Accounting software for UAE trading companies
Inventory, multi-currency and VAT on imports, exports and reverse charge — ETX keeps a trading business's stock and tax accurate.
Accounting software for trading companies in the UAE
Trading and import-export is the classic UAE business — and it has specific accounting needs: real inventory tracking, multiple currencies, and VAT on imports, exports and reverse charge that has to be handled correctly on the return. Accounting software for a UAE trading company has to do all three. ETX — a product of KWS Fintech Services — combines inventory, multi-currency invoicing and UAE import/export VAT so traders keep stock and tax accurate.
What makes trading accounting different
Import and export VAT
Exports outside the GCC are generally zero-rated, while imports are typically accounted for under reverse charge through the VAT return rather than paid at the border. Getting this right on the VAT 201 is essential — ETX applies the correct treatment.
Inventory and cost of goods
For a trader, margin is everything. ETX tracks stock levels, landed cost and movement, so you see inventory value and gross margin clearly.
Multi-currency
Buying in USD, selling in AED or EUR is normal. ETX handles multi-currency transactions while reporting VAT in dirhams.
High supplier and customer volume
Traders deal with many counterparties. ETX keeps supplier bills, customer invoices and payments organised at volume.

- Inventory tracking with cost and margin visibility.

Common questions
What accounting software is best for a UAE trading company?
Trading and import-export businesses need inventory management, multi-currency, and correct VAT on imports, exports and reverse charge. ETX handles inventory, multi-currency invoicing and UAE import/export VAT so traders keep stock and tax accurate.
How does VAT work on imports and exports in the UAE?
Exports of goods outside the GCC are generally zero-rated; imports are subject to VAT, often accounted for under the reverse-charge mechanism via the VAT return rather than paid at the border. ETX records imports and exports with the right VAT treatment, including reverse charge.
Does ETX handle inventory for a trading business?
Yes. ETX tracks stock levels, purchase costs and stock movement, so a trading company sees inventory value and margin alongside its VAT.
Can ETX invoice in multiple currencies?
Yes. Trading businesses often buy and sell in different currencies; ETX supports multi-currency transactions while keeping your VAT reporting in AED.
