VAT invoice software for UAE businesses
A UAE VAT tax invoice must show the supplier's TRN, a sequential number, the date, the buyer's details, a description of each supply, the VAT rate and the VAT amount in AED. VAT invoice software fills these fields automatically, applies 5% or 0% per line and keeps every invoice for the required retention period.
