Free Zone Accounting Services in UAE
Operating in a UAE free zone is a great advantage for many companies, but each zone follows its own set of rules, meaning one-size-fits-all accounting does not work.
Here’s why specialized free zone accounting is critical:
- Different Regulations: Each UAE free zone authority has its own accounting standards, reporting formats, and compliance timelines.
- Audited Financials: Some zones, such as DMCC and DAFZA, require annual audited financial statements from approved auditors.
- Periodic Filings & ESR Reports: Certain authorities mandate quarterly or annual filings, Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) submissions, and Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) reporting.
- Impact on Business Operations: Errors in accounting or delayed submissions can cause license renewal delays, visa processing issues, or even penalties.
Compliance for Free Zones in UAE
Even within free zones, VAT and regulatory compliance can get tricky—especially if you deal with cross-border or intercompany transactions.
We ensure your business remains compliant by:
- VAT Status Clarification: Identifying if your free zone is designated or non-designated under Federal Tax Authority (FTA) rules.
- Record Maintenance: Keeping accurate records for at least 5 years in line with UAE tax law.
- Audit Submissions: Preparing and submitting year-end audits as required by your free zone authority.
- Transaction Segregation: Properly separating intercompany and cross-border transactions for compliance and clarity.
We make VAT compliance simple, even if your trade flows are complex. Our online accounting for free zones in UAE is designed to serve every business, no matter whether it is small or big.
