Is SoloBooks right for my business?

Made for

  • Companies based in the UAE, including companies with a single shareholder.
  • Small companies that can use Small Business Relief: income of 3,000,000 AED or less in the tax year and in every earlier one, for tax years ending by 31 December 2029.
  • Owners who want their receipts in order and file their own Corporate Tax return on EmaraTax.

Working as an individual (freelancer, sole establishment)?

  • Corporate Tax applies to your business only if its turnover goes over 1,000,000 AED in a calendar year (Cabinet Decision 49 of 2023).
  • SoloBooks and its calculators are designed for companies: the year-end summary and the filing guide follow a company’s tax year. You can still keep your receipts and follow the VAT limits, but check the FTA guidance for individuals before you file.

Get professional help if

  • your income went over 3,000,000 AED this tax year or in an earlier one: the full return needs financial statements and adjustments that SoloBooks does not prepare;
  • your business uses the free zone 0% rate (Qualifying Free Zone Person);
  • you made a loss and want to use it in later years;
  • your business is not based in the UAE: different rules apply.

Why SoloBooks

1

Keep control, file yourself

You review and approve every entry. You submit your own return on EmaraTax with our step-by-step guide. Nobody acts in your name.

2

AI fills in the details, from 349 AED a year

AI reads date, supplier or client, amount, VAT and category. You correct in a tap if needed. Solo is 99 AED a month; Plus is 179 AED a month, or 1,790 AED a year (149.17 AED a month).

3

Time-stamped evidence pack

Every document, correction and approval is time-stamped. Export a zip of your files with a CSV of entries at any time.

4

Clear prices, visibility all year

Published fixed prices. A live dashboard of revenue, expenses and your distance to the 3M AED Small Business Relief and 375k AED VAT thresholds.

How it works

  1. Photo or PDF from your phone, or simply send it on WhatsApp
  2. AI proposes date, amount, VAT, category, revenue or expense
  3. You review, correct and approve
  4. Year-end summary + guide: you file on EmaraTax

What is automatic, what you do

Done automatically

  • Reading each photo or PDF: date, supplier or client, total, VAT, category, revenue or expense. It is a suggestion, never final.
  • A note when a receipt looks personal rather than business.
  • Totals from your approved entries: dashboard, Small Business Relief (3M AED) and VAT (375k AED) gauges, and the quarterly VAT recap on Plus.
  • Year-end summary (PDF/CSV) and evidence pack (a zip of your files with a CSV of entries), built from approved entries only.

Done by you

  • Adding your documents in the app, or by WhatsApp once your number is linked.
  • Checking each suggestion, correcting it if needed, and approving it. Nothing counts in your totals before you approve.
  • Typing the details yourself for a scanned PDF or a document the AI cannot read.
  • Filing your Corporate Tax return (and any VAT return) yourself on EmaraTax, with the step-by-step guide.

Not done by SoloBooks

  • No filing or payment with the FTA on your behalf.
  • No tax advice: general information only.
  • No financial statements or full return for companies above 3,000,000 AED.
  • No bank connection: documents only. Email forwarding is not available yet.

Worked example

You photograph a receipt for 1,050 AED including VAT. The AI suggests: total 1,050 AED, VAT 50 AED (at the UAE 5% rate, 1,050 × 5/105 = 50), a category, expense. You check the two amounts against the receipt and approve. The entry (1,050 AED, of which 50 AED VAT) then counts in your dashboard and year-end figures. Amounts are not recalculated for you: what you approve is what counts.

From 349 AED / year, VAT included. Free during the beta: payments are not open yet.

Frequently asked questions

Does SoloBooks submit my tax return?

No. SoloBooks is software. You submit your own return on EmaraTax. SoloBooks gives you the figures from your approved entries and a step-by-step guide.

Is this tax advice?

No. Everything on this site and in the app is general information, not tax advice. Check the official Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and Ministry of Finance sources for your own situation.

What happens after the free month?

You pick a plan. While payments are not open (beta), picking a plan keeps SoloBooks free for you. No card is asked at sign-up. If you do not pick one, your data stays readable and exportable; adding new documents pauses.

Does AI decide for me?

No. AI only suggests. Nothing counts in your totals until you approve it, and every change is logged.
