United Arab Emirates
SAP configured around UAE VAT, tax invoices, e-invoicing and WPS payroll. Delivered remotely from India.
SAP in the UAE
For a UAE company code we plan the chart of accounts, the 5% VAT tax codes and AED as local currency, with group reporting currency handled separately. The invoice output follows the contents of a tax invoice in the Federal Tax Authority guide.
Large taxpayers have the earliest e-invoicing dates. We map invoice data to what an accredited service provider needs and agree who owns the connection. SAP-side support for the UAE format is confirmed by our delivery team before we promise it.
Where payroll runs outside SAP, we design the interface that supplies salary data for the Wage Protection System. We do not claim a ready-made UAE payroll package.
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 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.
