Impuestos

To access your taxes, go to Accounting ‣ Configuration ‣ Taxes. Activate/deactivate, or configure the taxes relevant to your business by clicking on them. Remember to only set tax accounts on the 5% tax group, as other groups do not need closing. To do so, enable the developer mode and go to Configuration ‣ Tax Groups. Then, set a Tax current account (payable), Tax current account (receivable), and an Advance Tax payment account for the 5% group.

Nota

The RCM is supported by Odoo.

Currency exchange rates

To update the currency exchange rates, go to Accounting ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings ‣ Currencies. Click on the update button (🗘) found next to the Next Run field.

To launch the update automatically at set intervals, change the Interval from Manually to the desired frequency.

Nota

By default, the UAE Central Bank exchange rates web service is used. Several other providers are available under the Service field.

Salary rules

To apply these rules to an employee’s contract, go to Payroll ‣ Contracts ‣ Contracts and select the employee’s contract. In the Salary Structure Type field, select UAE Employee.

Under the Salary Information tab, you can find details such as the:

• Wage;

• Housing Allowance;

• Transportation Allowance;

• Other Allowances;

• Number of Days: used to calculate the end of service provision.

Nota

• Leave deductions are calculated using a salary rule linked to the unpaid leave time-off type;

• Any other deductions or reimbursements are made manually using other inputs;

• Overtimes are added manually by going to Work Entries ‣ Work Entries;

• Salary attachments are generated by going to Contracts ‣ Salary Attachments. Then, Create an attachment and select the Employee and the Type (Attachment of Salary, Assignment of Salary, Child Support).

Truco

To prevent a rule from appearing on a paycheck, go to Payroll ‣ Configuration ‣ Rules. Click on UAE Employee Payroll Structure, select the rule to hide, and uncheck Appears on Payslip.

End of service provision

The provision is defined as the total monthly allowance divided by 30 and then multiplied by the number of days set in the field Number of days at the bottom of a contract’s form.

The provision is then calculated via a salary rule associated with two accounts: the End Of Service Indemnity (Expense account) and the End of Service Provision (Non-current Liabilities account). The latter is used to pay off the end of service amount by settling it with the payables account.

Nota

The end of service amount is calculated based on the gross salary and the start and end dates of the employee’s contract.

Facturas

The UAE localization package allows the generation of invoices in English, Arabic, or both. The localization also includes a line to display the VAT amount per line.
