Check every box against your source records first: derived is not audited.

Open any box and see the invoices and bills behind it. Prepared here, filed by you. Sample figures.

Derived from the ledger, so it ties out

The VAT 201 is a report over your posted documents rather than a form somebody fills in. Output VAT comes from tax invoices, credit notes and debit notes; input VAT comes from supplier bills. If a number looks wrong you open the box and see the documents that made it, which is a conversation with your auditor that takes minutes instead of a week.

  • Output and input VAT at 5%, from documents that already posted to the general ledger
  • Credit and debit notes handled throughout, not bolted on
  • Date-ranged and drillable, straight through to the source document
  • Export to Excel, CSV or PDF

Tax invoices with your TRN, rendered while you wait

A UAE tax invoice has to carry your TRN and show the tax, and Qaflo renders it server-side fast enough that nobody waits for it. Credit notes, debit notes and supplier bills run the same path, so what the VAT return reads is what the customer received.

  • TRN on the document, with VAT shown on the line rather than added at the bottom
  • Credit and debit notes on the same rendering path
  • Supplier bills posting input VAT with payment allocated against open items
  • Post-dated cheques, retention and customer advances tracked properly
Said out loud

What it is not

It is not an e-invoicing submission. Qaflo is not an accredited service provider and transmits nothing to the FTA on your behalf. Under the phased mandate you appoint an ASP and file through it — from 1 January 2027 at or above AED 50m turnover, 1 July 2027 below it — and Qaflo is where the invoice is raised, not the pipe it travels down. The return is prepared here and filed by you. Check every box against your source records first: derived is not the same as audited.

The modules behind it

Where this lives in the platform

One database underneath all of it, so what you enter here is what everyone else reads.

ReportingReports over your own ledger and your own pipeline, each date-ranged, drillable to the document it came from, and exportable to Excel, CSV or PDF — including the FTA VAT 201 return, box by box.Finance & VATA real double-entry ledger underneath, not a spreadsheet with totals. Invoices, receipts, supplier bills and payments post to the general ledger as they happen, so the VAT return comes out of that ledger instead of out of a spreadsheet at the end of the quarter.
Questions

What people ask about this

Not answered here? Ask us directly.

Does Qaflo produce the FTA VAT 201 return?
Yes, box by box, derived from your own posted tax invoices, credit notes, debit notes and supplier bills. It exports to Excel, CSV or PDF and every box drills into the documents behind it.
Are tax invoices available in Arabic?
Not today. The tax invoice renders in English, carrying your TRN and the tax on each line. If an Arabic invoice is a requirement for you, say so on the call and we will tell you where it sits rather than promise it here.
Does Qaflo submit our VAT return to the FTA?
No. We are not an accredited e-invoicing service provider and nothing is transmitted on your behalf. The return is prepared in Qaflo and filed by you.
