UAE VAT, from tax invoice to VAT201, without the spreadsheet

You post your sales, purchases, credit notes and reverse-charge entries as normal through the period. At period end you open the VAT Return Worksheet in Zeyto, which reproduces the FTA VAT201 form box by box - standard-rated sales split by emirate, zero-rated, exempt, reverse-charge in and out, capital-asset adjustments and imports. You review each figure by clicking through to the underlying transactions, then transcribe the numbers into EmaraTax, the FTA's online portal. Zeyto does not submit the return for you - under current FTA rules the taxable person keys and confirms the return in EmaraTax - but it produces every figure you will need, and stores the worksheet as evidence for the audit trail.

Yes. The VAT Return Worksheet in Zeyto is laid out in the same order as the FTA VAT201 form: Box 1a to 1g for standard-rated supplies split by emirate, Box 2 for tax refunds to tourists, Box 3 for supplies under reverse-charge, Box 4 for zero-rated, Box 5 for exempt, Box 6 and 7 for goods and services imported, Box 8 for standard-rated expenses, Box 9 for supplies subject to reverse-charge recoverable, and the adjustments and net VAT payable rows. Every figure drills down to the source documents in a single click.

You flag either the supplier master or the individual invoice line as reverse-charge. On save, Zeyto posts the invoice at the net amount and simultaneously writes matching Output VAT Payable (RCM) and Input VAT Recoverable (RCM) entries at 5%, so the return-period effect is nil where the input is fully recoverable and the FTA reporting boxes are populated correctly. For imports of goods that clear through UAE customs, Zeyto can also import a Dubai Customs CSV to pre-populate Box 6 with the customs-declared values.

Yes, and the correction path depends on the size of the error. Under FTA rules, errors of AED 10,000 or less are corrected in the next VAT return period; larger errors require a voluntary disclosure through EmaraTax within 20 business days of discovery. In Zeyto, filed periods are locked, so any adjusting entry posts to the current open period with a reason code - bad debt relief, contract variation, error correction - and the VAT worksheet for the current period shows the adjustment separately on the adjustments line, giving you the exact figure to disclose.

Yes. Every customer master carries a default emirate of supply, and every sales invoice, POS receipt and van-sales invoice records the emirate at the transaction level so it can be overridden per invoice where the place of supply differs. The VAT worksheet then produces the seven separate rows the FTA asks for - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah - with the totals summing exactly to your standard-rated sales figure.

Zeyto's invoice engine already emits the structured data needed to build a UAE Peppol PINT invoice in UBL 2.1, and the accredited service provider connector is on the committed roadmap for the phased mandate that begins in 2026 and broadens in 2027. Because Zeyto is internet-resilient, the ASP integration is packaged inside the local application so your books do not move to the cloud - the ERP dispatches the invoice through the ASP over a secure HTTPS connection, keeping your primary data on your own local database.
