Must a business tell its e-invoicing provider when its registered details change?
Yes. Article 5 of Ministerial Decision No. 243 of 2025 requires the issuer and recipient to notify their accredited service provider in writing of any change to their data registered with the FTA, within five business days of receiving the FTA's confirmation. Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025 fines AED 1,000 for each day of delay.

Typical changes
A new trade licence number, a changed legal name or address, a new TRN after group registration, or changed authorised signatories. Each needs the provider updated once the FTA confirms it.
Why it matters
The provider validates invoices against registered data. Out-of-date details can lead to rejected invoices, which then miss the 14 business day deadline.
Where SupaJack Construct fits
SupaJack Construct does not transmit e-invoices. It stores the company's Peppol endpoint ID and produces tax invoices and credit notes with the data a provider needs, and the company's accredited service provider handles exchange and reporting.

Worked example
A contractor joins a VAT group and the FTA confirms its new group TRN on Monday 1 March. It must notify its provider in writing by Monday 8 March. Notifying on 12 March would mean four days of delay, AED 4,000.
