ERP development · VAT accounting
VAT accounting software for the UAE must do more than add 5% to an invoice. It must issue tax invoices with every field the Federal Tax Authority requires, in Arabic and English; calculate the VAT 201 return boxes from the transactions themselves, including imports and reverse charge; lock periods once filed; keep figures that tie to the general ledger; and, from 2027, exchange invoices as structured PINT AE data through an Accredited Service Provider. Next Orbit implements and supports e-tijariX, whose finance module was built to those requirements.
Quick answer
VAT accounting software for the UAE keeps the general ledger, issues compliant tax invoices and credit notes, calculates the VAT 201 return from live transactions and keeps an audit trail the FTA can follow. e-tijariX, which Next Orbit implements and supports, adds reverse charge in one click from a supplier bill, zero-rated, exempt and export handling with AED totals, period locks, a Corporate Tax pack for your tax agent, bank statement import for the main UAE banks with suggested matches, fixed assets, multi-company consolidation and PINT AE e-invoicing through Accredited Service Providers. Every sale, purchase, payment and payroll run posts to the ledger automatically.

The words "Tax Invoice", a unique number and date, the supplier name, address and TRN, the customer name, address and TRN for B2B supplies, a description of goods or services, unit price, quantity, VAT rate and amount per line, totals in AED and the VAT summary. Simplified invoices apply below the FTA threshold. e-tijariX prints all of this in Arabic, English or both. Confirm current requirements with the FTA.
Each transaction carries a tax code and emirate, so the return boxes for standard-rated supplies by emirate, zero-rated, exempt, imports under reverse charge and recoverable input tax are calculated from the ledger itself. Periods are locked after filing and adjustments are posted in the next period.
Yes. A supplier bill for an imported service or goods under the reverse-charge mechanism posts both the output and input entries in one click, and customs-declaration imports flow into the relevant boxes.
The Corporate Tax pack collects registration details, the tax period, small business relief, losses brought forward and the tax treatment of each account so your tax agent can prepare the return from reliable financial statements per entity. The software supports the process; your tax agent files the return.
Statements from the main UAE banks, including ENBD, FAB, ADCB, Mashreq, DIB, ADIB, CBD, RAKBANK, NBF, Emirates Islamic, HSBC and Standard Chartered, plus a generic profile, can be imported in CSV, Excel, PDF, MT940, CAMT.053 and OFX. Open-banking feeds are available through Lean Technologies and Tarabut Gateway.
e-tijariX is built to FTA requirements for tax invoices, returns and record keeping and to the PINT AE e-invoicing specification. Accreditation statuses change over time; ask us for the current position before relying on it.
Yes. The software prepares the figures, filing packs and audit trail; your tax agent reviews and files. Many clients give their agent a read-only role in e-tijariX.
