VAT and corporate tax
Both UAE taxes, kept right as you work.
Every invoice, bill and bank line in Baats carries its tax treatment. So your VAT return is ready when the quarter ends, and your corporate tax position is clear all year, not just at filing time.

- Standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt and out-of-scope supplies.
- Reverse charge on imported services and goods.
- Designated zone supplies kept apart from mainland supplies.
- A reminder when your sales approach the AED 375,000 mandatory registration threshold.
