VAT invoice generator for the UAE
Prepare a UAE tax invoice draft with your business details and TRN, the VAT profile you configured, and totals your customer can follow in AED — net, VAT and gross, stated plainly. Review the draft, then finalize to assign the official number.
What to check on a UAE tax invoice
The annotated draft shows where each detail sits on one full tax invoice for a registered business customer. Simplified tax invoices, which are permitted in specific situations, have different requirements — this page does not cover them. Confirm current official guidance for your supplies.

Tax-exclusive or tax-inclusive — the same supply, entered two ways
A tax profile in Hectile has a pricing mode. In tax-exclusive mode you enter the net price and VAT is added on top. In tax-inclusive mode you enter the gross price your customer pays and Hectile back-calculates the VAT it already contains. Either way the document shows net, VAT and total in AED.
5% is the assumption for this standard-rated example, not the treatment of every supply. Zero-rated and exempt supplies are distinct treatments with their own rules; you choose the profile, Hectile does not classify the supply. The example stays in AED — Hectile does not apply exchange rates.
General Invoice GeneratorNet 2,000.00 × 5% = VAT 100.00. Total = 2,000.00 + 100.00 = AED 2,100.00.
The price you typed is the taxable base; VAT is added on top of it.

One TRN per Organization, presented by every brand
The registered legal business is the Organization in Hectile; its TRN, legal name and address are held there. Brands are the trading identities that appear on the document — logo, brand name, numbering prefix, payment instructions — and they present the Organization's TRN. Two legal businesses with two registrations need two Organizations and two subscriptions.
Invoice software for multi-brand businessesA PDF invoice is not a UAE eInvoice
Hectile issues your tax invoice as a document: downloadable PDF, secure link or email. The UAE eInvoicing programme run by the Ministry of Finance is a separate framework for exchanging structured invoice data through accredited service providers. Hectile does not currently exchange structured eInvoices through an accredited service provider. Downloading or emailing a PDF is a separate capability.
UAE Ministry of Finance: eInvoicing (official)- Store your Organization's TRN and reusable VAT tax profiles, exclusive or inclusive
- Calculate net, VAT and gross in AED from the profile you selected
- Keep the invoice as an editable, unnumbered draft until you finalize
- Assign the official number at finalization and lock issued financial details
- Optionally email the invoice, share a secure link or download the PDF
- Exchange structured eInvoices through an accredited service provider or connect to the FTA
- Validate TRNs or decide whether, or at what rate, VAT applies
- Classify supplies as standard-rated, zero-rated or exempt

One plan per Organization. Invoicing in AED does not change it.
Hectile has one public plan: $12 per month or $120 per year per Organization. There is no separate AED price list. Your document currency does not determine your subscription price — your verified billing country does; the exact amount and currency are confirmed at checkout.

UAE VAT invoicing questions
For a full tax invoice: the "Tax Invoice" label, your legal name, address and TRN, the recipient's name, address and TRN where registered, a unique number, issue date and date of supply where different, descriptions, quantities and unit prices, any discount, the VAT rate and amount, and the totals in AED. The annotated example above follows this order. Simplified tax invoices have different requirements; check official FTA guidance.
Yes. The pricing mode belongs to the tax profile. In tax-exclusive mode you enter net prices and VAT is added; in tax-inclusive mode you enter the gross price and Hectile back-calculates the VAT contained in it. The document shows net, VAT and total either way, and inclusive prices are never taxed again.
No. You enter your TRN and your customers' TRNs; Hectile stores and prints them without validating them against any registry. You also choose the tax profile — standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt or none — for each document or line. Hectile does not classify supplies or determine the treatment.
Yes — that is how it works. Brands are trading identities inside one legal Organization, so every brand presents the Organization's TRN and uses its tax profiles. Unlimited brands are included on the paid plan; the trial includes one Primary Brand. A separate legal business needs its own Organization.
No. A PDF you download or email from Hectile is a document. UAE eInvoicing is a structured data exchange through accredited service providers under the Ministry of Finance programme. Hectile does not currently exchange structured eInvoices through an accredited service provider, and a PDF is not evidence of meeting an eInvoicing requirement.
No. Hectile is invoicing software. It does not prepare or submit VAT returns, calculate recoverable input tax, connect to the FTA, or provide tax advice.
