9% corporate tax, 5% VAT. Sharia-compliant labels intact. SEWA, Murabaha, Ijara — all extracted as-is from your Sharjah Islamic Bank PDF.
Convert for tax prepThe FTA does not require you to submit the bank statement with the corporate tax or VAT return. It requires you to retain it for seven years and produce it within five business days if asked. A clean Excel export is what your tax agent works from when preparing the filing.
SIB is the dominant Islamic bank in Sharjah. Its statements are bilingual Arabic-English, AED-denominated, with Sharia-compliant product labels in the description column. Islamic product lines (Murabaha, Ijara, Diminishing Musharaka) have specific VAT treatments — they are not interest, and they should not be categorised as such.
The 5% VAT on a supplier payment is not split on the SIB bank line — the line carries the gross amount, and the split sits on the supplier invoice. FTA remittances appear as ONLINE TRANSFER rows with FTA or the FTA portal reference in the description.
Murabaha instalments are financing cost, deductible per the FTA's CT rules with the standard limitations. Ijara is a lease payment, treated as a rental expense. Kashfbank tags these distinctly so they do not get merged with operating expenses on import.
Revenue, supplier debits, FTA remittances, financing cost, and utility expense — the five buckets that cover most SIB SME statements.
Bilingual Arabic-English PDF consistent with UAE Central Bank reporting standards. AED denominated. Dates DD/MM/YYYY. Sharia-compliant product labels (Murabaha, Ijara) in transaction descriptions. IBAN, branch code, and statement period in header. Separate debit/credit columns with running balance.

UAE corporate tax (9% above AED 375K, effective June 2023) requires businesses to reconcile bank deposits against revenue figures; statements are the primary source for revenue verification by the FTA.

Common challenges
Is Murabaha treated as interest by the FTA?
No. Murabaha is a cost-plus sale, not a loan. The FTA recognises Murabaha cost as a deductible expense subject to the same limits as conventional financing cost. The accounting treatment is different from interest — keep the label intact.
How are SEWA payments categorised?
SEWA is the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority. Payments appear as UTILITY PAYMENT on the SIB statement. For CT purposes, the business-use share is deductible as an operating expense.
Free-zone company on 0% CT — do I still need this?
Yes. Qualifying Free Zone Persons still file a return and must keep records. The converted SIB statement is the underlying evidence behind the revenue and expense numbers.
Does the export distinguish Murabaha from Ijara?
Yes. Both are kept with their original labels and tagged with separate Category values — Financing Cost for Murabaha, Lease for Ijara. The chart-of-accounts mapping differs in most UAE accounting setups.
