Compliance
Every document tested against the UAE and Saudi tax rules before it posts. Every journal carries its evidence.
The rules, document by document
Each check runs as a document comes in. A failure is held with its reason and brought to a person; it is not claimed quietly and corrected later.
UAE VAT · Article 59
Before input VAT is claimed, each invoice is tested against the FTA’s tax-invoice criteria: TRN present, rates, arithmetic, rounding. An invoice that fails is held with the reason stated, not silently claimed.
The tax-invoice checklistInput VAT · Cabinet Decision 149 of 2026
From 1 October 2026 Hysaab records the settlement method on every purchase and holds input VAT on cash-settled supplies above the Ministerial threshold. It tags employee-benefit and accommodation costs until the legal-obligation or FTA-condition basis is recorded, flags separately priced bundles that carry different rates, and tests assets at AED 5 million and above for the Capital Asset Scheme. Partially exempt books get the 2028 turnover-based apportionment modelled alongside today’s method. In detail: cash payments, staff accommodation, bundled supplies.
Guide to Cabinet Decision 149 of 2026Corporate tax
UAE Corporate Tax (9%) accrues monthly instead of surfacing at year-end. VAT and corporate tax turnover are reconciled to each other each month, and the difference is explained.
Corporate tax calculatorKSA · ZATCA
For Saudi entities, the 15% VAT rules apply and ZATCA e-invoice clearance status is tracked invoice by invoice, so each claim can be traced to the cleared document behind it.
ZATCA e-invoicing, Phase 2E-invoicing
Hysaab reads and validates structured invoices today, ahead of the UAE e-invoicing mandate.
Filing calendar
Filing deadlines are tracked for each regime on the tax screen. You review the return and file it; Hysaab does not submit returns for you.

Invoices are tested against the UAE tax-invoice criteria as they arrive, and input VAT is held until a document qualifies. VAT and corporate tax turnover are reconciled to each other each month, with the difference explained, and filing deadlines are tracked.
Tax, sample data: the VAT to corporate tax reconciliation and the filing calendar.
Controls behind every rule
The tax tests sit on four controls that hold whichever regime you report under.
When you close a period it locks, and the lock applies to everyone, Hysaab included. Nothing is deleted: voids are mirrored reversals, so the trail stays whole.
Every action, by a person or by Hysaab, is logged with its source evidence and the commentary behind it. When your auditor or the FTA asks, the trail is already attached to the entry.
Hysaab proposes and a person approves. Anything above your journal-value threshold, any low-confidence coding and any suspected duplicate waits in the decision queue for a person.
Your books live in an isolated tenant with row-level security. Ledger credentials are stored server-side, encrypted, and are not sent to a browser. Sign-in supports mandatory two-factor authentication, and your ledger connection can be revoked at any time, from Hysaab or from the ledger’s side.
What Hysaab does not do
Hysaab prepares and checks the books that a return is drawn from. The filing, the tax position and the signature stay with a person.
Hysaab prepares the figures, reconciles them and tracks the deadlines. A person reviews the return and files it with the authority.
Hysaab tests documents against the rules described on this page and shows the result with its reason. It does not issue or sign tax opinions. A position that needs judgement goes to you or your adviser.
A failed test is held and flagged, not resolved on your behalf. An override needs a written reason, and the reason is recorded with the entry.
How we look after your data, and where we draw the line with firms and their clients, is set out on our trust page.
