### Sales documents
  - Create and send unlimited UAE tax invoices: From Invoices, create a document, add the client and line items, then send by email or WhatsApp or download the PDF. The invoice is numbered and archived once issued.
  - Create quotes and convert a quote into an invoice: Build a quote like an invoice, send it for approval, then convert it — line items and client details carry over so you do not retype the sale.
  - Issue credit notes against a paid or unpaid invoice: Open a paid or sent invoice and create a credit note against it. The original invoice is never altered — the credit note is its own numbered tax document, and only once sent does it reduce the VAT report.
  - Create delivery notes: From a sale or order context, create a delivery note listing what was shipped. It sits alongside the invoice as a fulfilment record, not a tax document.
  - Create purchase orders and track suppliers: Keep supplier records and raise purchase orders from them. Orders stay linked to the supplier so purchasing history is in one place.
  - Schedule recurring invoices: Set an interval and a start date on a client, and invoices are generated automatically on schedule as drafts you can review before sending.
  - Save invoice templates and reuse them: Save a common set of line items as a template, then start a new invoice from that template so repeat work is fill-in-the-blanks instead of blank.
  - Maintain a product and service catalogue with autocomplete on line items: Add products and services once in the catalogue; when you type a line item, matching catalogue entries autocomplete with description and price.

### Getting paid
  - Mark invoices paid or unpaid and track payment dates: On an invoice, mark it paid and record the payment date (or leave it unpaid). Status and dates show on the invoice list and in client balances.
  - Send automatic payment reminders by email: Turn on reminders for overdue invoices; the app emails the client on schedule so you do not chase every balance by hand.
  - Share documents by email, WhatsApp, or a downloadable link: From any invoice, quote, or credit note, choose email, WhatsApp, or download. The client gets a PDF (or a link to it) without leaving the app.
  - Give a client a private portal showing their documents and outstanding balance: Open a client and share their portal link. They see their invoices, quotes, and what is outstanding in one private place — no login for you to manage per document.
  - Set a per-client credit limit: On a client record, set a credit limit. New invoices are checked against that limit so you can see when a client is about to over-extend.
  - Generate a client statement of invoices and balances: From a client, generate a statement covering their invoices and balances for a period — useful when they ask what they owe.

### VAT and compliance
  - Issue FTA-compliant tax invoices with required UAE fields: Add your business TRN once in settings; every tax invoice then includes the title, TRNs, VAT breakdown, and totals the FTA expects for a UAE VAT invoice PDF.
  - Automatically choose full vs simplified tax invoice: When the customer has a TRN or the total is over AED 10,000, Fatura Go uses a full tax invoice; otherwise it uses a simplified tax invoice — you can still check the type before sending.
  - Calculate 5% VAT, including zero-rated and exempt lines: Set each line as standard (5%), zero-rated, or exempt. VAT and totals update on the document so the PDF matches what you charged.
  - Put supplier and customer TRNs on documents: Store the TRN on the business profile and on each client; both appear on full tax invoices when present, ready for B2B reclaim.
  - View a VAT report broken down by VAT type for a tax period / quarter: Open the VAT report, pick the period, and see standard, zero-rated, and exempt amounts — a snapshot for EmaraTax filing season, not an automatic filing.
  - Export an accountant Excel pack (multi-sheet: invoices, credit notes, expenses, VAT summary): Export the accountant pack for a period. You get a multi-sheet Excel file with invoices, credit notes, expenses, and a VAT summary to hand over at quarter end.
  - Keep issued invoices in your account history: Issued documents stay in your account history so you can reopen or resend them later — supporting FTA record-keeping without a separate archive tool.

### Expenses
  - Track expenses with categories: In Expenses, add an expense with amount, date, and category. Entries feed the P&L so spending is visible next to sales.
  - Attach receipts to expenses: Attach a photo or file to an expense when you save it. The receipt stays with that expense for later checks or your accountant.
  - Keep supplier records: Maintain supplier profiles (and use them on purchase orders) so supplier bills and orders share one contact list.
  - View profit and loss from sales and expenses: Open P&L to see sales against expenses for a period — a simple profit view, not a full general ledger.

### AI
  - Scan a receipt or supplier bill with the camera and have amount, date, VAT, and supplier fields read into a form: In Expenses, choose Scan with AI and take a photo. The amount, date, VAT, supplier and category are read and filled in for you to check before saving; the photo stays attached to the expense.
  - Describe an invoice or quote in plain words and get line items drafted into a form: On a new invoice or quote, use Draft with AI, type what you are billing, and review the suggested line items before you save or send — nothing goes out without your step.
  - Bulk-import products or clients from a photo, WhatsApp screenshot, or pasted list: Photograph a menu, price list, trade licence or business card — or a WhatsApp screenshot — or paste a list. AI extracts products or clients for you to review before anything is saved. Duplicates are flagged, an unverified TRN is highlighted rather than silently accepted, and nothing saves without a price.

### Notifications
  - Get push notifications when a client opens an invoice, one goes overdue, a recurring draft is created, or a VAT filing deadline is near: Enable push notifications on your device. Fatura Go alerts you when a client opens an invoice, when one becomes overdue, when a recurring draft is ready to review, and before a VAT filing deadline so you can act without checking the app constantly.
  - Review a notification feed in the app with per-type controls: The bell in the app keeps a history of recent notifications. In Settings, turn individual notification types on or off so you only hear about what matters.

### Teams and multiple businesses
  - Invite team members with roles and per-permission access: Invite a teammate and assign a role with only the permissions they need — they never get a full-owner login by default.
  - Require owner approval before staff can send a document: Turn on approval workflow so staff submit invoices or quotes as drafts; the owner approves before anything is sent to the client.
  - View an activity log of who changed what: Open the activity log to see who created, edited, or sent documents — useful when several people share one business.
  - Run several businesses from one login: Add another business under the same account and switch between them. Each business keeps its own invoices, clients, and TRN.

### Look and language
  - Choose from four invoice designs: In document design settings, pick one of four themes. New PDFs use that layout until you change it.
  - Set an accent colour on documents: Set your brand accent in design settings; it appears on PDF headers and accents so invoices look like your business.
  - Add a logo, stamp, signature, and custom footer on documents: Upload logo, stamp, and signature and set a footer in branding settings. They print on invoices, quotes, and credit notes you issue afterward.
  - Use the app interface in English, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, or Urdu: Change the interface language in settings. Arabic and Urdu use a full right-to-left layout; the switch applies across web and iPhone.
  - Issue documents in English, Arabic, or bilingual English + Arabic (not Hindi or Urdu): When creating an invoice, quote, or credit note, choose English, Arabic, or bilingual labels. Hindi and Urdu are interface-only — documents stay English, Arabic, or both.

### Account
  - Sign in with Google or Apple: On the register or sign-in screen, continue with Google or Apple to create or open your account without typing a password. Email sign-up remains available.

### Where it runs
  - Use the full product in a web browser: Sign in at the web app — the same full product as on iPhone, with nothing to install.
  - Use the native iPhone app: Install Fatura Go from the App Store and sign in with the same account. Invoices and clients sync with the web app.
  - Invoice in AED, USD, or EUR: Set the currency on the client or on the invoice. Line totals and the PDF use that currency; AED remains the usual default for UAE VAT sales.

### Common tasks (how-to)
- **How do I issue a tax invoice that meets FTA requirements?** Add your business TRN in settings, then create an invoice with the client, line items, and VAT type (usually 5%). Fatura Go includes the FTA-style title, TRNs, VAT breakdown, and totals on the PDF. Send or download when the preview looks right — you are still responsible for confirming the invoice matches your sale.
- **When do I issue a simplified tax invoice instead of a full one?** Use a simplified tax invoice when the customer is not VAT-registered (no TRN) and the supply is AED 10,000 or below — typical for retail and many B2C sales. Use a full tax invoice when the buyer has a TRN or the total is over AED 10,000. Fatura Go picks the type automatically from those rules; check it before you send.
- **How do I issue a credit note?** Open the paid or sent invoice you need to reverse or correct and create a credit note against it. The original invoice stays unchanged; the credit note is a separate numbered tax document. Only after you send the credit note does it reduce the VAT report.
- **How do I send an invoice in Arabic?** When creating the invoice, set the document language to Arabic or bilingual (Arabic + English). Labels on the PDF use Arabic (or both languages); names and descriptions appear as you typed them. Send by email or WhatsApp as usual. The app interface can also be Arabic, which is separate from the document language.
- **How do I set up a recurring invoice?** Open the client (or an invoice you want to repeat), set a recurring interval and start date, and save. Fatura Go creates draft invoices on that schedule for you to review and send — nothing goes to the client until you approve a draft.
- **How do I give my accountant what they need at quarter end?** Export the accountant Excel pack for the tax period: multi-sheet file with invoices, credit notes, expenses, and a VAT summary. Pair it with the in-app VAT report for the same quarter. Fatura Go does not file the VAT return for you — your accountant (or you) still submits via EmaraTax.
- **How do I add someone from my team without giving them everything?** Invite them from team settings and assign a role with only the permissions they need (for example create drafts but not send). Optionally turn on approval so only the owner can release documents. They never need the owner login.
- **How do I let a client see all their invoices in one place?** Open the client and share their private portal link. The client sees their invoices, quotes, and outstanding balance in one place without you emailing each PDF separately.
- **How do I track expenses with receipts?** In Expenses, add an expense with amount, date, and category, and attach the receipt photo or file. You can Scan with AI: photograph the receipt, check the filled fields, then save — the photo stays attached. Expenses show in P&L and in the accountant export.
- **How do I add my products without typing them all in?** Use AI bulk import: photograph a menu, price list, trade licence or business card — or a WhatsApp screenshot — or paste a list. Review the extracted products (or clients) before saving. Duplicates are flagged, an unverified TRN is highlighted rather than silently accepted, and nothing saves without a price.
- **How do I invoice in a currency other than AED?** Set USD or EUR on the client’s preferred currency or on the individual invoice. Line items and the PDF total in that currency. For UAE VAT-registered sales, AED is still the usual choice; use other currencies when the commercial agreement is not in dirhams.

### What it does not do
- No payroll
- No bank reconciliation or bank feeds
- No inventory management
- No corporate tax filing
- UAE e-invoicing under the 2027 mandate is not available yet
- If you need payroll, bank feeds, inventory, or full bookkeeping in one system, use a full accounting suite and keep Fatura Go only if you still want a focused UAE VAT invoice tool alongside it.

- [Do I Need to Register for VAT in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/do-i-need-to-register-for-vat-in-the-uae): Mandatory vs voluntary VAT registration thresholds, what counts toward AED 375,000, late penalties, and how to register via EmaraTax.
- [Should I Register for VAT Voluntarily in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/should-i-register-for-vat-voluntarily-uae): Above AED 187,500 you may register even though you do not have to — and you can qualify on expenses rather than sales. Whether it helps depends almost entirely on who your customers are.
- [How to File a VAT Return in the UAE](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/how-to-file-a-vat-return-in-the-uae): Your VAT return and payment are both due 28 days after your tax period ends. What goes in the form, what the 2026 penalty regime actually says, and what to prepare before you open EmaraTax.
- [VAT 201 Boxes Explained](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/vat-201-boxes-explained-uae): All fourteen boxes on form VAT 201, which ones you fill, which ones EmaraTax fills for you, and the emirate rule that catches first-time filers.
- [Do I Need an Accountant to File VAT in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/do-i-need-an-accountant-to-file-vat-uae): For a simple business, no — the return is arithmetic you can do yourself. Here is where it stops being simple, and what it costs to find out the hard way.
- [Can I Send an Invoice Without VAT Registration in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/can-i-invoice-without-vat-registration-uae): Yes, but you must not charge 5% VAT or call it a tax invoice. What an unregistered UAE business should put on its invoice, and what to tell a client asking for a TRN.
- [How Do I Invoice as a Freelancer in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/how-to-invoice-as-a-freelancer-in-the-uae): Whether you charge VAT, what to put on the invoice if you're registered vs not, and how to get paid on time.
- [Do Freelancers Pay Corporate Tax in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/corporate-tax-for-freelancers-uae): Only above AED 1 million of business turnover — and even then most pay nothing. But the relief that makes it nothing is closing, and it has never been automatic.
- [UAE VAT Invoice Format: Required Fields & Examples](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/vat-invoice-format-uae): The mandatory fields for full and simplified UAE tax invoices, the AED 10,000 rule, and a clear compliant example.

### Invoice types and details
- [Tax Invoice vs Simplified Tax Invoice](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/tax-invoice-vs-simplified-tax-invoice-uae): When to use a full vs simplified tax invoice: the AED 10,000 threshold, B2B vs B2C, and required fields for each.
- [Is a Proforma Invoice a Tax Invoice in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/proforma-invoice-vs-tax-invoice-uae): No — and the reason is simple enough to check in a second. Plus what the numbering rule actually says, which is narrower than the version most guidance repeats.
- [Does a Simplified Tax Invoice Need the Customer's Name? (UAE)](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/does-a-simplified-tax-invoice-need-the-customer-name-uae): No. The Executive Regulation does not require the recipient's name, address or TRN on a simplified tax invoice — even though the FTA's own handbook shows them. What the legal minimum actually is.
- [Supplier Charged VAT But There's No TRN on the Invoice — What Now?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/supplier-charged-vat-no-trn-on-invoice-uae): An invoice with 5% VAT and no supplier TRN is not a valid tax invoice, and the VAT on it cannot be reclaimed. How to check the TRN, what to ask the supplier for, and the AED 10,000 rule that catches people out.
- [Do My Invoices Need to Be in Arabic in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/do-invoices-need-to-be-in-arabic-uae): No. An English-only tax invoice is compliant — there is no language requirement in the invoice rules. But the FTA can require a certified Arabic translation of your records on request, and that is where the cost lands.
- [Can I Invoice in USD Instead of AED in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/invoice-in-usd-instead-of-aed-uae): Yes, you can invoice in any currency. But the VAT amount must be shown in AED, converted at the UAE Central Bank rate on the date of supply — and the rate itself must appear on the invoice.
- [Do I Charge VAT When I Recharge Expenses to a Client?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/recharging-expenses-to-clients-uae): Usually yes — and the reason surprises people. If the supplier's invoice is in your name, passing the cost on is a supply, and 5% applies even when the original cost carried none.
- [Do I Charge VAT on Delivery in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/vat-on-delivery-charges-uae): Usually 5% — but how you show it on the invoice can change the answer. Since a 2024 amendment, itemising delivery separately can strip it of the rate the goods carry.
- [Do I Charge VAT on an Advance Payment or Deposit?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/vat-on-advance-payments-uae): VAT falls due when the money arrives, not when the work is done — and you have 14 days to issue the tax invoice. Unless it is a genuine refundable deposit, which is a different thing entirely.

### Cross-border VAT
- [Do I Charge VAT to a Client Outside the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/do-i-charge-vat-to-a-client-outside-the-uae): Often 0% — but zero-rating is not automatic. The Article 31 conditions, the 30-day rolling presence rule most guides leave out, and why zero-rated still counts toward your registration threshold.
- [Invoicing UAE Clients as a Non-Resident Freelancer](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/invoicing-uae-clients-as-a-non-resident): If your UAE client is VAT registered, you invoice without UAE VAT and they account for it themselves. If they are not, you may have to register — and there is no threshold protecting you.
- [Do I Charge VAT to a Free Zone Company in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/do-i-charge-vat-to-a-free-zone-company-uae): Yes — 5%, if you are supplying services. The designated zone rules apply to goods only, and most of the UAE's best-known free zones are not designated zones at all.
- [Reverse Charge in the UAE — Does It Affect a Small Business?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/reverse-charge-uae-small-business): If you are VAT registered and pay for software, hosting or consulting from abroad, yes. You self-account for 5% as both output and input tax. It usually costs nothing — and omitting it is still a reporting failure.

### Corrections and records
- [I Made a Mistake on a Sent Invoice — Can I Fix It? (UAE)](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/fix-a-mistake-on-a-sent-invoice-uae): You cannot edit or cancel a UAE tax invoice once it is issued. You correct it with a tax credit note, and you have 14 days from the event — not from the invoice date — to issue one.
- [What Happens If You File a UAE VAT Return Late?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/late-vat-return-penalties-uae): AED 1,000 for a first late return, AED 2,000 if it repeats. Late payment is separate and now runs at 14% a year — a rule most published guidance still gets wrong.
- [How Long Must You Keep Invoices in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/how-long-to-keep-invoices-uae): Five years for VAT records — but counted from the end of the tax period, not the invoice date, and seven years if you are also subject to corporate tax. The periods that actually apply.
- [Can I Reclaim VAT on an Invoice My Client Never Paid?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/vat-on-unpaid-invoices-uae): Yes, through bad debt relief — but only after six months from the date of supply, only if you write the debt off, and only if you tell the customer. And it is not a credit note.
- [How Do I Deregister from VAT in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/vat-deregistration-uae): Below AED 187,500 it is not a choice — deregistration is compulsory, with twenty business days to apply. And you may owe VAT on the assets you still hold.
- [What Happens in an FTA Tax Audit?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/fta-tax-audit-what-to-expect-uae): Ten business days' notice, then requests you answer in five to ten. What the FTA actually asks for, what your rights are during it, and the one window that closes the moment the notice arrives.

### E-invoicing
- [UAE E-Invoicing 2026](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/uae-e-invoicing): The Peppol-based rollout explained for small businesses: phased timeline, B2B vs B2C scope, and what to do now.
- [What Is an Accredited Service Provider (ASP)?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/what-is-an-asp-uae-e-invoicing): What an ASP does in UAE e-invoicing, why you need one, appointment deadlines, and how to choose — without naming vendors.
- [UAE Accredited Service Providers (ASP) — Full List, August 2026](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/uae-accredited-service-providers): The 42 fully accredited UAE e-invoicing service providers with their accreditation numbers, plus the 10 still under final assessment. Most published lists confuse the two.
- [How to Choose an Accredited Service Provider](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/how-to-choose-an-asp-uae): Every accredited provider has cleared the same bar, so accreditation tells you who is allowed — not who fits. The questions that separate them, and the one deadline that constrains the decision.
- [Is a PDF Invoice Still Valid in the UAE?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/e-invoice-vs-pdf-invoice-uae): E-invoice vs PDF under the UAE mandate: what counts as a valid e-invoice, when PDFs are still fine, and what changes after your go-live date.
- [What Are Peppol and PINT AE in UAE E-Invoicing?](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/peppol-pint-ae-explained): Peppol, the five-corner model, and PINT AE in plain English — what UAE e-invoicing actually means for freelancers and small businesses.
- [PINT AE Mandatory Fields and Validation Rules](https://invoicefatura.com/guides/pint-ae-mandatory-fields): The UAE e-invoice specification in practical terms — around 51 mandatory fields across six groups, three obligation levels, the code lists, and what actually causes an invoice to be rejected.
