LEDGERS enforces compliance at every step – mandatory TRN on invoices, correct tax rates by supply type, timely return preparation, and automated record-keeping that meets FTA’s 5-year retention requirement. Compliance alerts flag missing data before it becomes a problem.
LEDGERS monitors filing deadlines, identifies invoices with missing TRNs or incorrect tax calculations, flags overdue returns, and alerts you when input tax claims exceed recoverable limits. Notifications are sent via dashboard and email.
Yes. LEDGERS maintains a complete audit trail – every invoice, payment, credit note, and return filing is timestamped and stored. You can generate audit-ready reports covering any period, with drill-down from summary to individual transaction.
LEDGERS classifies all purchase invoices by their VAT recovery status – fully recoverable, partially recoverable, or blocked. It applies the correct apportionment formula for mixed-use expenses and maintains the calculations for FTA review.
If you discover errors in previously filed returns, LEDGERS helps you prepare the voluntary disclosure submission. It calculates the tax impact of corrections, applicable penalties, and generates the supporting documentation.
Standard reports include VAT return summary, input/output tax analysis, aging of payables/receivables, tax reconciliation, and transaction logs. All reports are exportable to Excel or PDF and formatted for FTA requirements.
VAT compliance means meeting all obligations under the UAE VAT law – registering when required, charging the correct tax, issuing proper tax invoices, filing returns on time, paying tax due, and maintaining records for 5 years. The FTA conducts audits to verify compliance.
Penalties range from AED 1,000 for minor administrative violations to AED 50,000 for serious offences. Late filing attracts AED 1,000 for the first offence and AED 2,000 for repeat offences within 24 months. Late payment incurs 2% immediately, plus 4% on the 7th day, and 1% daily thereafter (capped at 300%).
Input tax recovery allows you to reclaim the VAT paid on business purchases against your output tax liability. Not all input tax is recoverable – expenses on entertainment, motor vehicles (with exceptions), and non-business use are blocked. LEDGERS tracks recovery eligibility automatically.
The FTA assigns either monthly or quarterly filing periods based on your business size. Returns are due 28 days after the tax period ends. For example, a Q1 (Jan–Mar) return is due by 28 April. LEDGERS sends reminders before each deadline.
You must keep all tax invoices (issued and received), credit/debit notes, import records, VAT return copies, bank statements, contracts, and any documents supporting your VAT calculations. Records must be kept for 5 years (15 years for real estate) and be available in the UAE.
