Tax Tools for Pakistan FBR, UK HMRC,
Saudi ZATCA, UAE FTA & India GST
ZyroBooks handles complex local tax rules so you don’t have to. Built-in tax tools for eight major jurisdictions with automated calculations, e-invoicing and filing-ready outputs — all from one multi-currency ledger.
One ledger. Eight tax regimes.
Most accounting platforms force global businesses into generic tax templates. ZyroBooks was built with tax tools for the countries where multi-currency SMEs actually operate. Whether you need FBR e-invoicing with QR codes, HMRC Making Tax Digital returns, ZATCA VAT returns, or India GST splits — the rules live inside the product, not in spreadsheets.
Every transaction posts once. Tax ledgers, reports and export files stay in agreement by design. Compare us with Zoho Books, QuickBooks and Xero.

Tax tools FAQs
Does ZyroBooks support FBR e-invoicing in Pakistan?
ZyroBooks prepares FBR-ready invoice data and calculates sales tax and statutory payroll for Pakistani businesses. Submission to FBR goes through your own approved FBR integrator; ZyroBooks is not itself an FBR integrator.
Is ZyroBooks compatible with HMRC Making Tax Digital?
ZyroBooks keeps digital VAT records, produces the 9-box figures and a CSV, and prepares your VAT return. Direct submission to HMRC has passed testing, and live submission opens when HMRC approves our production access. Until then, use the CSV with HMRC-recognised software or your accountant.
Does it support the Saudi ZATCA VAT return?
Yes. ZyroBooks produces the Saudi ZATCA VAT return from your sales and purchases. ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing is supported, including onboarding, signing and reporting.
Can I handle multiple countries in one company or multiple companies?
Yes. Growth and higher plans support multiple companies and multi-currency ledgers, so regional groups can keep separate entities while using the same platform.
Is this a good alternative to QuickBooks or Zoho Books for international tax?
If you need FBR, ZATCA, HMRC and GST tools together with true multi-currency accounting, ZyroBooks is built specifically for that use case. See vs Zoho and vs QuickBooks.
