Why it matters
Why accounting and compliance matter
Avoid legal risks
Ensure compliance with UAE financial reporting and tax regulations to avoid penalties.
Boost financial clarity
Well-maintained books support better financial decision-making.
Meet UAE requirements
VAT and corporate tax compliance is essential for businesses.
Save time and money
Outsourcing accounting improves efficiency without the need for full-time staff.
Gain smart insights
Interactive reports provide valuable data for strategic decision-making.
Before you file
Are your books ready for the return?
Tick what is already true. Your Corporate Tax return is calculated from these, so anything left unticked is what has to be closed before the deadline.
Nothing ticked yet — that is normal in September.
That is exactly what we close out before the deadline. A free 30-minute review tells you where you stand.
Pricing
Accounting and taxation packages
Every line of what you get, in public. Switch between yearly and monthly to see either figure, and what each package saves against the standard rate.
What counts as a transaction?
One transaction is a single line on your bank statement — a payment in or out. A tier of “up to 50” means roughly 50 such movements a month, not 50 invoices or reports. Not sure which band you fall into? We tell you in the free consultation, and moving up mid-term is straightforward.

Frequently asked
Questions people actually ask
BOOKKEEPING & FINANCIAL REPORTING
The UAE requires at least 5 years of records—failure can result in penalties.
While possible, outsourcing saves time, ensures accuracy, and prevents fines.
Businesses in the UAE must maintain accurate financial records, including:
• Income and expense records
• Bank statements
• Invoices and receipts
• Payroll records
• Asset and liability statements
• Tax filings and financial reports
Proper bookkeeping ensures businesses accurately track taxable income and expenses, file tax returns correctly and on time, maintain required financial records for audits, and avoid penalties for non-compliance.
AUDIT & LIQUIDATION
A legally required report verifying financial accuracy, helping with compliance & investor trust.
Required for company closure, ensuring compliance with UAE regulations.
CORPORATE TAX
The UAE introduced a federal Corporate Tax (CT) regime for financial years starting on or after June 1, 2023. This aligns with international tax standards while maintaining a competitive tax rate.
Yes. Businesses with annual revenue not exceeding AED 3 million can benefit from tax relief measures or exemptions until December 31, 2026.
CT returns must be filed electronically within nine months after the end of the relevant financial year. Corporate Tax return deadlines in 2025, based on different financial year-end dates:
Financial year ending on January 31, 2024 → Filing deadline: October 31, 2025
Financial year ending on February 28, 2024 → Filing deadline: November 30, 2025
Financial year ending on March 31, 2024 → Filing deadline: December 31, 2025

Yes, all businesses, including Free Zone entities, must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
In the 2025 Corporate Tax Rates graph, the UAE stands out with the lowest corporate tax rate at 9%, making it a highly competitive destination for businesses. This significantly lower tax rate compared to other countries, reinforces the UAE’s position as a global business hub.
VAT & CORPORATE TAX
Businesses exceeding AED 375,000 annual revenue must register for VAT.
You face penalties starting from AED 1,000 for the first offense.
0% tax on the first AED 375,000 profit → 9% tax on profits above that.
