FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What records must I keep for UAE VAT?+
You must keep tax invoices, credit notes, import and export documents and accounting records for at least five years, and longer for real estate. We maintain and retain them to FTA standards.
What makes a valid UAE tax invoice?+
A valid tax invoice must show the words “Tax Invoice”, your TRN, invoice date, a description, the net amount, VAT rate and VAT charged. We set up templates that comply.
How does VAT accounting help my returns?+
When your books are coded and reconciled correctly throughout the period, the VAT return is a by-product rather than a scramble, and recovery and accuracy both improve.
Can you work with my existing software?+
Yes. We work with the major UAE accounting platforms and configure them for compliant VAT recording, or recommend a better fit if needed.
