One country, two regimes, two profiles.

§02 · WHAT RUNS NATIVELY TODAY

In the engine, not a localisation pack

Native means the rules are data the engine executes. Declare the emirate once and the profile drives finance, HR, projects and compliance together.

• Tax routing — invoices under either UAE profile carry 5% VAT in AED, alongside multi-currency lines in EGP, SAR, AED, JOD, USD and EUR with per-project P&L kept straight.
• Labour rules — payroll, leave and end-of-service gratuity follow the encoded UAE labour rules, with the pension split the profiles carry: GPSSA on the Dubai profile, ADRPBF on Abu Dhabi’s, and gratuity for expatriate staff on both. Payroll lands in finance through the same bridge everywhere.
• Permits and authorities — project states carry each profile’s own path: ADDC or AADC design approval, DMT permits and EAD clearances in Abu Dhabi; DEWA approvals, Dubai Municipality or Trakhees permits and Dubai Civil Defence NOCs in Dubai.
• Compliance calendar — each profile’s filing and renewal obligations on the calendar from day one, with quality gates at enforce, advise or off discipline per tenant.
• Multi-currency billing — AED contracts beside USD or EUR equipment lines, books straight per project.

§04 · THE STUDIO ON UAE PROJECTS

Design and finance, profile-aware

The design studio works from the same jurisdiction declaration as the dashboard. For an Abu Dhabi or Dubai site that means:

• PVGIS 8,760-hour TMY simulation with a full hourly shading matrix and bypass-diode mismatch modelling — the same physics for Dubai as for Cairo.
• Jurisdiction tariff profiles in the studio feeding the load analysis, from a flat bill or a 12-month profile.
• 25-year NPV, IRR and payback, with a target-IRR optimizer sweeping 432 tilt/azimuth/spacing trials.
• A 10-section bankable feasibility PDF — IEC 61724-1 methodology, P50/P90 with documented uncertainty — plus engineering SLD, costed BOM and a client one-pager.

Bankable describes the methodology, not a certification. Third-party certification is on the roadmap; we do not claim it today.

§06 · QUESTIONS WE GET

Asked plainly, answered plainly

Are Abu Dhabi and Dubai really separate profiles?

Yes. They share the federal layer — AED, 5% VAT, no withholding tax, the Federal Tax Authority — but the regulatory regimes differ: Abu Dhabi runs through the DoE, EWEC, ADDC, AADC and TRANSCO; Dubai through DEWA and the RSB, with Dubai Municipality or Trakhees on permits. A project declares its emirate and the engine applies the matching profile.

What does Preliminary mean, exactly?

Encoded from published rules, with validation against live local practice still ahead. Validated means a profile runs in production — Egypt is the only jurisdiction we say that about. In validation sits in between. We report the status on every page rather than letting a country list imply more than it should.

Does the platform handle UAE e-invoicing?

No. UAE e-invoicing is not shipped today; it is on the roadmap. Egypt is our only e-invoicing jurisdiction — the platform generates ETA-compliant e-invoices there, and submission to the government gateway is on the integration roadmap.
