UAE VAT filing software that prepares VAT 201 for you
As you invoice and record expenses, ETX builds your FTA-ready VAT 201 return in the background — accurate, bilingual, and ready to review.
VAT 201 returns, prepared automatically
VAT filing software for the UAE should do one thing exceptionally well: turn your day-to-day bookkeeping into an accurate, FTA-ready VAT 201 return without hours of manual spreadsheet work. ETX — a product of KWS Fintech Services — does exactly that. As you invoice customers and record expenses, ETX builds your VAT return in the background, so when the period closes your VAT 201 figures are ready to review and submit.
What ETX VAT filing software does
ETX is built around UAE VAT rules, so the return reflects the FTA's structure rather than a generic template adapted for the region.
Automatic VAT 201 preparation
Every tax invoice and expense you record is mapped to the correct VAT 201 box — standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt, reverse-charge and imports — so your return assembles itself as you work.
Input and output VAT tracked in real time
See your net VAT position at any moment, not just at period end. ETX separates recoverable input VAT from output VAT automatically.
Deadline reminders
ETX knows your assigned VAT period and reminds you before each return is due, so filings are not missed.
Full audit trail
Every figure on the return traces back to a source transaction — essential if the FTA ever queries a return.
Why UAE businesses choose ETX for VAT

- Bilingual tax invoices in English and Arabic.
- Izza AI assistant explains VAT boxes and rules in plain language.
- Managed filing available — if you'd rather not file yourself, the KWS advisory team can review and submit the return for you.
- Built for UAE e-invoicing Phase 1, integrating with an FTA-listed Accredited Service Provider (ASP) as the mandate rolls out.
Preparation vs submission
To be clear about what the software does: ETX prepares and generates your VAT 201 return from your books and is designed around FTA requirements. ETX itself is not an FTA-accredited tax agent. If you want the return actually submitted to the FTA on your behalf, that is a managed service handled by the KWS advisory practice — real people on our tax team review and file it for you. You always stay in control of what gets submitted.
Common questions
What is VAT filing software?
VAT filing software prepares your UAE VAT return (Form VAT 201) from your bookkeeping data — pulling sales, purchases, output and input VAT into the correct boxes so the return is accurate and ready to submit to the FTA. ETX generates FTA-ready VAT 201 figures automatically from your invoices and expenses.
Does ETX file my VAT return to the FTA automatically?
ETX prepares and generates your VAT 201 return from your books. It is designed around FTA requirements. ETX is not an FTA-accredited tax agent; if you want the return submitted for you, the KWS advisory practice offers managed VAT filing as a service — the KWS team reviews and files it on your behalf.
How does ETX help avoid VAT return errors?
Because the return is built directly from your recorded transactions, common manual errors — transposed figures, missed input VAT, wrong tax codes — are reduced. ETX keeps an audit trail of every entry, and the Izza AI assistant can answer questions about specific boxes as you review.
Can ETX handle quarterly and monthly VAT periods?
Yes. ETX supports the VAT return periods the FTA assigns to your business, and tracks deadlines so you get reminders before each filing is due.
Is there free VAT software for small UAE businesses?
ETX offers a free tier for small businesses (first 10 invoices per month). VAT 201 preparation is part of the platform; paid plans start at AED 99/month. See the pricing page for current details.
