The challenges of running a retail or hospitality business in The UAE

E-invoicing readiness (phased rollout)

UAE e-invoicing is moving toward phased rollout with pilots starting mid-2026 and broader enforcement after. Systems must be prepared for compliant electronic invoice exchange and reporting.

VAT discipline (5%)

UAE VAT at 5% must be applied correctly on all invoices and receipts, with clean and auditable trails. Errors in VAT handling lead to penalties, failed audits, and operational disruption.

Hospitality & tourism tax stacking

Operations inside hotels and touristic venues often require stacked taxes and charges. For example, a restaurant inside a hotel may need to apply: 5% VAT, +7% municipality tax, +10% food service charge. These must be calculated per item, per location, and per legal entity, then reported separately and transparently.

Multiple fiscal regimes, one brand

The same brand may operate under different fiscal rules across locations, venues, or legal entities. Systems must support multiple tax environments running in parallel — without breaking reporting, loyalty, or auditability.

Arabic and English reality

Operational UI must support bilingual environments cleanly. Both staff and customers expect seamless Arabic and English interfaces.

Tourist-heavy operations

Multi-language staff and customer-facing flows matter in The UAE's international environment. Systems must handle diverse customer expectations efficiently.

How Yakuma solves UAE retail and hospitality challenges

E-invoicing preparation

Implementation as a compliance layer, not a replatforming event. When UAE e-invoicing requirements go live, Yakuma will be ready without disruption.

Correct VAT handling

5% VAT applied correctly with complete audit trails. Clean, compliant invoices and receipts for every transaction.

Stacked taxes handled natively

VAT, municipality taxes, and service charges configured per item, per location, and per entity. Calculated correctly, printed transparently, and reported separately — ready for audit at any time.

Unified operations, separate fiscal regimes

Run multiple tax environments under the same brand without duplicating systems. Loyalty, reporting, and customer data stay unified while each location follows its own fiscal rules.
