Does my UAE company need to register for VAT?

VAT registration with the UAE Federal Tax Authority is mandatory for businesses whose taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in any 12-month period or are expected to exceed that threshold in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available for businesses with taxable supplies above AED 187,500 annually. Most UAE-based companies providing goods or services to UAE customers will reach the mandatory threshold once trading begins. AB Capital is an FTA Approved Tax Agency (Tax Agent Number 30008239) and handles VAT registration, TRN issuance, and all subsequent return filings.

What is the UAE corporate tax rate and which companies does it apply to?

The UAE corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000 per financial year. Income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0% — providing relief for startups and small businesses. The regime applies to all UAE juridical persons from the first financial year starting on or after 1 June 2023, including mainland and free zone companies. Qualifying Free Zone Persons may qualify for 0% on qualifying income if they meet specific substance and activity conditions. All UAE companies must register for corporate tax with the FTA regardless of whether they expect to pay tax.

What is an FTA Approved Tax Agent and why does it matter?

An FTA Approved Tax Agent is an individual or firm licensed by the UAE Federal Tax Authority to represent taxpayers in dealings with the FTA — including VAT registration, return filing, objections, and audit proceedings. AB Capital Services FZC is an FTA Approved Tax Agency and Bharat Bajaj holds FTA Tax Agent Number 30008239. An FTA-approved agent can communicate directly with the FTA on your behalf, submit registrations and returns through the official agent portal, and represent you in FTA audit proceedings. Non-approved advisors and accountants cannot perform these functions.

What bookkeeping records must a UAE company maintain?

UAE companies are legally required to maintain accurate financial records for a minimum of 5 years from the end of the relevant financial year. Under the UAE Corporate Tax Law, records must be sufficient to verify taxable income, allowable deductions, and tax liability. Required documentation includes sales and purchase invoices, bank statements, payroll records, and annual financial statements. VAT-registered businesses must additionally maintain tax invoices, credit notes, and import and export documentation. AB Capital’s bookkeeping service maintains all required records in compliance with both VAT and corporate tax obligations.

How often does a UAE company need to file VAT returns?

Most UAE VAT-registered businesses file quarterly VAT returns — on a 3-month tax period basis assigned by the FTA at registration. Returns must be filed and any VAT liability paid within 28 days of the end of the tax period. Some businesses are placed on a monthly filing cycle based on turnover or sector. Late filing results in administrative penalties starting at AED 1,000 for the first offence. AB Capital manages VAT return preparation, review, and submission for all compliance clients, tracking deadlines proactively.

Why do businesses in the UAE need bookkeeping services?

Bookkeeping ensures accurate financial records, helps track cash flow, supports compliance with UAE tax laws, and provides the foundation for financial decision-making.

How can professional accounting services benefit small businesses?

Professional accounting helps small businesses stay tax compliant, reduce errors, save time, and gain insights into profitability and growth opportunities.

Are accounting and bookkeeping services mandatory in the UAE?

Yes. Under UAE tax and corporate laws, businesses are required to maintain proper accounting records for at least five years to comply with VAT and audit regulations.

How much do accounting and bookkeeping services cost in the UAE?

The cost depends on the size of the business, the volume of transactions, and the scope of services needed. Many firms offer flexible monthly or yearly packages.

Does a free zone company need to register for UAE corporate tax?

Yes. All UAE free zone companies must register for corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority regardless of expected liability. A Qualifying Free Zone Person may apply a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income if it satisfies substance requirements and derives income from qualifying activities. Non-qualifying income is taxed at 9%. AB Capital has completed 300+ corporate tax registrations in 2025 and advises free zone clients on Qualifying Free Zone Person eligibility, substance requirements, and annual return filing.

What is the deadline for UAE corporate tax return filing?

UAE corporate tax returns must be filed within 9 months from the end of the relevant tax period (financial year). For companies with a financial year ending 31 December 2024, the return deadline is 30 September 2025. The corporate tax liability must be settled by the same deadline. Companies with different financial year-end dates have corresponding deadlines. AB Capital tracks all client corporate tax deadlines and files returns in advance to avoid late filing penalties, which begin at AED 500 per month for delayed submissions.

How much do accounting and bookkeeping services cost in Dubai?

Monthly bookkeeping for a startup or SME with up to 100 transactions per month typically costs AED 500 to AED 1,500. Annual financial statement preparation costs AED 2,000 to AED 5,000 depending on complexity. VAT return filing costs AED 500 to AED 1,500 per quarter. Corporate tax return preparation and filing costs AED 3,000 to AED 8,000 per year. AB Capital provides fixed-fee packages for UAE startups and SMEs with transparent scope definitions — covering bookkeeping, VAT, corporate tax, and payroll under one engagement.

Can an Indian-owned UAE company repatriate profits to India?

Yes. UAE companies — including free zone and mainland entities owned by Indian nationals — face no UAE restrictions on profit repatriation. Profits can be remitted from a UAE corporate bank account to an Indian account without UAE capital controls or withholding tax. However, amounts received in India from a foreign company may have implications under Indian income tax laws, including potential TDS obligations and reporting under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). AB Capital advises on UAE-side compliance for profit distributions and recommends engaging an Indian chartered accountant for India-side tax treatment.

What is UAE VAT and which businesses are exempt?

UAE VAT (Value Added Tax) is a 5% consumption tax on the supply of most goods and services in the UAE, introduced on 1 January 2018. VAT-exempt supplies include bare land sales, residential property sales and leases (first supply only), local passenger transport, and certain financial services. Zero-rated supplies — which carry 0% VAT but allow input tax recovery — include exports of goods and services, international transport, and healthcare and educational services meeting specific criteria. AB Capital provides VAT registration, return filing, and FTA compliance for all UAE company types, including businesses operating across exempt and standard-rated supplies.
