Suppliers and purchase Bills in supported AED-base organisations on zoho.com. Foreign-currency bills use the exchange rate recorded in Zoho. Sync runs when you request it; it does not write back to Zoho. Supporting files are added separately. The current review workflow focuses on UAE suppliers charging VAT; importing records does not complete the required checks.

Decision 13 requires checks and evidence before input VAT recovery, subject to its exceptions. Get your process ready for 1 October.
Verify who you’re buying from and review each supply where required.
Record the checks and keep supporting documents. An invoice is only the starting point.
The FTA can deny input VAT on supplies linked to tax evasion if you knew or should have known.
Under Article 54(bis), missing the required verification can trigger the “should have known” rule where supplies are linked to tax evasion. This concerns input VAT on the affected supplies, not automatic loss of all VAT.
Decision 13 includes an exception for supplies below AED 10,000 excluding VAT, unless the supplier total exceeds AED 100,000 over the previous 12 months or is expected to exceed it over the next 12 months.
