Out of the box
What ships for the UAE.
These are the defaults the workspace starts with when you pick the country. Every one of them is a setting you can change.
| Setting | Default for United Arab Emirates |
|---|---|
| Tax regime | VAT, with inclusive or exclusive pricing per business, and tax split to its own ledger on every posting. |
| Shipped rates |
|
| On documents | Your TRN and business details on every invoice, quotation, receipt, and voucher. |
| Currency | UAE dirham (AED) as base currency; any other currency on documents with the exchange rate carried into the books. |
| Languages | Workspace in Arabic and English , with right-to-left layout in Arabic and paired Arabic–English labels on printed documents. |
| Financial year | Most companies close on the calendar year; set yours to match your licence and corporate-tax period. |
Why it fits here
Built for how business runs in the UAE.
The UAE is where a single business most often trades in three currencies before lunch: a supplier bill in dollars, a sale in dirhams, a freight invoice in euros. Flowyana carries each exchange rate into the voucher and reports in dirhams, so the tax summary and the trial balance agree without a spreadsheet in between.
Multi-branch is the norm rather than the exception — a showroom in Dubai, a warehouse in Jebel Ali, a counter in Abu Dhabi. Each branch keeps its own documents, cash sessions, and staff — who see only their branch — while the owner reads one set of books.
Compliance, stated plainly
E-invoicing and filing in the UAE
The Federal Tax Authority’s e-invoicing programme opened a voluntary pilot on 1 July 2026. Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026 and issue e-invoices from 1 January 2027; all other businesses appoint one by 31 March 2027 and go live from 1 July 2027. Invoices travel in a standard electronic format through that accredited provider.

What Flowyana does — and does not — claim
- Does: posts VAT to its own ledger on every sale, purchase, expense, and POS settlement; keeps a tax summary that agrees with the ledger; puts your TRN on every document; locks closed periods.
- Does not: claim certified integration with any e-invoicing or filing platform. Get any vendor’s status in writing before you buy — including ours — and let your accountant confirm what and when you must file.

Flowyana in the UAE, answered.
Is Flowyana set up for UAE VAT?
Yes. The UAE profile ships with 5% standard and 0% zero-rated VAT, the TRN label for documents, and tax-inclusive or exclusive pricing. Every sale, purchase, expense, and POS settlement posts its VAT to its own ledger, and the tax summary report reads from those postings so you have clean figures to file your return from.
Will Flowyana issue e-invoices under the 2027 FTA mandate?
We do not claim FTA e-invoicing integration or Accredited Service Provider status today. The mandate is phased from January 2027, and any vendor’s readiness should be confirmed in writing before you rely on it — including ours. What you can rely on now is that your invoices are already structured, VAT-split records, which is the foundation any e-invoicing route builds on.
Can our invoices be in Arabic and English?
Yes. Document templates print paired Arabic and English labels on one page, and the workspace itself runs right-to-left in Arabic for staff who prefer it.
Does it handle dollars and euros alongside dirhams?
Yes. Any currency can be used on a document; the exchange rate is carried into the voucher and reports read in your base currency.
