FTA Tax Audit File (FAF) in TXT format for the United Arab Emirates

  • 아티클

This article includes country/region-specific information about how to set up the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) Tax Audit File (FAF) in TXT format for legal entities that have their primary address in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Note

The FTA VAT Audit File (AE) Electronic reporting (ER) format that uses the Standard Audit File model mapping and the FAF declaration menu item (Tax > Declarations > FAF declaration) is being deprecated and will no longer be supported. A new FTA Tax Audit File - FAF in TXT (AE) ER format that uses the SAF-T General model mapping can be used with the Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T) electronic report. For more information, see Removed or deprecated features in Dynamics 365 Finance.

Prepare your environment to generate a FAF for the UAE

To work with the FAF for the UAE, you must complete the following tasks:

  1. Import ER configurations.
  2. Enable features in Feature management.
  3. Select the ER configuration in General ledger parameters.
  4. Set up company information for the reporting header.

Import ER configurations

Before you generate a FAF for the UAE, import the latest versions of the following ER configurations.

ER configuration name Type Description Recommended version
Standard Audit File (SAF-T) Model The common data model for different audit reports. Any version starting from 164
SAF-T General model mapping Model mapping The model mapping that provides general data source mapping. Any version starting from 164.357
FTA Tax Audit File - FAF in TXT (AE) Format The Federal Tax Authority Audit file for the United Arab Emirates text format. Any version starting from 164.6

For more information about how to download ER configurations, see Download ER configurations from the Global repository.

Import the most recent versions of the configurations. The version description usually includes the number of the Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article that explains the changes that were introduced in the configuration version. Use the Issue search section of the Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services portal to find and read information about specific versions of ER configurations.

Important

After all the ER configurations are imported, set the Default for model mapping option to Yes for the SAF-T General model mapping configuration.

    Feature name Mandatory or optional
    Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T) electronic report Mandatory

Set up company information for the reporting header

The first section of the FAF for the UAE represents the following information about the reporting legal entity:

  • Taxable person name – The name of the taxable person. The value represents the name that's specified in the Taxable person name field on the Legal entities page. For more information, see Configure VAT for a legal entity.
  • TRN – The Tax Registration Number (TRN) of the business user. To report the TRN of the company that's reporting the FAF, the system retrieves the value from the registration ID. The registration ID is defined in the properties of the legal entity that's associated with the VAT ID registration category that's valid on the date that's specified for the To date parameter of the report. For more information, see Registration type and Registration category.
  • Tax agency name, TAN, Tax agent name, and TAAN – The name and Tax Agency Number (TAN) of the tax agency, and the name and Tax Agent Approval Number (TAAN) of the tax agent. These values are required when electronic VAT reports are prepared by a contracted tax agent or vendor. The values are collected from parameters that are set up in the corresponding fields on the Legal entities page. For more information, see Configure VAT for a legal entity.

Special symbols in the value of text fields

A comma (,) is a special symbol in the FAF. If it's used in the value of any text field of the report, it's replaced with a semicolon (;).

If char(10) or char(13) is included in the value of any text field of the FAF, it's excluded for the value in reporting.
