UAE VAT & FTA
VAT accounting software for the UAE — FTA-ready
In the UAE, VAT isn’t a feature you add at quarter-end — it has to be right on every single transaction. StockFlow calculates 5% VAT as you sell and buy, issues invoices in the formats the FTA expects, and produces a VAT return report you can file from. With mandatory e-invoicing arriving in 2026, getting this foundation right now matters.

VAT on every transaction
Output VAT on sales and input VAT on purchases are computed automatically at 5%, line by line — no spreadsheets, no manual tax columns.
FTA-format tax invoices
Issue Tax Invoices and Simplified Tax Invoices with sequential numbering and the required breakdown — the structure the FTA recognises and a clean base for 2026 e-invoicing.
A VAT return you can file from
The VAT report splits output VAT, input VAT and net payable for the period — the exact figures your FTA return needs — and exports for filing or your accountant.
Backed by real double-entry books
VAT isn’t bolted on; it flows from a true general ledger. Every sale and purchase posts a balanced entry including the VAT accounts, so your filings reconcile to your accounts.

Frequently asked questions
- Is StockFlow FTA compliant?
- VAT is calculated at 5% on every transaction, invoices issue in FTA-recognised Tax/Simplified Tax formats with sequential numbering, and the VAT report produces the output, input and net-payable figures your FTA return requires.
- What about UAE e-invoicing in 2026?
- StockFlow already issues structured, sequentially-numbered tax invoices backed by a real ledger — the right foundation for the upcoming e-invoicing mandate. See our guide to UAE e-invoicing 2026 for the timeline and how to prepare.
- Can my accountant get what they need?
- Yes. The VAT report and the standard financial statements (Trial Balance, P&L, Balance Sheet) come straight from the ledger and export cleanly for your accountant or filing.
- Does it handle zero-rated and exempt supplies?
- VAT is applied per the supply type on each line, and the VAT report separates the components so your return reflects standard, zero-rated and exempt treatment correctly.
