UAE VAT Accounting Software: VAT Returns, E-Invoicing, Corporate Tax and WPS Payroll in One Ledger
Most accounting packages treat UAE tax as an add-on: a VAT field on the invoice and a report you fix in a spreadsheet. UAE VAT Accounting starts from the other direction. It is a double-entry system designed around how companies here are taxed, audited and paid, so the VAT return, the profit and loss and the balance sheet all come from the same ledger and always agree. Crafts Software installs it on your server, sets up your company and trains your team.
VAT and corporate tax
- VAT return box by box: prepared from posted transactions and ready for you to review before filing with the Federal Tax Authority. Standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt and reverse-charge items are tracked separately.
- FTA Audit File: the FAF export can be produced when the authority asks for it, instead of being rebuilt under pressure.
- Corporate tax: a computation at the standard 9 percent rate, including small business relief where you qualify. Eligibility and adjustments should be confirmed with your tax adviser; see our corporate tax checklist.
E-invoicing ready
Invoices and credit notes are generated in the PINT AE structured format and sent through your accredited service provider. Incoming e-invoices arrive from your provider or as an XML upload, are checked automatically, matched to the supplier and converted into a draft bill in one click. What you need to prepare is explained in the e-invoicing readiness checklist.
