UAE compliance

VAT-ready ERP for UAE businesses: tax codes, per-line VAT, and a VAT summary that comes from the ledger, not a spreadsheet.

Farexa applies UAE VAT at the line - standard, zero-rated, or exempt - on every POS receipt, A4 invoice, purchase, and expense, then builds the VAT summary from those same posted entries so the return matches the books instead of fighting them.

Why VAT belongs on the line, not the total

Most VAT problems aren't a calculation error - they're a data problem. The POS system knows what was sold, the invoicing tool knows what was billed, and the accountant's spreadsheet is where someone tries to make the two agree before the return is due.

Farexa closes that gap by keeping VAT as a property of the transaction line itself. Configure standard, zero-rated, and exempt tax codes once at the tenant level - not per invoice, not per branch - and every POS receipt, A4 tax invoice, purchase, and expense claim applies them the same way, automatically.

Because the sale and the tax treatment are the same record, closing a period doesn't mean starting a second process. The trial balance, balance sheet, profit and loss, and VAT summary all render from the same posted ledger entries. The return isn't reconciled against the books after the fact - it comes from them.

What you get

Standard, zero-rated, and exempt tax codes

Tax treatment is a property of each line, configured once at the tenant level, so every document that touches that product or service applies it the same way.

Per-line VAT on POS receipts and A4 invoices

A counter sale and a full A4 tax invoice calculate VAT the same way, against the same tenant tax settings, and both show subtotal, VAT, and total.

A VAT summary built from posted entries

The trial balance, balance sheet, P&L, and VAT summary all render from the same posted ledger lines your invoices and purchases already created.

How VAT-ready operations run

  1. Set up tax codes and currency once

    Standard, zero-rated, and exempt rates are configured at the tenant level - every branch, every counter, every invoice inherits the same rules.

  2. Sell and buy with VAT on the line

    POS receipts, A4 sales invoices, supplier invoices, and expense claims each carry VAT as a property of the line, not a figure added at the end.

  3. Close the period and read the VAT summary

    Close the accounting period and pull the trial balance, balance sheet, P&L, and VAT summary from the same posted entries - no re-keying into a separate return.

Who this is for

  • Retailers and counters that need VAT on every receipt

    POS sales already calculate VAT per line against your tenant tax settings, whether the receipt prints thermal or A4.

  • Trading and service businesses invoicing in AED

    A4 tax invoices carry your business details and per-line VAT, built from the same order the counter or sales team already created.

  • Finance teams closing the books each month

    The VAT summary comes from the same posted entries as the trial balance and P&L, so the return reconciles with the books instead of against them.

Common questions

Does Farexa calculate VAT automatically?

Yes. Tax codes - standard, zero-rated, or exempt - are configured once at the tenant level, and VAT is calculated per line on every POS receipt, A4 invoice, purchase, and expense against those settings, not added as a lump sum afterward.

Where does the VAT summary come from?

The same posted ledger entries that produce the trial balance, balance sheet, and profit and loss also produce the VAT summary, so the return reflects what was actually posted rather than a separate reconciliation.

Can I run VAT-ready and non-VAT branches on the same tenant?

Tax codes and rates are configured per tenant, so a business operating in more than one country or emirate applies the right treatment without running separate systems.

Is this only for VAT, or other regional taxes too?

The same tax-code structure - standard, zero-rated, exempt - applies to any transaction-level tax scheme, so it isn't hard-coded to UAE VAT specifically, even though that's the primary market it's built for today.
