What is e-invoicing with the government?
Instead of only printing or emailing a PDF, your software sends every invoice as a structured file to the tax authority (or a licensed provider) in real time or near real time. Depending on the country the invoice is cleared before it is valid (Saudi B2B, India, Poland, Italy) or reported after it is issued. The authority gets the VAT / GST data straight from your system.
Can you connect my existing invoicing software instead of replacing it?
Yes — that is the main job. If your system is PHP / MySQL, Google Sheets with Apps Script, or any software we can reach through its database or API, we add the e-invoicing layer on top: format mapping, signing, the API connection and the status screens. Your users keep the screens they already know.
Is Rameez Scripts an accredited e-invoicing provider?
No, and we will never claim to be. We are a software developer. Where a country requires a licensed middle layer — an Accredited Service Provider in the UAE, a GSP in India, a Peppol access point in Europe, an approved platform in France — we integrate your software with the provider you choose. Where the authority allows a direct connection, such as the ZATCA FATOORA API, we build that connection for you.
What does ZATCA Phase 2 integration need from my software?
An onboarded device (CSID) per invoicing unit, invoices generated as UBL 2.1 XML, a hash chain linking each invoice to the previous one, a cryptographic stamp, the Phase 2 QR code, and the clearance or reporting call to ZATCA. Standard tax invoices (B2B) are cleared before you share them; simplified invoices (B2C) are reported within 24 hours.
When does UAE e-invoicing start?
As announced by the UAE Ministry of Finance at the time of writing: voluntary from 1 July 2026, mandatory from 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more, from 1 July 2027 for smaller businesses, and from 1 October 2027 for government entities. Every business sends through an Accredited Service Provider over the Peppol network in the PINT AE format.
Who must generate an IRN in India?
Businesses whose aggregate annual turnover crossed ₹5 crore in any year since 2017-18 must report B2B and export invoices to the Invoice Registration Portal and print the signed QR code. Businesses at ₹10 crore and above must report each document within 30 days of its date. B2C invoices stay outside IRN generation.
How long does an integration take and what does it cost?
It depends on the country, how clean your invoice data is and how many branches send invoices. After the data audit you get a fixed price and a fixed timeline, within 24 hours of receiving your details, with 6 months of support after go-live.
Do you give tax advice?
No. Your accountant or tax adviser confirms which phase and deadline apply to your business. We make your software produce, send and store the invoices that rule requires.
