Returns drafted early. Deadlines never missed.
Layla drafts your VAT 201 return box by box, calculates 9% corporate tax with Small Business Relief and QFZP rules, and tracks every FTA deadline.
VAT & corporate tax
Layla maps your books to the VAT 201 boxes as the quarter runs, works out corporate tax with the reliefs you qualify for, and hands you a filing pack for EmaraTax. You review and submit.
Tax work, done before it’s due
VAT 201, box by box: FTA box numbering from 1a–1g by emirate to box 14, and every box drills down to the entries behind it.
Corporate tax at 9%: 0% up to AED 375,000, Small Business Relief, interest limitation and losses brought forward, each step citing its legal reference.
Free zone rules: Qualifying Free Zone Person: 0% on qualifying income, 9% on the rest, with the de minimis test.
Every deadline, one calendar: VAT, corporate tax, WPS, GPSSA, e-invoicing and licence renewals, with penalty exposure if anything slips.
A filing pack for EmaraTax: Export the return in CSV or JSON to key into EmaraTax, plus the FTA Audit File when you’re asked for one.
Daily compliance check: Every morning at 08:00 Layla checks what’s coming due and what’s missing.
