Business in Sharjah, and the part Aqid ERP plays

Sharjah is the UAE's manufacturing and warehousing emirate: the Industrial Areas, SAIF Zone by the airport and the Hamriyah Free Zone by the port hold factories, packers, assemblers and the warehouses that distribute for Dubai and the northern emirates.

Their books turn on stock in several places and a production line between them: material received into one warehouse, finished goods in another, deliveries out on tax invoices. Aqid ERP keeps each warehouse's stock as its own account that agrees with the ledger, and prepares the VAT return from the invoices and bills.

How a business in Sharjah runs on Aqid ERP

A stock account per warehouse

Each warehouse carries its own inventory account; receive, move, sell or count, and the stock value and cost of sales move with it.

Production at weighted average

A production order consumes material and puts finished goods into stock at their cost; disassembly works in reverse.

Purchases matched to orders

Material orders above your limit wait for a second approver; the supplier's bill is matched to the order and the goods received.

Factory payroll with WPS

Monthly payroll for operators and drivers, the MoHRE SIF file from each run, end of service accrued and bilingual payslips.

A month at a packaging manufacturer in Sharjah (example)

  1. Say a packaging manufacturer in Sharjah invoices AED 720,000.00 of cartons delivered to customers in October, all at the standard rate. That is AED 36,000.00 VAT, AED 756,000.00 in total, on tax invoices issued from Aqid ERP.
  2. A supplier bills AED 410,000.00 plus AED 20,500.00 VAT for paper reels, posted against a purchase order and tagged to the Industrial Area plant.
  3. Payroll for 48 staff runs with a WPS salary file in the MoHRE SIF layout and end-of-service accruals, and its cost is posted to the books from the same run.
  4. The VAT return shows AED 36,000.00 output VAT and AED 20,500.00 input VAT, so AED 15,500.00 to pay before any other purchases. Each box opens to the invoices and bills behind it.
  5. These figures only show the arithmetic. How VAT applies to your supplies is for your tax adviser, set up before you start invoicing.

The parts you will use

Inventory

On Growth and Premium, each warehouse with its own inventory account at weighted average cost, with counts, adjustments and delivery notes.

Purchasing

Purchase orders and supplier bills in any currency, with an approval limit so large orders wait for a second approver.

Sales

Tax invoices in AED or another currency, credit notes, quotes, automatic reminders, and statements by email or WhatsApp.

Payroll

Monthly payroll in AED, a WPS salary file in the MoHRE SIF layout, end-of-service accruals and bilingual payslips.

The rules in the UAE, and what Aqid ERP does with them

VAT: the standard rate is 5%. The return is prepared from the books in the FTA's layout and every figure opens to the invoices and bills behind it; that layout has not yet been checked against the EmaraTax portal, and filing stays with you or your adviser.

Corporate tax: 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. Aqid ERP keeps the IFRS for SMEs statements the return starts from, computes the UAE estimate and records Small Business Relief; whether income is qualifying free-zone income is your adviser's call, and no return is filed.

E-invoicing: the UAE's mandate (2027) runs through accredited service providers. Aqid ERP prepares the signed PINT AE invoice; its connection to a provider is in progress and not yet live.

Payroll: a WPS salary information file in the MoHRE SIF layout, end-of-service accruals under the labour law and payslips in Arabic and English. The UAE pension for national employees is not yet in the table, and no bank has yet accepted an Aqid ERP file.

Questions

Can Aqid ERP keep stock in several Sharjah warehouses?

Yes. Each warehouse has its own inventory account; goods are received into one, moved between them, sold from any, and counted at period end, and the ledger agrees with the stock at every step, at weighted average cost.

Does Aqid ERP compute UAE corporate tax?

As an estimate: 9% above AED 375,000, with Small Business Relief recorded, from the statements it keeps as you work. It files no return, and whether free-zone income qualifies is for your adviser.

Does it produce the WPS file?

Yes, a salary information file in the MoHRE SIF layout from each pay run, with end of service accrued and bilingual payslips. No bank has yet accepted an Aqid ERP file, so have the first one checked by your bank or exchange house.
