For UAE travel agencies, tour operators and corporate travel desks.

Sign up as this kind of business and the books start with the accounts it posts to, beyond the country's chart:
It also sets the invoice terms, whether prices include VAT, and the setup steps that matter for it. You can change it later, and nothing you have is removed.

A hotel in Europe bills in euros, a ground handler in Asia in dollars: each bill is entered in its currency with the day's rate, and the ledger stays in AED. Open balances are revalued at month end, and the difference posts as a currency gain or loss.
Tag the client's invoice and every supplier bill to the trip, the group or the corporate account. Its profit and loss shows the margin you kept after hotels, transport and guides.
Send the package quote by email or WhatsApp; the client opens it and accepts without an account, and the accepted quote becomes the invoice, with a payment link once you connect a payment provider.
Companies that book travel on account get a monthly statement with ageing and automatic email reminders on overdue invoices, so the balance does not drift past the credit terms.
Bills and invoices in any currency with the AED equivalent shown, supplier payments in the supplier's currency and month-end revaluation of open balances. Growth or Premium.
Tag invoices, bills and expenses to a trip, group, season or corporate client, compare against a revenue and cost budget, and run profit and loss per tag.
Quotes, invoices, credit notes for cancellations, payment links once a payment provider is connected, automatic reminders, statements and ageing, by email or WhatsApp.
Supplier bills with an approval limit in AED, so a large hotel commitment waits for a second approver, and approved payments released in one batch with a payment file for your bank.
Monthly payroll in AED for consultants and back office, the WPS SIF salary file, end-of-service gratuity and expiry notices for passports, residence visas and work permits.
Bank and card statements imported as files and reconciled line by line, foreign-currency accounts next to the AED ones, so payments abroad match the bills they settle.
VAT on travel depends on what you sell, as principal or as agent, and where each part is supplied. This page does not set out a VAT treatment for travel services: agree yours with your tax adviser before you start invoicing, and we will help you set up your items and tax codes to match. Input VAT at 5% on local bills is collected as you post them, and the VAT 201 is laid out from the ledger for you to enter on EmaraTax.
Invoices to companies are business invoices under the UAE e-invoicing mandate. Aqid ERP signs each one as PINT AE XML today; an agency under AED 50M of revenue appoints an accredited service provider by 31 March 2027 and sends through it from 1 July 2027. Aqid ERP's connection to a provider is not yet live, and it is not a provider itself.
The exclusions announced so far include international passenger flights with e-tickets. Whether, and how, that reaches tickets an agency sells is a question for your adviser and the FTA, not something Aqid ERP decides for you.

Yes. Tag the client invoice and all supplier bills to a project for the trip or group and run its profit and loss.
That depends on what you sell and where it is supplied, and this page does not answer it. Agree the treatment with your tax adviser; our team will set up your items and tax codes to match it.
Invoices to businesses are in scope: from 1 July 2027 for an agency under AED 50M, after appointing an accredited service provider by 31 March 2027. Aqid ERP signs each invoice as PINT AE XML now; transmission is not yet live. Confirm your dates with the FTA.
No. Keep your reservation system for bookings and tickets, and use Aqid ERP for invoices, supplier bills, VAT and payroll.
Issue a credit note tied to the original invoice. It reduces what the client owes, and for a business client it falls under the same e-invoicing dates as the invoice.
Set up for the UAE's rules from the first day.
