Built for the Modern UAE Tax Landscape
The introduction of Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017 on Value Added Tax and Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses has transformed accounting compliance in the United Arab Emirates. Businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across all seven Emirates can no longer rely on informal spreadsheets or basic invoicing tools.
LedgerMapz delivers an enterprise-grade cloud accounting platform aligned with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) guidelines. From standard-rated 5% VAT to zero-rated exports, exempt supplies, designated free zone transactions, and 9% corporate tax calculations, LedgerMapz automates compliance so founders and CFOs can focus on strategic business growth.
