Best Accounting Software for UAE Businesses in 2026
Finding the right accounting software for your UAE business is crucial for maintaining compliance with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations while streamlining your financial operations.
Why UAE Businesses Need Specialized Accounting Software
The United Arab Emirates has specific tax regulations that require businesses to maintain accurate financial records. With the introduction of VAT in 2018 and Corporate Tax in 2023, companies operating in the UAE must ensure their accounting systems can handle:
- Value Added Tax (VAT) at the standard 5% rate
- Corporate Tax at 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000
- Free Zone company requirements and Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) status
- EmaraTax portal submissions and FTA compliance reporting
