Why it matters from day one

Every UAE company must register for Corporate Tax — even if it expects to pay none — and late registration carries a penalty. VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable supplies pass AED 375,000 in 12 months. Banks and free zone authorities also ask for financial statements at renewal.

Clean books from the first month make all of this simple. Fixing a year of missing records later is slower and more expensive.

Frequently asked questions

Do all UAE companies need to keep accounts?

Yes. UAE companies must keep proper accounting records, and under Corporate Tax law records generally need to be kept for at least seven years. Accounts are needed for Corporate Tax returns, VAT returns, licence renewals in many free zones and for banks.

Who prepares my accounts after setup?

Our tax & accounting team at pbz.ae — part of ProBiz Setup — offers fixed-fee bookkeeping, VAT and Corporate Tax packages, with cloud accounting software included.

Do I need audited financial statements?

Many free zones require audited accounts for licence renewal. For Corporate Tax, audited statements are required for Qualifying Free Zone Persons and for businesses with revenue above AED 50 million. We prepare audit-ready books and coordinate with independent auditors.
