OWWA e-Card printer to stay at MWO-Dubai even after Serbisyo Caravan
UAE-based OFWs who were unable to claim their e-Cards during the recent Serbisyo Caravan in Dubai will still be able to get their cards, as the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) will leave its card printer at the Migrant Workers Office (MWO). 'Huwag kayong mag-alala para sa OWWA dahil hindi lang ito isang araw lang sa Dubai. Iiwan na namin dito 'yung card printer para tuloy-tuloy lang ang pagpi-print ng OWWA e-Card dito sa Dubai,' OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne Caunan. Alongside the surge in National ID applications, the OWWA e-Card was among the most in-demand services during the OFW Serbisyo Caravan held at the Dubai World Trade Center on August 3. Active members of OWWA who wish to request an e-Card may complete their registration using a QR code provided by the agency. The QR code will remain available for those who missed the caravan. She added that eligible individuals can claim their e-Card anytime, even after the event. 'Anytime pwede niyong kunin, at kung hindi niyo makukuha today, kayo po ay cocontact-in ng mga tauhan ng OWWA dito sa Dubai,' she said. Thousands of attendees OWWA made the decision after thousands of Filipinos turned up at the one-day event, overwhelming the initial space at Exhibition Hall 8 of the Dubai World Trade Center and prompting organizers to expand the venue to Sheikh Rashid Hall. Caunan acknowledged the large turnout and emphasized the need for recurring caravans in the UAE. 'Hindi natin in-expect na ganito karami ang may kailangan ng serbisyo ng gobyerno dito sa Dubai. Hindi pwedeng isa o dalawang araw lang ito, kailangan ulit-ulitin ito dahil kailangan dito sa UAE dalhin ang serbisyo ng gobyerno,' Caunan said. The OWWA e-Card serves as proof of membership and can be used to access various government services and programs for overseas Filipinos.

UAE's e-invoicing revolution: The Peppol promise in tax filing
The UAE is gearing up for a digital transformation in tax compliance with the mandatory launch of e-invoicing starting July 1, 2026. This shift isn't just about reducing paperwork — it's about redefining how businesses issue, track, and report transactions across sectors. But what exactly does e-invoicing mean in practice? And what can the UAE learn from early movers like Saudi Arabia, India, and global frameworks like Peppol? Contrary to popular belief, e-invoicing is not about emailing a PDF. Think of an e- invoice not just as a document, but as a conversation between five parties — two familiar, and three newly invited guests: 1. The seller – That's you, the business issuing the invoice. 2. The buyer – Your customer who receives the invoice. 3. The seller's ASP (Accredited Service Provider) – An FTA-approved tech platform that formats and securely sends your invoice to the right channels. 4. The buyer's ASP – Another approved platform that receives and processes the invoice on the buyer's side, ensuring compatibility and security. 5. The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) – The ultimate overseer. It validates the invoice in real time for compliance, accuracy, and auditability. So, every e-invoice is more than a digital receipt — it's a structured dialogue routed through secure intermediaries, keeping everyone accountable and in sync. So, every time an e-invoice is created, it's not just a one-way message from seller to buyer. It's a five-way interaction that promotes trust, automation, and audit- readiness. As in most economies, even the FTA's rollout will occur in two phases: • Phase 1 (July 2026): Targets large businesses issuing B2B and B2G invoices. • Phase 2 (2027 onward): Extends to SMEs and B2C entities with invoice clearance and real-time reporting. Saudi Arabia: A regional success story Saudi Arabia's Zatca introduced e-invoicing in 2021 with a phased approach — first requiring businesses to generate e-invoices, and later mandating real-time integration with tax systems. The result? Millions saved in VAT leakage, quicker audits, and improved compliance. Businesses became more transparent and tax administration more efficient. For the UAE, Saudi Arabia's approach offers a ready blueprint for scale and execution — backed by data and success metrics. India's experience: Scale, simplicity, and structure India launched its e-invoicing regime under the GST framework in 2020. Starting with large taxpayers and expanding downward, every invoice passes through a centralised Invoice Registration Portal (IRP) and is validated in real time. This system exposed large-scale mismatches and helped recover massive tax leakages, while improving invoice trail integrity. One key takeaway from India is that technology alone isn't enough — effective training, stakeholder awareness, and robust onboarding are critical to success. The Peppol model: A path to global compatibility Peppol is like the global party planner for e-invoicing — making sure every guest (buyer or seller) shows up on time, wears the right outfit (standard format), speaks the same language (structured data), enters through the approved door (access point), and follows house rules (security and validation). Whether the party's in Singapore, Sydney, or Sharjah, Peppol ensures the compliance stays smooth and no one gets lost in translation. For the UAE, it could be the key to hosting seamless e-invoicing across the GCC ensuring flawless digital harmony. Countries like Singapore and Australia have already adopted Peppol to simplify both domestic and international e-invoicing. For the UAE, it could serve as the backbone for GCC-wide interoperability, reducing system mismatches and enabling seamless digital trade in B2B and B2G environments. The time to act is now The FTA may have set the deadline for 2026, but readiness must begin today. Companies should assess their ERP capabilities, ensure XML/JSON compatibility, engage with registered ASPs, and prepare teams for new workflows. This transformation isn't just about compliance — it's about competitiveness. The UAE Vision 2031 imagines a fully digital tax ecosystem powered by AI, real-time validation, and data transparency. E-invoicing is its gateway. Final thoughts The writer is Associate Partner, MICS.
