Made for the UAE

Local tax rules, already set up

The UAE edition comes with the UAE's tax rates, return layout and chart of accounts, so you start working on day one.

VAT 5%, ready to file

Standard, zero-rated, exempt and out-of-scope categories. The VAT return is built from your invoices, bills, credit notes, advances and late bills, with drill-down to each document.

Corporate tax

Corporate tax report by financial year and quarter, with the 9% rate above the AED 375,000 threshold, provisions, payments and due dates nine months after year end.

Excise tax (optional)

Turn on excise tax per company. Excise goods, an Excise tab in the Tax menu and monthly returns due 15 days after the period.

E-invoice field check

Checks each invoice for the mandatory UAE e-invoice data published by the Ministry of Finance, so your records are ready before e-invoicing applies to you.

English and Arabic

Switch the program to Arabic. Your own names and descriptions are shown as you typed them.

Daily exchange rates

Foreign-currency rates from the Central Bank of the UAE are updated every day. Saved documents keep their own rate.

Post-dated cheques

A PDC register and calendar for cheques received and issued, with deposit, clearing and bounce handling.

Payroll and gratuity

Employees, payroll runs, salary slips by email and the end-of-service gratuity provision per employee.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does the free trial work?

Download the edition you want and install it. It runs with every feature for 15 days. After that your books stay readable and printable, and you enter a product key to keep working.

Do I need to host it myself?

The web edition runs on your own server or hosting with Node.js 22.5 or newer. The Windows edition installs on a PC in a few clicks. If you need help choosing or setting up, talk to us.

Can I manage more than one company?

Yes. Each company gets its own set of books with its own users, package and product key, all from one installation.

Can I import my existing data?

Yes. Use the Excel template to import customers, customer invoices, suppliers, supplier bills and expenses, and enter opening balances per account, customer and supplier.

Where is my data stored?

On your own server (web edition) or your own PC (Windows edition). Baats LLC does not hold your accounting data.

How do I get support?

Message us on WhatsApp or email [email protected]. Help & Support is also inside the program, in the Account menu.

Does it submit my VAT return to the FTA?

It prepares the figures for each box of your VAT return from your books. You then submit them on the FTA's EmaraTax portal.

Is it ready for UAE e-invoicing?

It checks every invoice for the mandatory e-invoice fields. It does not yet create PINT AE XML files or connect to an Accredited Service Provider, so when e-invoicing becomes mandatory for your business you will also need an ASP connection.
