United Arab Emirates
ERPNext configured around UAE VAT, tax invoices, e-invoicing and WPS payroll. Delivered remotely from India.
ERPNext in the UAE
ERPNext uses tax templates and print formats. For the UAE we set the 5% standard rate, zero-rated and exempt cases your accountant confirms, and an invoice layout carrying the Tax Invoice wording, TRN and AED totals.
ERPNext handles multi-currency and multi-company, which suits UAE groups trading in dollars or euros. We set AED as the company currency and record the exchange rate used on each foreign-currency invoice.
We plan the salary data you need for WPS, and the connection to an accredited e-invoicing service provider. What ERPNext supports out of the box for the UAE is confirmed by our delivery team before we promise it.
VAT was introduced on 1 January 2018 at a standard rate of 5 per cent, charged by VAT-registered businesses on taxable supplies of goods and services.

A full tax invoice shows the words Tax Invoice, supplier and (if VAT-registered) recipient name, address and TRN, a sequential number, issue and supply dates, description, unit price, quantity, VAT rate, discounts, and the gross and VAT amounts in AED with the exchange rate used.

A tax credit note must carry the words Tax Credit Note, party details and TRN, issue date, original and corrected values with the VAT difference in AED, a short reason, and enough detail to identify the supply it adjusts.

MoHRE-registered establishments pay wages through the Wage Protection System via Central Bank-authorised banks, exchange houses or financial institutions. Ministerial Resolution 340 of 2026 sets wages due on the first of each month, with at least 85 per cent transferred on time.

A summary for orientation only. It is not legal advice.
Create the company with AED as default currency, the chart of accounts and the TRN, and switch on the foreign currencies you trade in.
Sales and purchase tax templates for the standard rate, zero-rated and exempt cases your accountant confirms.
Tax Invoice and Tax Credit Note print formats with the mandatory contents, and a naming series that stays sequential.
Salary structures and bank details arranged for the WPS file, then remote training and support.
ERPNext is multi-currency, so an invoice can carry the customer currency and the rate used. We set AED as the company currency and test sample documents so the AED VAT total is shown as the Federal Tax Authority guide expects.
A tax invoice needs a sequential number. In ERPNext we use a naming series per document type and company, and we test that credit notes carry their own series and point back to the original invoice. Your adviser approves the final format.
