Add your purchase list, get a fixed price, and leave the rest to us. We check your suppliers, chase their documents and hand you a report your tax adviser can work with.

From AED 990, fixed. Ready in minutes, no card needed to look around.

  • No sales meeting needed
  • Fixed price before you pay
  • We chase your suppliers

WHY NOW

A valid tax invoice is no longer enough.

Since 1 October 2026, FTA Decision No. 13 expects UAE businesses to check their suppliers — and keep a record of those checks — before deducting input VAT. We do the checking and the record-keeping for you.

FTA Decision No. 13 of 2026, explained · Which suppliers you must verify

AED 10,000

Supplies below AED 10,000 (excl. VAT) may be left out…

AED 100,000

…unless that supplier passes AED 100,000 over the previous or next 12 months.

AED 375,000

Above AED 375,000 per supplier: enhanced checks, including a UAE bank confirmation.

Summary of the Decision, based on the FTA’s English translation; the Arabic text prevails. Not tax advice.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. All online.

No sales meeting and no email ping-pong. You stay in control from your portal.

  1. 01
    Check your price

    Two numbers, twenty seconds. No account needed.

  2. 02
    Create your account

    Register your company and connect Xero, Zoho Books or Wafeq — or add your purchase list as an Excel or CSV export from any accounting software.

  3. 03
    Pay and let go

    Pay your fixed price online. We request the documents straight from your suppliers.

  4. 04
    Follow along, then download

    Watch every check move in your portal. Download your verification report when it is done.

INCLUDED IN EVERY PACKAGE

We chase your suppliers. You don’t.

Collecting documents is the slowest part of supplier verification. So we do it for you.

One request per supplier

Each supplier gets one clear request from us, on your behalf, with a secure upload link. They don’t need an account.

Two automatic reminders

Nothing back yet? We remind them after 3 and 7 working days. You don’t lift a finger.

You see progress, not paperwork

Your portal shows who has responded. You only hear from us when something can only come from you.

Still no answer after both reminders?

We give them 3 more working days. Only then do we ask you, once, how to continue. You choose: our team follows up personally (from AED 750 for up to 5 suppliers), you contact the supplier yourself, or we finish with the gap clearly reported. Nothing is added without your approval.

We only contact your suppliers after you authorise it when you order. Prefer to do it yourself? Switch it off in your portal.

DOCUMENTS

What you provide. What you get back.

You give us one purchase list. We ask your suppliers for the rest and turn it into a documented report.

FROM YOU

  • Your purchase list: connect Xero, Zoho Books or Wafeq, or upload an Excel or CSV export with supplier, TRN, invoice number, date and amount
  • Supplier email addresses, if your list does not have them
  • Documents only you hold, such as purchase orders, contracts or payment records — only where a check needs them
  • Your verification policy, if you have one (we note it as an open point if not)

FROM YOUR SUPPLIERS — WE ASK THEM

  • ID of the person authorised to sign for the supplier
  • Two yes/no questions on address and key-contact changes
  • Their trade licence — only if the official company register cannot confirm the registration (we check the register first)
  • A UAE bank confirmation letter, for suppliers above AED 375,000
  • Delivery or origin documents for goods, where relevant

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

  • A summary of scope, method, results and limitations
  • A file per supplier: checks, evidence, conclusion and reviewer
  • An evidence index and an exceptions register with follow-up actions
  • Excel/CSV exports for your records and your tax adviser

The full list per check is in our supplier verification checklist.

ONLY IF YOU NEED IT

Personal supplier follow-up · from AED 750

AFTER YOUR FIRST PROJECT

Supplier monitoring · from AED 299 a month

Monitor 25: AED 299 · Monitor 50: AED 599 · Monitor 100: AED 999 a month. Built for businesses with around 25+ suppliers or a ledger that changes every month.

Included in every package

  • Supplier checks under Decision 13: registration, trade licence, authorised signatory and place of business
  • Enhanced checks above AED 375,000: UAE bank confirmation and public-information review
  • Purchase and payment review of the supplies in scope
  • Document requests to your suppliers, with two automatic reminders
  • Exceptions followed up and documented
  • A full verification report with evidence index and exports
  • 12 months of free reminders afterwards: re-verification dates and known licence expiry dates

Not included

  • Tax advice, VAT returns or representation before the FTA
  • Suppliers or invoices outside your package (you can add them online)

Fixed prices in AED. No VAT is added: Next Horizons FZCO is not registered for UAE VAT.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

A clear record of what was checked, and what still needs attention.

For each supplier in the agreed scope, we organise the checks, supporting evidence, findings and outstanding actions into a file your finance team and tax adviser can follow.

QUESTIONS

Good to know

Do I need a meeting or a call?

No. Price, order, payment, document requests, questions and delivery all happen online in your portal. Our team answers questions in writing.

Do I need exact numbers?

No. Choose a package on your best estimate and add your purchase list afterwards. If it turns out larger, you get a change proposal to approve. Nothing is ever charged automatically.

Who contacts my suppliers?

We do, on your behalf, once you authorise it when you order. Each supplier gets one request with a secure upload link and two automatic reminders, after 3 and 7 working days. Prefer to contact them yourself? Switch it off in your portal.

Can my price change after I pay?

Only if your purchase list turns out bigger than your package, and then you first get a change proposal to approve or reduce the scope. Never an automatic charge. Suppliers above AED 375,000 need enhanced checks (a UAE bank confirmation and a public-information review): we tell you before you order when that is likely, and they are included in every package. Required checks are never skipped.

What if a supplier doesn’t respond?

You choose: personal follow-up by our team (from AED 750 for up to 5 suppliers), contacting the supplier yourself, or finishing with the gap clearly reported. Nothing is added to your bill without your approval.

Which accounting software works?

All of them. Xero, Zoho Books and Wafeq connect directly: you approve access with your provider and we never ask for your password. QuickBooks Online follows once Intuit has approved our app. From any other package, an Excel or CSV export of your purchases is enough, and you confirm the columns yourself.

How do I pay?

Online by card (bank transfer is possible for the largest packages). Packages up to AED 6,000 are paid upfront; larger packages are paid 50% upfront and 50% after the final quality review. Fixed prices in AED. No VAT is added: Next Horizons FZCO is not registered for UAE VAT.

Is a smaller package a lighter check?

No. Every package gets the same checks and the same report. A smaller package simply covers fewer suppliers.
