United Arab Emirates
Odoo configured around UAE VAT, tax invoices, e-invoicing and WPS payroll. Delivered remotely from India.
Odoo in the UAE
Odoo accounting covers multi-currency and multi-company. For the UAE we use AED as the company currency, set the 5% VAT taxes and fiscal positions your accountant approves, and design the invoice report around the mandatory Tax Invoice contents.
The QWeb invoice report is adjusted to show TRN, a sequential number, dates, line VAT and totals in AED, and a separate Tax Credit Note layout with the reason and the corrected values.
We prepare employee and bank data for WPS and map where an accredited e-invoicing provider connects to Odoo. Which Odoo version and app supports each UAE step is confirmed by our delivery team.
A UAE business must register when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the past 12 months or are expected to within 30 days; voluntary registration starts at AED 187,500. Apply within 30 days of becoming liable.

A simplified tax invoice may be issued where the recipient is not VAT-registered, or is registered and the consideration is AED 10,000 or less. It carries fewer particulars: supplier name, address and TRN, issue date, description, total and VAT amount.

Corporate tax applies from the first financial year starting on or after 1 June 2023: 0 per cent on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9 per cent above it, with a different rate for certain large multinationals.

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.
Agree which Odoo apps are in scope (accounting, invoicing, payroll) and confirm with our delivery team which version and UAE localisation module supports each step.
Set the VAT taxes and the fiscal positions for local, zero-rated and exempt sales, with the TRN on the company and on partners.
Adjust the invoice and credit note reports to the required contents, including a simplified layout where it is allowed.
Run sample documents past your adviser, load opening balances, and train your team remotely.
The rules allow a simplified tax invoice in some cases, for example where the buyer is not VAT-registered. We build it as a separate QWeb layout with only the particulars the guide lists, and your adviser decides when it may be used.
That depends on the apps you need and on what the UAE localisation supports in each version. Our delivery team confirms this during the scoping step, before any promise is made.
