Pricing

Published, not quoted. Two axes: what you pay once depends on the size of your master data, what you pay monthly depends on how many invoices you issue.

Why this page exists. In July 2026 we opened the public pricing pages of all forty-two pre-approved service providers in the UAE and recorded what each one showed. Two published a price; the rest asked for an enquiry. That is a note of what was visible on those dates, not a claim about what any of them charges — pages change, and several of these will have changed since. We publish ours so you can weigh scope against cost before spending time on a call.

The diagnostic is free because it is a measurement, not a service. It tells you the size of the job. Whether you then hand the job to us, to your accountant, or to your own finance team is your decision and all three are legitimate.

Onboarding — paid once

Priced by the size of your master data, because that is what determines the work.

ComponentUnit PriceWhat it covers
Configuration baseper entityAED 6,000 Transaction types configured from decisions you or your adviser have confirmed, and documented; tax categories applied as confirmed; mandatory fields mapped, a rehearsal run of your real data through the official schematrons
Item classificationper 100 itemsAED 1,200 HS and SAC codes against your catalogue, each with a confidence level; anything uncertain is flagged rather than guessed
Counterparty clean-upper 100 counterparties AED 900 Formats corrected, duplicates merged, countries of registration filled, malformed tax numbers identified
Tax number campaignper 100 counterparties AED 1,500 We write to your counterparties in your name, chase the non-responders, parse what comes back, and report who never answered

A typical mid-size company — 400 catalogue items, 250 counterparties — comes to roughly AED 6,000 + 4,800 + 2,250 + 3,750 = AED 16,800 once. You can take any component on its own; most companies do not need all four.

The campaign is the one people underestimate. Collecting tax numbers from your own suppliers and customers is not a technical problem — it is four to six weeks of correspondence, reminders and chasing, and it cannot be compressed by working harder. It is usually the item that decides whether a programme finishes on time.

Subscription — paid monthly

Priced by invoice volume, because that reflects what the service is worth to you rather than what it costs us.

TierInvoices per month MonthlyAnnual, paid upfront Included in the monthly review
Basicup to 50AED 400 AED 4,000 Monthly report on what was submitted, accepted, queried and is awaiting resubmission. Classification of new catalogue items, returned within five business days of your monthly extract, up to one new catalogue item per two invoices in your tier — 25 items a month on Basic, 250 on Large. Checking of new counterparty records on the same cycle, up to the same allowance. We review each published specification release and tell you what it changes for you within ten business days of its publication. Analysis of rejections and the corrections that follow from them.

Volumes above your tier, one-off remediation of a backlog, and anything requiring a tax position we have not already implemented are quoted separately. We work UAE business hours and do not offer an out-of-hours service.
Smallup to 200AED 800 AED 8,000
Mediumup to 1,000AED 1,600 AED 16,000
Largeup to 5,000AED 3,500 AED 35,000

What is included

Not supervision. Your master data does not stand still: every item added after onboarding and every new counterparty is the same work again, one at a time. A company adding twenty items a month is back where it started within a year if nobody is handling it.

The monthly report measures exactly that, in your own numbers — for example, "47 items added this quarter, 29 of them without a code". If that number is ever zero for several months running, cancel. We would rather you left than paid for nothing.

Is this expensive?

A fair way to judge it. Cabinet Decision 106 of 2025 carries three recurring penalties, each capped at AED 5,000 a month: failing to implement at all, invoices not issued electronically, and credit notes not issued electronically. If all three cap out, that is AED 15,000 a month — AED 180,000 a year — before the daily notification penalties of AED 1,000 are counted. A company issuing no credit notes faces AED 120,000.

The Medium subscription at AED 16,000 a year is 9% of the full ceiling, or 13% of the narrower one. If our price were approaching either ceiling, you should decline it. But penalty ceilings are not an alternative to compliance: rejected documents also delay collection, cost effort to remediate and weaken your tax evidence, and the daily notification penalties are not capped at all.

One thing worth knowing before you spend anything. Article 2(2) of that decision excludes voluntary issuers from the penalty regime entirely. If you go live before your mandatory date, the penalties do not apply to you during that window. That is a strong argument for starting early, and it is an argument for starting early with anyone — not necessarily with us.

What we do not do

Not usWho does it
Transmitting your invoices An accredited service provider. There are forty-two on the Ministry's list. Note that the list is titled pre-approved, which under Ministerial Decision 64 of 2025 is the Article 15 stage; full accreditation under Article 16 requires separate testing and providers are at different points. Ask any provider you shortlist for their accreditation number and check it against the register.
Signing off contested tax positions A qualified tax adviser. Twenty-five of the thirty-two operation types in our library carry that flag, and we say so in writing rather than quietly forming a view.
Modifying your accounting system Your implementation partner. We return a field mapping and a list of what has to change; making those changes in the system is theirs. Do not assume the fields exist. Several ERPs used in the UAE have no service accounting code field at all, and in those cases a connector, a template change or a master-data extension is part of the work — which is why we say what is needed rather than promise it will fit.
