Common Questions

Corporate Services FAQs

01

Do I need to keep accounting records in the UAE?

Yes. UAE law requires companies to maintain proper books and retain records for a minimum period, currently seven years. Corporate tax has made this considerably more important, since your return must be supported by accurate financial statements.

02

When must I register for corporate tax?

All taxable persons, including free zone companies, must register with the Federal Tax Authority. Deadlines are tied to your licence issue date, and late registration attracts an administrative penalty. We confirm your deadline and handle the registration.

03

When must I register for VAT?

Registration is mandatory once your taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 in a twelve-month period. Voluntary registration is available above AED 187,500, which some businesses choose in order to reclaim input VAT.

04

Do I need an audit?

It depends on your jurisdiction and size. Many free zones require audited financial statements at renewal, and mainland companies increasingly need them for corporate tax and banking purposes. We confirm your specific obligation.

05

Can you take over from my current provider?

Yes. We handle transitions regularly, including obtaining files and clearance from your existing agent, and we make sure nothing lapses during the handover.
