From Purchase Order to VAT Return โ€” Automated

1

Create or import a purchase order

Raise a PO in ETaxFlow or import from your ERP/Excel. Assign the landed cost estimate โ€” freight, customs duty, insurance โ€” to be allocated across line items at goods receipt.

2

Match the supplier invoice using AI

Upload the PDF invoice or email attachment. ETaxFlow AI extracts the TRN, invoice number, VAT amount and line items, then matches against the open purchase order. Review discrepancies before posting.

3

Goods received โ€” stock and ledger update

Confirm goods receipt. Inventory quantity and cost update. Accounts payable posts the supplier bill. Input VAT is recorded ready for the VAT 201 reclaim.

4

Create a UAE VAT sales invoice

Issue an FTA-compliant tax invoice with your TRN, the customer's TRN (if registered), VAT rate and total. Standard-rated, zero-rated and exempt supplies are classified at line level.

5

Reconcile the UAE bank account

Bank feeds pull transactions daily. ETaxFlow matches payments to open invoices and bills. Unmatched items are queued for manual review. Month-end bank reconciliation takes minutes.

6

File VAT 201 and prepare corporate tax

VAT 201 return boxes are populated from the quarter's transactions. Submit to the FTA portal. At year-end, CT taxable income and the SBR eligibility check are computed automatically from your accounting records.

Trading & distribution

Unified Ledger and Inventory Platform for UAE Distributors

Trading and distribution operations fail when inventory levels mismatch open account books. ETaxFlow gives importers, wholesalers, and general trading houses exact oversight over inventory costs, cross-border customs items, and local delivery actions.

Landed Cost Calculations

Automatically spread customs duties, freight fees, and port charges directly onto inventory unit costs for pristine gross profit margins โ€” no manual spreadsheet allocation.

Multi-Warehouse Tracking

Transfer stock between mainland locations and free zone yards with real-time tax accounting updates. Each location tracked separately with correct VAT treatment.

FIFO / Weighted Average Costing

Choose your inventory costing method at category level. Cost of goods sold calculated automatically at each sale, feeding directly into your P&L in real time.

Multi-Currency Invoicing

Invoice in USD, EUR, GBP or any currency. Exchange rates applied at transaction date. FX gains and losses tracked per IFRS.

UAE Trading Companies โ€” Accounting & Tax FAQs

UAE trading companies whose taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 per year must register for VAT with the FTA. Those above AED 187,500 may register voluntarily. ETaxFlow tracks taxable turnover and alerts you when thresholds are approaching.

Trading companies charge 5% VAT on standard-rated sales and reclaim input VAT on purchases from VAT-registered suppliers. ETaxFlow records both, auto-populates VAT 201 return boxes, and maintains the required FTA invoice format for every sale.

UAE mainland trading companies pay 0% CT on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on the portion above. Companies with revenue below AED 3M may elect Small Business Relief. ETaxFlow computes CT taxable income from your accounting records and flags non-deductible expenses.

Yes. ETaxFlow records foreign-currency supplier invoices, converts them at the transaction date rate, and posts the AED equivalent to accounts payable. Bank payments in foreign currency are matched against invoices with FX gain or loss on settlement recognised automatically.

ETaxFlow allows you to allocate freight, customs duty, insurance and other landed costs to purchase orders so the true cost of imported goods is reflected in inventory valuation and cost of goods sold.

ETaxFlow connects to major UAE commercial banks including Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB, Mashreq, RAK Bank and DIB. Bank statement imports via CSV or MT940 are also supported for banks without a direct feed connection.
