Odoo · UAE accounting
Accounting that meets UAE rules, without spreadsheets
VAT, corporate tax, e-invoicing: accounting obligations have tightened markedly in the UAE. We configure Odoo accounting to meet them natively, and train your teams to European standards.
Your obligations
What the law requires from your books
5% VAT
Standard rate, zero rate, exemptions, reverse charge: every transaction needs the right VAT category, all the more with e-invoicing.
Corporate tax
9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. It demands reliable books, properly classified accounts and, in some cases, audited financial statements.
Record keeping
Books, invoices and supporting documents must be kept for several years (seven years for corporate tax) and produced quickly in an audit.
E-invoicing
From 2027, your B2B and B2G invoices become structured data sent through an accredited provider. Your accounting must keep up.
