Lesson 7 — The per-Emirate split, and why it is usually wrong at first
Click the triangle beside Standard-rated supplies (per Emirate) and the single line opens into boxes 1a to 1g.
The FTA's rule for which Emirate a supply belongs to is this: for a business with an establishment in the UAE, it is the Emirate of the fixed establishment most closely connected to the supply. For a business not established here, it is the Emirate where the supply was received.
Odoone resolves this from the Emirate (state) recorded on the customer's contact. Where a customer has none, the amount falls to the Default Emirate from Lesson 3.
This produces the single most common complaint about the report: every standard-rated supply lands in one box. It is almost never a report fault. It means your customer contacts have no Emirate set, so every amount is taking the fallback.
The fix is a data fix, in this order:
- Set the state/Emirate on your customer contacts. This is the real repair.
- Choose the correct Default Emirate in UAE Tax Settings, so genuinely unresolvable supplies land somewhere defensible.
- Review Emirate Mapping to confirm each Emirate points at its box.
On the demo you can see it working: three Emirates carry values and four sit at zero, because Gulf Fittings has customers in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah only.
