FAQ
UAE Accounting Questions
What is UAE Corporate Tax and who needs to register?
UAE Corporate Tax applies to businesses operating in the UAE. Mainland and Free Zone companies generally need to register with the Federal Tax Authority, even where no tax is ultimately payable.
Do Free Zone companies have to pay Corporate Tax?
Free Zone companies must register for Corporate Tax. Some may qualify for a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet the required conditions.
When does a UAE business need to register for VAT?
VAT registration is mandatory when taxable supplies exceed the UAE mandatory registration threshold. Voluntary registration may be available at a lower threshold.
What accounting software do you recommend?
For most UAE SMEs, we recommend Xero, QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books, or Odoo depending on transaction volume, invoicing needs, bank integrations, inventory, and reporting requirements.
Do you support WPS and payroll?
Yes. We can prepare payroll calculations, salary reports, leave tracking, end-of-service gratuity provisions, and WPS-ready reports.
