Anchor it to the client
A service reads a date from the client record itself, such as the VAT due date or the licence expiry, rather than a date you retype per client.
For tax firms
Built for the practice, not the taxpayer
Almost every tax and accounting tool in this market is sold to the business that owes the tax: one entity, one set of books, one deadline. A practice has a different problem, which is two hundred entities, two hundred sets of dates, and one team answerable for all of them. This page is about that difference, and about the part AudiTax does not do.
Two different jobs, two different tools
| Software for the taxpayer | Software for the practice |
|---|---|
| One company's books, one VAT return, one calendar. | Every client's obligations on one calendar, with the ones closest to due at the top. |
| Deadlines you remember because they are yours. | Deadlines generated from each client's own dates, because nobody remembers two hundred. |
| Documents filed wherever the owner put them. | A client file per client, with KYC, an activity trail, and a record of who changed what. |
| You are the only user. | A team with roles, where the question of who could see a client's records has an answer. |
How the deadlines actually get made
You define a service once, VAT Filing, Corporate Tax or Audit, and say where its date comes from: a field on the client record, plus an offset. AudiTax works out which clients that service applies to, generates the obligation for each of them, and rolls the date forward when a cycle closes so the next one is already there.
01 02 Apply it conditionally
A service can require a flag on the client to be true, so VAT work appears only for VAT-registered clients and audit work only where audit is engaged.
03 Let it roll forward
When a cycle completes, the next anchor is written back to the client record, so the client form and the schedule cannot disagree about when the next one is due.
04 Get told before it hurts
A daily sweep raises alerts as dates approach. Anything three days out or closer earns its own notification instead of waiting for the morning digest.
Included out of the box
- VAT Filing
- Corporate Tax
- Audit
- License Renewal
- Establishment Card
- Monthly Accounting
Six service definitions ship seeded, and you can define your own. Confirm each against your clients' actual obligations: a seeded definition is a starting point, not tax advice.
Where the boundary is
AudiTax is the layer your practice runs on. It is not the ledger your client keeps.
- It is not accounting or bookkeeping software, and it is not an ERP. If you need a general ledger, you still need one.
- It does not file returns. A person submits everything, every time.
- It does not judge a tax position. Whether a treatment is right stays with the firm.
Common questions
Accounting software keeps one company’s books: its ledger, its invoices, its VAT return. Practice management software runs the firm that keeps those books for many companies: which client has a return due, who owns the work, what evidence is on file, and what has been billed. They solve different problems, and most UAE firms run both.
Their software manages one company’s books. AudiTax manages your book of clients: every entity you act for, the obligations each one carries, and the work your team owes against them.
Yes, if you do bookkeeping. AudiTax is not a ledger and not an ERP. It does not replace Zoho Books, Tally, QuickBooks or Xero; it sits above whatever your clients use and runs the practice around them.
Yes. Six definitions ship seeded: VAT Filing, Corporate Tax, Audit, License Renewal, Establishment Card and Monthly Accounting. Paid plans let you add your own, with their own anchor field, offset and cycle. Confirm each against your clients’ actual obligations, because a seeded definition is a starting point, not tax advice.
A service anchors to a date already on the client record, such as the VAT due date or the licence expiry, rather than a date you retype per client. It can require a flag to be true, so VAT work appears only for VAT-registered clients. When a cycle completes the next anchor is written back to the client record, and a daily sweep raises alerts as dates approach.
No. Access is scoped by role, and there are two roles on purpose: Admin and Staff. A firm has exactly one administrator, and every record carries an activity trail showing who changed what and when.
Neither. It does not submit anything to the FTA and does not judge whether a treatment is right. A qualified person at your firm files, and the technical judgement stays with the firm. What AudiTax does is make sure the obligation is never the thing that gets missed.
The Free plan covers 20 clients, one staff seat and the full compliance engine, so a solo practice can run a real client end to end before paying anything. The paid plans buy capacity and the rest of the toolkit, not a different calendar.
