Accounting and VAT software for Sharjah
Sharjah is where the UAE actually makes things. The industrial areas are full of small manufacturers and fabricators who sell into Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which means a costing problem and an inter-emirate VAT question in the same business — and the emirate on the invoice decides which box the supply lands in.
| Emirate | Invoices | Taxable AED | VAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharjah | 84 | 418,600.00 | 20,930.00 |
| Dubai | 112 | 684,200.00 | 34,210.00 |
| Abu Dhabi | 38 | 241,800.00 | 12,090.00 |
| Ajman | 22 | 96,400.00 | 4,820.00 |
What Sharjah businesses use it for
Emirate-wise supply reporting
Box 1 of the VAT 201 splits by the emirate of supply, taken from the invoice rather than from where you are registered.
Manufacturing costing
Bills of material with sub-assemblies, production runs, wastage split into normal and abnormal, and a real cost per unit.
Job work to and from Dubai
Material sent for finishing stays on your books at the other party’s premises and is reconciled on return.
Industrial-area warehouses
Stock across more than one unit, each holding its own quantity with transfers that post documents.
Multi-currency purchasing
Raw material bought in USD or EUR, sold in AED, with the exchange difference on the ledger.
Labour-heavy payroll
Shift rosters, unpaid breaks and document expiry reminders for a workforce where a lapsed labour card stops production.
Questions from Sharjah businesses
Does the emirate on my invoice affect the VAT return?
Yes — box 1 of the VAT 201 is reported emirate by emirate, based on the place of supply. tBiz takes it from the invoice, so a Sharjah manufacturer selling into Dubai reports that supply against Dubai rather than against its own registration emirate.
Can tBiz cost a manufactured product?
Yes, through a bill of materials with sub-assemblies, production vouchers that consume components and receive finished goods, and wastage split into normal and abnormal so a bad run shows as a loss rather than inflating your unit cost.
How is material sent to a finisher in Dubai handled?
As job work — it goes out on a challan, stays your stock at their premises, and what comes back is reconciled against what went out.
Can I hold stock in several industrial units?
Yes, each as its own warehouse, with transfers between them posting documents rather than adjustments.
