Common Questions
No. We are not registered tax agents, so we do not register clients for VAT or Corporate Tax, file returns, or deal with the Federal Tax Authority on your behalf. You register and file yourself on EmaraTax, or appoint an FTA-registered tax agent, and we prepare the books and workings that support your filings. The same applies in Australia, where we do not provide BAS or tax agent services.
Yes. We provide financial reporting, budgeting and CFO support for Australian businesses, and for owners with operations in both Australia and the UAE. We do not provide BAS or tax agent services. Fees for Australian clients are quoted in AUD.
Most UAE companies must register, including free zone entities. Taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%, and income above that at 9%. Eligible small businesses can claim Small Business Relief. For advice on your own position, speak to an FTA-registered tax agent.
Yes. We rebuild past months from bank statements and invoices, fix opening balances, and then move you onto a normal monthly routine.
We work in Xero, QuickBooks Online and Zoho Books. If you already use another system, we can work in it or help you move.
We agree a fixed monthly fee based on your transaction volume, number of bank accounts and the services you need. See the pricing page for typical packages.

Calculators
Estimates for guidance only. They are not tax, legal or HR advice; speak to us before you file.
Add: VAT = net × rate. Extract: net = gross ÷ (1 + rate).
0% on the first AED 375,000 of taxable income, 9% above it. Small Business Relief applies to tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026.
21 days' basic pay per year for the first 5 years, 30 days per year after that. Payable after one year of service; capped at two years' basic salary (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021).
Mandatory above AED 375,000. Voluntary from AED 187,500 (supplies or expenses).
Insights
The test looks back over the last 12 months and forward 30 days. Once taxable supplies pass AED 375,000, you must apply within 30 days. Below that, registering voluntarily from AED 187,500 lets you recover VAT on costs, which can help a business with large set-up expenses.
Late registration carries an administrative penalty, so it pays to check early.
If your revenue is AED 3 million or less in a tax period, you can elect to be treated as having no taxable income for that period. You still have to register and file a return; the relief is claimed in the return.
The relief applies to tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026, and some businesses, such as qualifying free zone persons, cannot use it.
The UAE is moving to structured electronic invoices exchanged through accredited service providers. Start by cleaning customer and supplier master data (TRNs, addresses), and check whether your software can produce invoices in the required format.
Deadlines depend on your revenue. Check the FTA’s published guidance for the phase that applies to you.
