UAE VAT and tax compliance, handled continuously — not at deadline time
Every transaction is tax-coded as it happens, so your VAT return is a formality, not a fire drill — with the tax engine built around UAE Federal Tax Authority requirements first.
Tax compliance usually gets bolted onto accounting software as an afterthought. Glount takes the opposite approach: tax and VAT management is a core module, and every invoice, bill, and expense is tax-coded automatically as it's created, using rules aligned to the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
The goal is simple: by the time your VAT return is due, the numbers are already correct, categorized, and ready to file — not something your team reconstructs from receipts and spreadsheets at the last minute.
Capabilities planned for Tax & VAT Management
Automatic VAT coding
Standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt, and out-of-scope supplies are coded automatically, with the current UAE 5% VAT rate applied where standard-rated.
E-invoicing–ready records
Invoice data is structured to align with the UAE's phased e-invoicing mandate as it rolls out to businesses.
VAT return preparation
A continuously updated VAT return summary — output VAT, recoverable input VAT, and net position — ready for filing.
Audit-ready trail
Every transaction keeps the documentation and tax treatment needed to stand up to an FTA audit.
AI compliance checks
AI reviews transactions for tax-coding inconsistencies before they become return-filing problems.
GCC roadmap
UAE VAT first, with Saudi Arabia (15%), Bahrain (10%), and Oman (5%) VAT frameworks planned next as we expand across the GCC.
How AI works inside Tax & VAT Management
- Applies the correct VAT treatment to each transaction based on supply type and customer location
- Reviews the VAT return before filing and flags anything that looks inconsistent or incomplete
- Tracks upcoming filing deadlines and reminds the right person on your team
- Answers plain-language questions about your VAT position, like “how much VAT do we owe this quarter?”
Concept preview — the product interface is still in development.
Questions about Tax & VAT Management
What is the current VAT rate in the UAE?
The UAE's standard VAT rate is 5%, in place since VAT was introduced in 2018. Certain supplies are zero-rated or exempt under FTA rules. Glount applies the correct treatment automatically based on the transaction.
Is Glount tracking the UAE e-invoicing mandate?
Yes. The UAE is rolling out a phased e-invoicing mandate for B2B and B2G transactions through the Federal Tax Authority. Glount's invoice data model is being built to align with these structured e-invoicing requirements as the rollout proceeds — always confirm current deadlines directly with the FTA, since implementation dates can be updated.
Will Glount support VAT in other GCC countries?
UAE VAT compliance comes first. Saudi Arabia (15% VAT), Bahrain (10%), and Oman (5%) are on our roadmap, since each has its own VAT framework under the wider GCC VAT agreement. Qatar and Kuwait had not implemented VAT as of publication.
Is this a substitute for a tax advisor?
No. Glount is designed to keep your records accurate and organized for VAT and tax filing, but it isn't a substitute for advice from a licensed tax agent or accountant, particularly for complex situations. We'd always recommend confirming filing positions with a qualified professional.
