Compliance handled on a calendar, not in a panic
UAE Corporate Tax and VAT introduced real deadlines and real penalties. We keep your books current, your registrations correct and your filings on time — with reporting you can actually use to run the business.
Books that serve two purposes
Accounting should satisfy the regulator and inform your decisions. We maintain records to filing standard and give you monthly or quarterly reporting that shows margin, cash and exposure clearly.
What the engagement covers

- Small Business Relief and free zone qualifying income assessment

Why it matters
Penalty exposure reduced
Deadlines are tracked centrally, and registrations are checked against your actual activity.
Decisions on real numbers
Reporting arrives soon enough after period end to still be useful.
Audit and bank ready
Records are maintained in a format auditors and banks accept without rework.
Tax treatment depends on your specific facts, activity and jurisdiction, and UAE tax legislation and guidance continue to develop. Nothing on this page is tax advice. Formal positions are given only within a signed engagement after reviewing your circumstances.
Tax & accounting FAQ
Free zone entities are within the Corporate Tax regime but may benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet the qualifying free zone person conditions. This requires assessment of your income streams and substance — it is not automatic.
Registration is mandatory once taxable supplies exceed the mandatory threshold, with voluntary registration available at a lower threshold. We assess your turnover and supply types before advising.
It depends on your jurisdiction, licence and size. Several free zones require audited accounts annually. We confirm your obligation and coordinate with the auditor.
Yes. We review the existing records, identify gaps, and agree a catch-up plan before moving to a regular cycle.
