5%
5% standard-rated
Output tax on sales and recoverable input tax on purchases, calculated at entry and posted to the VAT control accounts.
VAT return software that makes VAT201 a copy-across, not a rebuild
Every invoice, purchase and credit note is tagged with the right VAT treatment the moment it's entered - so at the end of the period your VAT201 boxes are already calculated, ready for the FTA portal.
Compliance without the scramble
The return should already be done
Most UAE SMEs rebuild their VAT position from scratch every quarter in a spreadsheet. That is where errors, missed input tax and late filings come from. Zeyto removes the rebuild.
In Zeyto, VAT is not a report you assemble at the end - it is a property of every transaction as it happens. A sale carries its 5% output tax, a purchase carries its recoverable input tax, an import records its reverse-charge entries, and zero-rated or exempt supplies are tagged as such. Because the treatment is captured at entry, the VAT201 return is a live summary of the boxes the FTA asks for, not a month-end reconstruction. You review it, confirm it against the ledger, and copy the figures into the FTA portal. Every number on the return traces back to the invoices behind it, so an FTA query has an answer in seconds.

201
VAT201-ready summary
The return is presented in the FTA's box structure, reconciled to the ledger, ready to file.
What it prevents
The mistakes that cost real money
- Missed input tax you were entitled to reclaim, because a purchase was never tagged.
- Understated output tax from a sale posted without VAT - the kind of error that triggers penalties.
- A return that doesn't reconcile to the ledger, so you can't defend it if the FTA asks.
- Late filing because the quarter-end spreadsheet took three days instead of an hour.
- No audit trail from a return figure back to the invoice that produced it.
Already shaped for 2027 e-invoicing
The UAE is moving to mandatory Peppol-based e-invoicing from 2027. Because Zeyto already structures every invoice with the tax detail the standard needs, you are building clean data now rather than retrofitting later. When the mandate lands, your invoices are already the right shape.
UAE e-invoicing readiness
Prepare invoices, VAT and data fields before the mandate bites
Zeyto is built around UAE VAT, structured invoice data, local validation and an ASP integration path for the UAE e-invoicing programme.

FAQ
Straight answers
Does Zeyto file the VAT201 for me on the FTA portal?
Zeyto produces the VAT201 in the FTA's box structure, fully reconciled to your ledger. Filing itself is done on the FTA portal - Zeyto turns it into a copy-across of already-calculated figures rather than a quarter-end rebuild.
Does it handle reverse-charge on imports?
Yes. Imported goods and services record the reverse-charge output and input entries automatically, so your return is neither understated nor double-counted.
Can every VAT figure be traced back to its invoices?
Yes. Each box on the return drills back to the individual transactions behind it, so an FTA query is answered in seconds with a full audit trail.
Will this help when e-invoicing becomes mandatory in 2027?
Yes. Zeyto already captures the tax detail the UAE Peppol e-invoicing standard requires, so your invoice data is being built in the right shape now instead of being retrofitted later.
