FAQ

Working with us, answered.

What services does an accounting firm in Dubai typically provide?+

A full-service Dubai accounting firm covers bookkeeping, VAT and Corporate Tax compliance, financial statements, audit support and advisory work such as valuations, due diligence and CFO services. Authentic Accounting delivers these under one engagement, spanning compliance — monthly close, FTA filings, IFRS statements — and advisory, including financial modelling, tax planning and transaction support.

When must a UAE business register for VAT?+

A UAE business must register for VAT once its taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, or are expected to within the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500. Registration, return preparation and FTA filing are part of our VAT compliance service, so thresholds are monitored before they become a problem.

What is the Corporate Tax rate in the UAE?+

UAE Corporate Tax applies at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, with a 0% rate on taxable income up to that level. Qualifying free zone persons can access a 0% rate on qualifying income, subject to conditions. Our UAE Corporate Tax service handles registration, the period computation and return filing, including free-zone (QFZP) analysis where relevant.

When does e-invoicing become mandatory in the UAE?+

UAE e-invoicing goes live in phases by revenue: businesses with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more go live on 1 January 2027, after appointing an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026; other businesses follow on 1 July 2027 and government entities on 1 October 2027. Our E-Invoicing support service covers readiness assessment, ASP selection and ERP data preparation ahead of your dates.
