Why UAE Businesses Choose Zoho Projects with Wanas Apps
Built Around the UAE's Unique Business Environment
The UAE is home to one of the world's most diverse project landscapes: Dubai real-estate brokerages racing to close off-plan sales cycles, Abu Dhabi property developers coordinating multi-phase construction handovers, UAE healthcare clinics rolling out new facilities under DHA or DOH licensing timelines, and UAE electrical and trading distributors managing procurement, installation, and commissioning across multiple emirates simultaneously. Each of these sectors demands structured project governance — and that governance must sit inside a broader compliance framework.
Labour Law & WPS Alignment
Project delivery in the UAE is inseparable from workforce management. Under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, every employee on your project roster is entitled to defined leave, end-of-service gratuity, and a salary paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS) administered by MOHRE. If your project teams include staff employed under a free-zone authority — DIFC, ADGM, JAFZA, or any of the UAE's 40-plus free zones — those employers must also follow their respective free-zone authority rules.
Zoho Projects integrates with Zoho People and Zoho Payroll so that resource allocation, timesheet approvals, and billable hours feed cleanly into payroll runs that are WPS-ready. Project managers can assign tasks, log hours, and close sprints without creating a data gap between the project ledger and the payroll register.
VAT, Corporate Tax & the Road to FTA E-Invoicing
Every billable milestone your project generates is a potential tax event. The UAE levies VAT at 5%, and businesses must issue FTA-compliant tax invoices in AED for taxable supplies. Corporate Tax at 9% applies to taxable profit above AED 375,000 and is filed through the EmaraTax portal — meaning your project revenue figures must reconcile cleanly with your tax filings.
Looking ahead, FTA e-invoicing becomes mandatory from 1 January 2027 for businesses with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more, with smaller businesses following in later phases. Invoices must flow through an Accredited Service Provider. Zoho Books — which connects directly to Zoho Projects for invoice generation from project milestones — already supports UAE VAT returns and FTA-format tax invoices, positioning your business to meet the 2027 mandate without a disruptive system change.
Multi-Entity & Multi-Jurisdiction Project Portfolios
Businesses licensed through the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, other emirates' economic departments, or any of the UAE's free-zone authorities often run parallel legal entities. Zoho Projects supports multi-portal structures so that a holding group can maintain separate project workspaces per entity while senior leadership views a consolidated portfolio dashboard — critical for groups operating mainland and free-zone licences simultaneously.
Local Implementation, All Seven Emirates
Wanas Apps operates from its Dubai office at Rove City Walk, Al Wasl, and serves clients across all seven emirates.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Zoho Projects supports separate portals per legal entity, so a group with both a mainland DET licence and a JAFZA or DIFC entity can maintain distinct project workspaces while giving group leadership a consolidated view.
Zoho Projects integrates with Zoho Payroll, which is designed to support WPS salary disbursements as required by MOHRE under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. Approved timesheets in Zoho Projects feed directly into payroll calculations.
Zoho Projects generates billable milestones that feed into Zoho Books, which already produces FTA-format tax invoices with 5% VAT. As the mandatory e-invoicing regime takes effect from 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more, having your project billing inside the Zoho ecosystem positions you to connect to an Accredited Service Provider without rebuilding your invoicing workflow.
Our Dubai team has configured Zoho Projects for sectors including real-estate brokerages, property developers, healthcare clinics, and electrical and trading distributors — industries where milestone tracking, resource management, and AED-denominated client billing are all critical.
