VAT record-keeping workflow in the UAE
Prepare UAE VAT records for accountant review.
Gather sales and purchase records, expense evidence, and related payment context; flag gaps and route review questions before an accountant checks VAT treatment.
Diwanio supports operational VAT preparation for UAE businesses. It does not determine liability, register a business, or submit a VAT return.

Use current Federal Tax Authority material for scope and obligations. Diwanio organises evidence; it does not replace professional tax advice.
What Diwanio does not do
Diwanio does not file returns, provide tax or legal advice, make professional conclusions, act as a bank, or submit invoice packages to an authority. Suggestions remain visible and reviewable.
VAT record-keeping questions
Use the workflow to prepare evidence; keep tax decisions with the qualified professional.
What UAE VAT records should I prepare for my accountant?
It varies by business and review scope. As a practical starting set, gather sales and purchase invoices and credit notes, expense receipts, relevant payment evidence, and bank or payment-platform records that help explain activity. Note missing documents and unclear transaction context for the accountant. This is not a complete legal checklist; confirm which records and VAT treatment apply with a qualified adviser.
Does Diwanio calculate my VAT liability?
Diwanio can support visible preparation and review workflows, but it does not replace professional judgement or determine your tax liability.
Can I use it before a VAT filing?
Yes, as a preparation and evidence workflow. A qualified professional must review the records and handle any required filing.
Bring the next financial review into one visible workflow.
Start with the documents you already have, assign the missing context, and hand over the records behind each number.
