What ZyroBooks does not do
ZyroBooks prepares your figures. It does not file on the FTA portal for you and it does not give tax advice. Check with your adviser which UAE tax rules apply to your business.

Does ZyroBooks file my VAT return with the FTA?
No. It prepares the VAT201 figures, and you or your adviser file them on the FTA portal.
Does it support UAE e-invoicing?
Not yet. Our features page lists what is planned.
Can I keep books in AED and another currency?
Yes. Multi-currency accounting with automatic exchange gain and loss is part of the Growth plan.
