ERP for UAE free zone companies

Free zone trading, re-export and services companies run on different rhythms to mainland retail - multiple currencies, multiple related entities, and tax and licensing rules that need clean, auditable books. Zeyto runs the same core system for both, on your own server or private cloud.

Built for free zone operating patterns

Free zone companies buy and sell differently to a mainland shop

A DMCC trading desk, a JAFZA re-export operation and a RAKEZ or Ajman Free Zone services company share a pattern that mainland retail does not: multiple currencies on the same invoice run, stock that often moves in and out of the country rather than off a local shelf, and a group structure with more than one licensed entity.

Zeyto is one install with sales, purchase, inventory, accounting, VAT and reporting in the same system, so a free zone company is not stitching together a billing tool, a spreadsheet for FX and a separate accounting package. The database sits on your own server or private cloud inside the UAE, which keeps daily operations running during an internet outage and keeps the free zone company's records under its own control rather than a third party's cloud.

What free zone teams use most

Core capabilities for free zone operations

Multi-currency invoicing

Sales and purchase documents in the customer or supplier's currency, booked to AED at the transaction-date rate, with year-end revaluation on open monetary balances.

Multi-company and consolidation

Run more than one licensed entity - a free zone company and a mainland distributor, for example - on the same install with separate books and combined reporting.

Landed cost and re-export stock

Freight, duty and clearing charges allocated into item cost, with batch, serial and warehouse tracking for goods moving in and out of the country.

UAE VAT codes on every line

Standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt, out-of-scope and reverse-charge tax codes captured at posting time, feeding the VAT201 worksheet - work with your tax adviser on the specific VAT treatment of your free zone and transaction type.

Corporate Tax-ready ledger

A real double-entry chart of accounts, related-party tagging and an audit trail, the same records your tax adviser needs to assess Qualifying Free Zone Person status and file your Corporate Tax return.

Bilingual documents

English and Arabic invoices, statements and labels for counterparties across the UAE and the wider GCC.

Buying criteria

What to check before choosing ERP for a free zone company

  • Does it handle more than one currency on the same document, with a clear AED equivalent for VAT and reporting?
  • Can it run two or more licensed entities without buying a second system?
  • Does it keep working when the free zone's shared internet has a bad day?
  • Does the chart of accounts and VAT code set match what your UAE tax adviser needs for VAT201 and Corporate Tax?
  • Does the database stay on infrastructure you control, rather than a vendor's shared cloud?
Free zone tax treatment depends on your specific facts

Qualifying Free Zone Person status for Corporate Tax, and VAT treatment for specific free zone and designated zone transactions, both depend on conditions set by the FTA that vary by activity and structure. Zeyto gives you a clean, auditable ledger and the underlying registers; confirm your specific VAT and Corporate Tax position with a licensed UAE tax adviser or the FTA.

FAQ

Straight answers

Does Zeyto support multiple currencies for free zone trading?
Yes. Sales and purchase documents can be raised in the customer or supplier's currency, booked to AED at the transaction-date rate for accounting and VAT purposes, with year-end revaluation available on open foreign-currency balances.
Can Zeyto run more than one free zone entity, or a free zone and a mainland company together?
Yes. Zeyto supports multiple companies on the same install, each with its own books, numbering and users, which suits a group with a free zone entity and a mainland entity or a second free zone licence.
Is Zeyto suitable for DMCC, JAFZA, RAKEZ, Ajman Free Zone or Sharjah free zone companies?
Zeyto is built for UAE trading, distribution and services workflows generally, which covers the common activities licensed in UAE free zones - general trading, re-export, logistics and professional services among them. Confirm your free zone's specific licence-category requirements with your free zone authority.
Does Zeyto handle Qualifying Free Zone Person Corporate Tax status?
Zeyto keeps the double-entry ledger, related-party tagging, fixed-asset register and audit trail your tax adviser needs to assess and support a Qualifying Free Zone Person position, and to prepare the UAE Corporate Tax return. Zeyto does not determine your tax status - that assessment should come from a licensed UAE tax adviser or the FTA.
Can a free zone company use Zeyto without depending on the free zone's shared internet?
Yes. Zeyto installs on your own server or private cloud and keeps invoicing, stock and accounting running during an internet outage. Connectivity is only needed for optional sync, licence checks and encrypted backup.
