The Competition Authority approves e-invoicing rules for retail

The Chamber had earlier launched a trader training programme on e-invoicing, taken up by more than 2,100 participants across six governorates.

Analysts expect no immediate effect on consumer prices: current stock covers market needs at least to the end of next quarter.

The Chamber’s view

A number of importers argue that the proposed timetable needs a transition period of at least six months, so that small businesses can adapt their accounting systems.

The small trader is not asking for a subsidy. He is asking for one clear rule that does not change every three months.

The meeting closed by forming a joint Chamber–ministry committee, meeting weekly to follow implementation and reporting monthly to the federation’s board.

The figures in brief

  • easier finance for small enterprises among next quarter’s priorities
  • A review of the timetable with the trade divisions
  • A monthly report to the federation’s board

Chamber figures put the number of registered businesses at 41,000, up by 3,400 on last year, most of them in retail and logistics.
