Accounting, Tax, and Financial Compliance

Accurate financial records and regulatory compliance form the backbone of every well-managed business. Our accounting, audit, and tax advisory services go beyond basic bookkeeping to include financial reporting, audit preparation, and consulting on both local and international tax matters.

We support businesses in maintaining clear and compliant accounts, preparing management reports, and ensuring readiness for statutory audits. Our goal is to provide a reliable financial foundation for decision-making while helping you meet all legal obligations.

This service group includes:

• Bookkeeping and Reporting: Monthly financial statements, bank reconciliations, and custom reports for management.
• Audit Coordination: Collaboration with licensed audit firms to prepare files and address any risks.
• Tax Structuring: Guidance on profit distribution, withholding taxes, and compliance in multi-jurisdictional environments.

Compliance with VAT and corporate tax regulations in the UAE is not only a legal requirement — it’s a critical component of corporate risk management. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties, audits, and reputational harm. We provide end-to-end advisory on VAT registration, return filing, and corporate tax compliance under the UAE’s evolving regulatory framework.

Our experts support clients with accurate filings, voluntary disclosures, and reconciliation of tax liabilities. We also assist with tax deregistration and the regularization of historical obligations, especially in cases involving liquidation, restructuring, or previously misreported returns.

This service group includes:

• VAT Registration and Returns: Timely filings, voluntary disclosures, and advisory.
• Corporate Tax Planning: Structuring local operations to maximize available exemptions.
• Tax Deregistration and Cleanup: Handling closure or adjustment of tax accounts due to liquidation or change of status.

Operating across multiple jurisdictions introduces complex tax challenges. Our transborder tax consultancy service helps businesses navigate the legal and procedural intricacies of international taxation, avoid double taxation, and ensure compliance with treaty-based obligations.

We offer tailored tax planning and advisory across various countries to streamline cross-border operations and create sustainable, legally compliant business structures. From evaluating tax regimes to advising on treaty use, we help ensure your corporate framework is adapted to international activity without unnecessary exposure.

This service group includes:

• Double Tax Treaty Analysis: Understanding and applying bilateral agreements to reduce withholding tax or permanent establishment risk.
• Jurisdictional Comparison: Side-by-side evaluation of relevant tax regimes.
• Cross-border Structuring: Establishing hybrid models (e.g., IP ownership, service centers, management fees) that support effective international structuring.

A UAE tax residency certificate allows individuals and entities to claim treaty benefits and formally confirm their fiscal residence in the UAE. It is often required by banks, tax authorities, and foreign jurisdictions as proof of tax domicile. The process is detailed and must comply with strict Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and Ministry of Finance requirements.

We provide comprehensive support in obtaining tax residency certificates for both individuals and legal entities. Our services cover eligibility assessment, preparation and submission of the application, and complete assistance in gathering and producing the necessary supporting documents — such as valid tenancy contracts, immigration entry-exit reports, Emirates ID, bank statements, utility bills, and audit reports. We liaise directly with the issuing authorities to ensure smooth and timely issuance.

This service group includes:

• Document Collection and Review: Advice and assistance in gathering tenancy contracts, Emirates ID, entry-exit reports, etc.
• Application Submission: Ensuring timelines, accuracy, and jurisdictional relevance.
• Follow-up and Delivery: Liaison with the issuing body until certificate is granted.
