Configuring UAE E-Invoice Settings

This page allows you to configure all the data required to issue electronic invoices compliant with the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) requirements, including tax agency data and mapping taxes to official codes. This article explains all the settings available on this page.

Before You Begin

• The account country must be set to the United Arab Emirates.
• The UAE E-Invoice application must be enabled from Apps Manager.

Steps to Configure the General E-Invoice Settings

• From the main menu, click Sales then select Sales Settings.
• Open UAE E-Invoice Settings.
• Click the “General Settings” card.
• Fill in the data as outlined in the steps below.

Section 1: General Settings

This section contains the identification data for your tax account with the Federal Tax Authority:

• EmaraTax Encryption Key: The encryption key for your EmaraTax platform account, used to secure the connection between Daftra and the Authority’s platform.
• Tax Agency Name: The official name of the tax agency registered with the Federal Tax Authority.
• Tax Agency Number (TAN): The tax agency identification number issued by the Authority.
• Tax Agent Name: The name of the person accredited as a tax agent to deal with the Authority on behalf of the company.
• Tax Agent Accreditation Number (TAAN): The official accreditation number issued by the Authority to the tax agent.
• FAF Version: The version of the tax audit file (FAF) required for export in accordance with the Authority’s requirements.

These fields are used to populate e-invoice data and audit files sent to the Federal Tax Authority. Make sure to enter them accurately according to your officially registered data.

Section 2: Tax Mapping

This section allows you to link the taxes defined in Daftra to the official tax codes approved by the Federal Tax Authority, so the system can correctly classify each tax when issuing electronic invoices and audit files.

The table includes the following two columns:

• System Taxes: The tax defined in Daftra’s tax settings.
• UAE Tax Code: The corresponding official UAE tax code.

Adding a New Mapping:

1. Click the Add button below the table.
2. From the System Taxes column, select the required tax.
3. From the UAE Tax Code column, select the corresponding official code.
4. Click Save.

Deleting an Existing Mapping:

Click the Delete button next to the mapping line you want to remove.

Important Rules to Follow When Mapping:

• Each tax can only be linked to one official code.
• Each official code can only be linked to one tax, with the exception of the Excise (T) code which can be linked to more than one tax.
• When the application is enabled for the first time, the system automatically maps the default taxes to their official codes, with the exception of the Excise code.

Saving the Settings

After entering all data in both sections, click Save to apply the settings.
