Invoice generator — a clean UAE invoice in your browser
Two lines — laying floor tiles, 40 × AED 85.00, and replacing broken tiles, 1 × AED 400.00 — make a subtotal of AED 3,800.00, VAT of AED 190.00 and a total of AED 3,990.00. Build yours below, print it or save it as a PDF — free, no signup, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.

How the invoice and VAT are worked out
Each line is quantity × unit price, rounded to the nearest fil — the hundredth of a dirham the totals are counted in. If you are VAT-registered, the generator adds VAT at 5% on each line and totals it under the lines: the document is titled “Tax Invoice” and shows your TRN, because that is the document a registered firm must issue.
If you are not VAT-registered, the same form builds a plain “Invoice”: no VAT lines, no VAT total and no “Tax Invoice” title — because a firm that is not registered must not charge VAT or present its bill as a tax invoice. One toggle decides which document you get, and the preview changes with it.
Be clear about what this tool is not. It runs entirely in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded, saved or sent anywhere, and closing the page clears it. It files nothing with the Federal Tax Authority, and it is not the coming e-invoicing system — structured e-invoices will move through accredited providers, which our /e-invoicing/ page explains. This tool makes a clean paper-style invoice for today; InstaJack is where quotes become invoices you can track, send and chase.

How to use the invoice generator
- Type your firm name — and your TRN if you have one; the TRN field is optional and only a VAT-registered firm should show one.
- Add the customer name, the invoice number and the invoice date.
- Write each line of work: description, quantity and unit price. Use “Add line” for every extra line — the sample lines are there to be replaced.
- Set the VAT toggle honestly: on if your firm is VAT-registered, so the document becomes a Tax Invoice with 5% VAT added; off if not, for a plain Invoice with no VAT.
- Check the preview, then print it or save it as a PDF from your browser — that printout is the only copy, because the tool saves nothing.
What does the sample AED 3,990 invoice look like?
The sample invoice the page opens on carries two lines: “Lay floor tiles 40 × AED 85.00” and “Replace broken tiles 1 × AED 400.00”. The first line amounts to AED 3,400.00 and the second to AED 400.00, so the subtotal is AED 3,800.00.
With the firm VAT-registered, VAT at 5% is added per line and totalled: AED 190.00, giving a total of AED 3,990.00 on a document titled “Tax Invoice”. Switch VAT off and the same lines make a plain “Invoice” totalling AED 3,800.00 — same work, no VAT lines and no tax-invoice title.
What a UAE invoice must show — and how VAT changes it
What a UAE tax invoice must show
| Field | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| The words “Tax Invoice” | Marks the document as a tax invoice — shown only when the firm is VAT-registered |
| Supplier firm name and TRN | Identifies who issued the invoice and their Tax Registration Number |
| Customer name | Identifies who the supply was made to |
| Invoice number and date | A unique, sequential number and the date of issue, so the invoice can be traced |
| Description, quantity and unit price per line | Shows what was supplied and how each line amount is reached |
| VAT per line and total VAT at 5% | Shows the tax charged on the supply, separate from the prices |
| Total amount payable | The full amount the customer must pay, VAT included where it applies |
VAT on or off — the document you get
| Your firm | Document title | VAT lines |
|---|---|---|
| VAT-registered | Tax Invoice | VAT at 5% added per line and totalled; TRN shown |
| Not VAT-registered | Invoice | No VAT lines and no VAT total — VAT is not charged |
Invoicing notes that keep the paper clean
- Number your invoices in an unbroken sequence and never reuse a number. A gap or a duplicate is the first thing an accountant — or the tax authority — will ask about.
- Show a TRN only if your firm is VAT-registered, and copy it exactly as it appears on your registration. Never invent a number or borrow another firm's.
- Describe each line the way the customer agreed it on the quote. An invoice the customer recognises gets paid faster than one they have to query.
- Print or save the PDF before you close the page. This tool keeps no copy — the file you save is the only record this page will ever make.
- Keep your own copies of every invoice you issue, in order. This generator stores nothing for you; your records are your job, and InstaJack keeps them with the quote and the payment when you work there.

How is the VAT on the invoice worked out?+
At 5% on each line, with money rounded to the nearest fil, then totalled under the lines. On the sample invoice — AED 3,800.00 of work — the VAT is AED 190.00 and the total is AED 3,990.00. VAT is added only when the firm is VAT-registered and the toggle is on.
What if my firm is not VAT-registered?+
Leave the VAT toggle off. The generator builds a plain document titled “Invoice” with no VAT lines, no VAT total and no “Tax Invoice” title — a firm that is not registered does not charge VAT, and its bill must not look as if it does.
Does this tool file my invoice with the FTA?+
No. It files nothing with the Federal Tax Authority and sends nothing anywhere. It is also not the coming e-invoicing system: structured e-invoices will move through accredited providers, as our e-invoicing page explains. This tool simply formats a clean invoice you print or save yourself.
Does the invoice generator store or send my data?+
No. The invoice is built entirely in your browser — firm names, customer names and amounts are never uploaded, saved or sent. Close or refresh the page and everything you typed is gone, which is why you should print or save the PDF first.
What does this tool not do?+
It does not save invoices, send them to customers, record payments or file anything — and it holds no invoice history. It makes one clean, printable invoice at a time. For invoices that live with the quote, the customer and the payment — and can be sent and chased — that is the job InstaJack itself does.
