Jewelry software for the UAE and Saudi Arabia (2026): what it has to do

For a jeweller in the Gulf the deciding questions are VAT done right — including reverse charge on gold sold to dealers — ZATCA or UAE e-invoicing, Arabic on the invoice, and branches in more than one currency.

The short answer: jewelry software in the Gulf has to get VAT right on gold — including reverse charge on sales to registered dealers and the treatment of investment gold — issue invoices the way the authority requires, print Arabic properly, and run branches in more than one currency.

VAT on gold is not one rule

Jewelry is usually standard-rated; investment-grade gold may be zero-rated; gold and diamonds sold to a registered dealer may be reverse-charged in the UAE. GoJewels sets VAT up from a country pack with separate tax classes, so investment gold and jewelry are treated differently, and reverse charge applies to customers with a tax number when it is switched on. The packs are proposals: have your adviser check them, and record that they did.

E-invoicing

In Saudi Arabia invoices go through ZATCA (Fatoora) with the QR code on the invoice. In the UAE, e-invoicing through accredited providers is being phased in; GoJewels generates each invoice and credit note as a PINT AE file for your provider and keeps it with its fingerprint, together with the provider's answer.

Arabic, properly

Right-to-left on screen and on paper, not English with Arabic numbers. Each branch can run in its own language.

Branches in different currencies

A showroom in Dubai in dirhams and one in Lahore in rupees, from one login — each with its own stock, staff and takings, and pieces moving between them in transit.

FAQ

Related questions

Does GoJewels support ZATCA?

Yes. Invoices are issued through ZATCA (Fatoora) as the sale completes, in Arabic, with the QR code on the invoice; returns are credit notes.

How is reverse charge on gold handled in the UAE?

With the UAE pack's reverse charge on, a sale to a customer with a tax number charges no VAT and the invoice says the buyer accounts for it. Check the treatment of your sales with your tax adviser before relying on it.
