Run every client's VAT quarter from one place.
Ledger is built for firms that look after many SME clients: one portfolio, the same checks on every file, and a clear view of which returns are ready.
The quarter-end problem
What eats a VAT practice's time
Retyping receipts
Hours each quarter spent keying in paper that clients photographed on their phones.
Reviews that depend on who did them
Whether blocked input VAT gets caught varies from one team member to the next.
Deadlines across dozens of clients
Knowing which returns are due, which are ready, and which are stuck — without a spreadsheet.
“Where did this figure come from?”
Finding the source document behind a number months later, when the FTA asks.
What your firm gets
Built around a portfolio, not a single company
One portfolio view
Every client's filing status, due date, document completeness and check results for the selected period — filter to the ones that need action.
Onboard clients in bulk
Add clients one by one or as a batch with TRN and trade licence. Each becomes its own entity under your firm.
VAT registration thresholds
Rolling 12-month taxable sales for every client against AED 375,000 (mandatory) and AED 187,500 (voluntary).
The same checks on every file
Every line of every client runs through the same FTA checks, so review quality doesn't depend on who picks up the file.
A firm-wide filings archive
All VAT 201 returns across clients, from draft to filed, with who prepared them and when they were filed.
Workpapers you can hand over
A box-by-box return summary for client sign-off and a line-level audit workbook with corrections and flags.
Answers in plain language
Ask Arakan Assist what is still to review, which returns are ready or what was handed over for any client. It answers from your firm's own data and the help pages.
Services you can offer
One review of a client's documents. Every service your firm sells, from the same records.
