Yes. If your business has multiple Tax Registration Numbers across different emirates or entities, LEDGERS lets you manage them all under one account with separate invoice series, VAT tracking, and return preparation for each TRN.
Yes. LEDGERS follows the Federal Tax Authority’s requirements for VAT record-keeping, invoice formats, and return submission. Tax invoices include all mandatory fields – TRN, tax amount, description, and supply date.
Yes. For businesses registered as a tax group with the FTA, LEDGERS tracks intra-group supplies separately, applies the correct VAT treatment, and consolidates the group’s VAT return data.
Supplies to and from Designated Zones follow special VAT rules. LEDGERS identifies these zones and applies the correct treatment – most goods transfers between Designated Zones are outside the scope of VAT, while services remain taxable.
The UAE introduced Value Added Tax at 5% on 1 January 2018. It applies to most goods and services at each stage of the supply chain. Businesses above the mandatory registration threshold (AED 375,000 turnover) must register, charge VAT, and file returns with the Federal Tax Authority.
Mandatory registration applies to businesses with taxable supplies and imports exceeding AED 375,000 in the past 12 months or expected to exceed it in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available for businesses exceeding AED 187,500. Non-residents making taxable supplies must register regardless of threshold.
A TRN is a unique 15-digit number issued by the FTA upon VAT registration. It must appear on all tax invoices, credit notes, and VAT returns. LEDGERS validates TRNs and auto-populates them on all relevant documents.
The UAE has three VAT treatments: 5% standard rate (most goods and services), 0% zero rate (exports, international transport, certain healthcare and education), and exempt (bare land, local passenger transport, certain financial services). LEDGERS applies the correct rate based on supply type.
Most businesses file quarterly VAT returns. The FTA may assign monthly filing for larger businesses. Returns are due within 28 days after the end of the tax period. LEDGERS tracks your filing periods and sends deadline reminders.
The FTA requires businesses to maintain records for 5 years (15 years for real estate). This includes tax invoices, credit notes, import records, VAT return copies, and supporting calculations. LEDGERS stores all records digitally with full audit trails.
Enter your Tax Registration Number in LEDGERS. The system validates it and configures your account for UAE VAT - setting up the correct tax period, filing frequency, and invoice format per FTA requirements.
Set up your chart of accounts with VAT categories, define your supply types (standard, zero-rated, exempt), and configure default tax codes for your products and services.
Create tax invoices with all FTA-mandatory fields auto-filled - TRN, VAT amount, supply date, and description. LEDGERS generates simplified tax invoices for supplies under AED 10,000.
Record purchase invoices and LEDGERS automatically calculates recoverable input VAT. Blocked input tax on entertainment, motor vehicles, and other restricted categories is flagged.
LEDGERS compiles your transactions into the VAT 201 return format. Review output tax, input tax, and net payable. File through the FTA portal and record the transaction reference number.
