoices, Sovos must register you in the PEPPOL network and link your account to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) e-invoicing system through EmaraTax, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) portal.

This guide walks you through creating your PEPPOL Participant ID. Sovos assigns the UAE products to your account.

Create a new account

Onboarding requires input from both you and Sovos. The following steps describe the full sequence.

Give your company details and primary contact information to Sovos.
Sovos registers your account and directs you to log in to EmaraTax.
In EmaraTax, go to the e-invoicing section and select Sovos as your ASP.
EmaraTax redirects you to the Sovos platform for verification. Sovos verifies your account and creates your PEPPOL Participant ID (0235: + TIN).

Sovos sends confirmation to EmaraTax. If you're a new Sovos user, Sovos creates your organization and company in Compliance Network and assigns the United Arab Emirates products.

After Sovos confirms you account, you'll receive an email invitation to set your password.
