Aarvo supports UAE businesses - SMEs, freezone companies, and expatriate-owned businesses. VAT compliance, excise tax, and e-invoicing readiness are built into the platform.

What's available for UAE businesses

VAT returns - Calculate and track UAE VAT obligations. Standard rate (5%) and zero-rated supplies are pre-configured. Generate filing-ready VAT returns for submission to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

Excise tax - For businesses dealing in excise goods (tobacco, carbonated drinks, energy drinks, sweetened drinks). Track excise tax obligations and generate excise returns.

Tax Registration Number (TRN) - Store your TRN and have it appear on invoices, reports, and filings automatically.

Arabic name support - Workspace and business names support Arabic characters, meeting local documentation requirements.

Peppol e-invoicing

The UAE is mandating e-invoicing through the Peppol framework, with requirements phased in from January 2027 for large taxpayers and July 2027 for all businesses.

Aarvo is building Peppol compliance through integration with certified access points. This means UBL 2.1 XML invoice generation meeting PINT AE specifications, Tax Data Document (TDD) generation for FTA, and AS4 transport and SMP registration through the access point network.

FTA compliance

Aarvo generates reports and returns formatted for Federal Tax Authority requirements. VAT return data, excise calculations, and supporting documentation are all structured to meet FTA submission standards.

Multi-currency

UAE businesses frequently deal in multiple currencies. Aarvo supports multi-currency transactions with automatic exchange rate conversion, keeping your books accurate regardless of which currencies your invoices and expenses are in.
