Every sales invoice and supplier bill posts simultaneously to your double-entry ledger and your VAT 201 return — zero manual reconciliation, zero FTA audit surprises.
Most UAE businesses run their bookkeeping in one tool and their VAT in another. ETaxFlow merges both into a single ledger so nothing falls through the cracks.
Every transaction posts to your chart of accounts AND to the correct VAT 201 box simultaneously — standard rated, zero rated, exempt, and out of scope.
Output VAT and input VAT are tracked in dedicated control accounts so your balance sheet always matches your VAT liability to the FTA — to the fils.
Import UAE bank statements (ENBD, FAB, Mashreq, ADCB) and reconcile VAT payments, refunds, and penalty settlements directly against your general ledger.
Generate a trial balance at any date with VAT entries clearly separated — making external audits and FTA desk reviews a single report away.
Automatically calculates recoverable vs. non-recoverable input VAT, applies partial exemption rules, and records the net payable or refundable amount.
Record transactions in USD, GBP, EUR or any currency. ETaxFlow converts to AED using the exchange rate on the invoice date and posts the FX gain/loss automatically.
From invoice creation to VAT 201 submission — ETaxFlow handles every step without you touching a spreadsheet.

Common questions about UAE VAT accounting and how ETaxFlow handles them.
A VAT calculator simply computes 5% on an amount — it doesn't record anything. VAT accounting software like ETaxFlow posts every sale and purchase to a double-entry ledger, tracks the running VAT position across all transactions, and auto-generates the VAT 201 return at period end. It replaces both manual bookkeeping and separate VAT calculations in one system.
Each invoice line is classified individually — you set the VAT treatment (standard 5%, zero-rated, exempt, or out-of-scope) per product or service. ETaxFlow then splits the output in the VAT 201 return correctly: standard-rated into Box 1/2, zero-rated into Box 4, exempt into Box 5. No manual apportionment is needed.
Yes. ETaxFlow's import wizard accepts CSV and Excel files for sales invoices, purchase bills, and general journal entries. Historical open invoices can be imported to populate your AR and AP ageing reports. Our onboarding team assists with migration from your existing accounting software or Excel during setup.
ETaxFlow supports multi-entity setups where a UAE VAT group files a single consolidated VAT 201 return across multiple related entities. Inter-company transactions between VAT group members are excluded from the consolidated return automatically.
Expenses can be entered directly or via the bank feed. Petty cash transactions are posted through a dedicated petty cash account. VAT on expenses is claimed as input tax in Box 10 of the VAT 201 — provided the supplier has issued a valid UAE tax invoice with their TRN, which ETaxFlow validates on entry.
