Just an overview of your business and what you need help with. If you have a trade licence, recent financial statements or FTA correspondence, they help us give more specific guidance.

In most cases, yes. Registration and filing obligations apply to taxable persons regardless of whether tax is payable. We confirm your specific position during the free consultation.

For most resident businesses, taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0% and income above that at 9%. Different rules apply to Qualifying Free Zone Persons and certain other categories.

The return and any tax payable are generally due within nine months of the end of the tax period. For a calendar-year company, that means 30 September of the following year.

Eligible resident businesses with revenue at or below AED 3 million can elect Small Business Relief for eligible tax periods, which treats them as having no taxable income. It must be elected in the return and has conditions, so it should be assessed each year.

Registration is mandatory when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months, or are expected to exceed it in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is possible above AED 187,500.

Most businesses file quarterly, while some are assigned monthly periods by the FTA. Returns and payment are due by the 28th day after the end of each tax period.

The standard rate is 5%. Some supplies are zero-rated or exempt, which is why correct classification matters.

Yes. We start with a review of recent returns so that any issues are identified and corrected before we file the next one.

Our team works with QuickBooks and Zoho Books. If you already use one of these, we work in your existing file; if not, we help you choose and set up the right one.

Yes. We regularly bring books up to date ahead of VAT or Corporate Tax deadlines, then move to a regular monthly cycle.

Bookkeeping and audit are separate. If your company requires audited financial statements, we can advise on and provide the audit as a separate engagement, with appropriate independence.

Independence rules limit this. Where we provide accounting services to you, we will discuss independence safeguards or recommend a separate arrangement so the audit remains objective.

It depends on the size of the business and how ready the records are. We agree a realistic timetable at the start based on your deadline.

Audited statements are required for Corporate Tax purposes for businesses with revenue above AED 50 million and for Qualifying Free Zone Persons. Your licensing authority or bank may also require an audit.

It depends on your activities, customers, office needs and budget. We compare the options for your specific case during the free consultation.

Most companies must register for Corporate Tax, and VAT registration depends on turnover. We include tax registrations in our setup support.
