VAT is live across the GCC.
Is your ERP keeping up?
VAT compliance is not a one-time configuration — it is an ongoing operational requirement. Zerone HiTech configures and maintains Dynamics 365 to meet VAT obligations across the GCC, ensuring your system produces compliant returns, manages VAT payable and receivable accurately, and supports audit requirements.
VAT Is Established. The Compliance Challenge Is Ongoing.
VAT has been live in Saudi Arabia and the UAE since 2018, with rates and regulations evolving since then. For businesses operating across multiple GCC jurisdictions, managing VAT correctly requires more than a one-time ERP configuration — it requires a system that is properly set up, correctly maintained, and supported by staff who understand their VAT obligations.
Many organisations implemented VAT configuration hastily when the deadline arrived. Years later, those configurations have accumulated errors, workarounds, and gaps — producing VAT returns that don’t reconcile cleanly and creating audit exposure.
Zerone HiTech’s VAT compliance service addresses both new implementations and existing configurations that need review — ensuring your Dynamics 365 system handles VAT correctly, produces clean returns, and supports the documentation requirements of a regulatory audit.
End-to-End VAT Compliance in Dynamics 365
VAT Readiness Assessment
A thorough review of your existing Dynamics 365 VAT configuration — identifying incorrect tax codes, missing setups, reconciliation gaps, and process weaknesses. Produces a documented gap analysis and remediation plan.
D365 VAT Configuration
Correct configuration of VAT in Dynamics 365 — tax codes, tax groups, posting profiles, withholding tax, reverse charge mechanisms, and exemption handling — aligned to the specific VAT rules of each jurisdiction you operate in.
GCC Localisation
Dynamics 365 localisation for GCC VAT requirements — including Saudi Arabia (ZATCA e-invoicing compliance), UAE VAT, and Bahrain VAT — ensuring your system meets the specific technical and reporting requirements of each jurisdiction.
VAT Return Preparation
Configuring Dynamics 365 to produce accurate VAT return data — reconciled against the General Ledger and supporting the preparation of compliant VAT returns without manual intervention or spreadsheet adjustments.
Contract & Transaction Review
Review of existing contracts and intercompany transactions to identify VAT obligations, ensure correct treatment in the system, and address any historical errors before they surface on audit.
Staff Training & Awareness
Role-based VAT training for finance teams, accounts payable and receivable staff, and procurement — ensuring every user understands their VAT responsibilities and applies them correctly in their daily transactions.
Audit Documentation
Structuring transaction documentation and audit trails in Dynamics 365 to meet regulatory requirements — ensuring that when an authority requests supporting evidence, it is available, complete, and correctly attributed.
Ongoing Compliance Support
Monitoring VAT regulation changes across GCC jurisdictions and ensuring your Dynamics 365 configuration keeps pace — particularly relevant as ZATCA requirements evolve and new e-invoicing mandates are introduced.
