Import and Export Documentation: Customs declarations, shipping documents, bills of lading, and import/export invoices for goods traded internationally are necessary for determining VAT treatment on imports and exports.
Credit Notes and Debit Notes: Issued in case of adjustments to previously issued invoices, reflecting changes in the amount or quantity of goods or services supplied, which may impact VAT calculations.
Accounting Records: General ledger, sales ledger, purchase ledger, cash book, bank statements, and other financial records maintained by the business, providing a comprehensive overview of transactions for VAT reporting and compliance purposes.
Legal Compliance: VAT accounting is mandatory for businesses meeting the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) threshold in Dubai. Failure to comply with VAT regulations can result in penalties, fines, or legal action. Therefore, maintaining accurate VAT accounting records ensures adherence to the law.
Tax Liability Determination: VAT accounting helps businesses calculate their tax liability accurately. By tracking taxable supplies, purchases, input VAT, and output VAT, businesses can determine the amount of VAT they owe to the government. This ensures proper tax reporting and payment, minimising the risk of underpayment or overpayment.

Input Tax Recovery: VAT accounting enables businesses to reclaim input VAT paid on purchases and expenses related to their taxable activities. Proper documentation and accounting records are necessary to support input tax recovery claims. Failing to maintain adequate records can result in missed opportunities for reclaiming input tax, leading to higher costs for the business.
Business Decision-Making: Effective VAT accounting provides valuable insights into a business’s financial health and performance. By analysing VAT accounting data, businesses can identify trends, assess profitability, and make informed decisions regarding pricing, resource allocation, and investment strategies. Accurate VAT accounting also facilitates budgeting and forecasting processes, enabling businesses to plan for growth and expansion.
