VAT & Accounting

Property accounting with UAE VAT built in, not bolted on

Aqari applies the right VAT treatment automatically — 5% on commercial leases, 0% on residential — tracks it per TRN, and keeps your books FTA-ready. Real estate accounting, collections, and VAT filing data in one system instead of three.

Compliance that happens automatically

Generic accounting software doesn't know that a warehouse lease and an apartment lease are taxed differently in the UAE. Aqari does — VAT logic follows the property, so invoices, receipts, and reports are correct by default.

Automatic VAT treatment

5% on commercial, 0% on residential — applied per unit and per contract without manual selection.

Manage multiple tax registration numbers across owning entities, with VAT tracked and reported per TRN.

Dirham formatting, Arabic and English documents, and culture-aware number display throughout.

Frequently asked questions

How does VAT apply to rent in the UAE?

Commercial property leases are subject to 5% VAT; residential leases are exempt (0%). Mixed-use buildings need both treatments applied to the right units — which Aqari handles automatically per unit type.

Can I manage VAT for multiple companies?

Yes. Multi-TRN support means each owning entity's VAT is tracked separately, with per-TRN summaries for filing.

Do I still need separate accounting software?

For property operations, no — collections, expenses, VAT, deposits, and owner distributions live in Aqari. Your accountant gets clean, exportable records instead of reconciling three systems.
