In the DCTCE model you never connect to the FTA directly. You connect to an Accredited Service Provider, which validates, transmits, and confirms delivery on the OpenPeppol network on your behalf. Here's exactly what that relationship involves.
Checks that outbound invoice data meets the defined PINT-AE/UBL standard before anything is transmitted.
Looks up the buyer's details in the OpenPeppol directory to confirm the correct recipient before sending.
Transmits invoice data over the OpenPeppol network to the receiving party's own Accredited Service Provider.
On the receiving side, delivers invoice data into the buyer's business software in the format their systems expect.
Only UAE Accredited Service Providers can send the relevant invoice extract to the Federal Tax Authority's central data platform — this is what makes accreditation non-optional.
30 October 2026 for businesses with AED 50M+ revenue; 31 March 2027 for all other in-scope businesses.
dsConnectMW doesn't replace your Accredited Service Provider — it's the layer between your ERP(s) and whichever ASP you choose, handling extraction, validation, PINT-AE structuring, routing (including shared-TRN scenarios), and status write-back. Change ASPs later, and your ERP integration doesn't have to change with it.
