Why this exists
From 1 October 2026 a business claiming input VAT in the UAE has to show that it checked its supplier and keep that evidence with the invoice (FTA Decision No. 13 of 2026). A supplier page helps to collect it: the supplier's own details and documents, compiled once by its accountants and shared through a single link.
When a buyer has to check a supplier
The rule starts
Applies to input VAT claimed on supplies received from 1 October 2026. Without a documented check the FTA can deny the deduction in full.
Supplier check
At the first transaction and then at least every 12 months: licence and registration, authorised signatory, real place of business, risk indicators.
Supply check
Every supply of AED 10,000 or more, excluding VAT, is checked on its own: commercial reason, price, licence match, title to the goods, payment route. Smaller supplies are exempt.
Exemption ends
Once supplies from one supplier exceed, or are expected to exceed, AED 100,000 over a rolling 12 months, every supply from it is checked, whatever its size.
Enhanced check
From AED 375,000 over a rolling 12 months the buyer also needs a written bank account confirmation from a UAE bank and a review of open sources.
Thresholds are counted per supplier over a rolling 12 months, excluding VAT.
What a buyer gets
Facts and the documents behind them
Licence, VAT registration, registered address and authorised signatory – and the documents themselves to download and check: trade licence, VAT certificate, memorandum of association.
A dated review
CoreLedger reviews the documents the supplier gives us; the review date is printed in every verification pack.
A verification pack for your company
Download a dated PDF with the facts, the checklist and copies of the documents, issued to your company. Keep it with the invoice.
Verifiable later
Every pack carries its own code. Enter it here to confirm that CoreLedger issued it and to see what it contained: the TRN, the licence number and the documents attached.
Only what a buyer needs is published. Of personal documents, only the authorised signatory's ID is shown – passports and IDs of owners and other directors never are. Supplier pages are not listed anywhere and are closed to search engines – a page opens only from the link or QR code the supplier gives you.
How it works
- The supplier shares a link or a QR code
- You see the supplier's details and documents
- You download the verification pack for your company
- You keep it with the invoice
What the page does not replace
The buyer's own review of each supply – the commercial reason, the price, title to the goods and the payment route. Those checks belong to the specific transaction, and the supplier page says so openly.
Where the details come from
We show the details and the documents they come from, so you can check them yourself. Every detail comes from the supplier; CoreLedger, its accountants, compiles and reviews them. We do not guarantee them: if something changes and the supplier does not tell us, the page will not show it. The supplier is responsible for its details; the TRN can be checked on the FTA website.
