Mr. Arman earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and accounting from Lycée Ozenne in France and a master’s degree in international business from Hult International Business School (Asbridge Executive Education).
New UAE e-Invoicing guidance moves the regime from policy to prescriptive, enforcement-backed execution. VAT logic, transaction classification and reporting controls must now be embedded directly within invoice data at source.
Organisations that mobilise early will be best positioned to achieve compliant, controlled implementation.
