UAE Client Reviews

UAE Businesses Trust Sirus ⭐ 4.9/5

★★★★★
I own a trading LLC in Dubai Mainland. When UAE Corporate Tax was announced, I was completely confused about whether my business would be liable at 9% and how to register with FTA. Sirus Infotech explained the AED 375,000 threshold, handled CT registration, and now files our annual return. They also identified that we qualify for Small Business Relief. Excellent, cost-effective service!

My DMCC free zone company received a query from DMCC requesting audited financial statements for license renewal — something I had never filed. Sirus Infotech quickly prepared our IFRS-compliant books for the past year and coordinated with a DMCC-approved auditor. License renewed without issues. Now they handle our monthly bookkeeping. Highly professional!

★★★★★
We have a logistics business in JAFZA and were not aware of the ESR (Economic Substance Regulations) notification requirement. Sirus Infotech identified that our distribution and service centre activity was a relevant activity, filed our ESR notification on time, and helped us pass the substance test. Avoided what could have been a AED 50,000 penalty. Exceptional UAE compliance expertise!

UAE Compliance FAQs

UAE Accounting Services — Essential FAQs

Precise answers for UAE Mainland LLC, free zone companies, and Indian entrepreneurs operating in the Emirates.

UAE businesses need: (1) VAT registration if taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000; quarterly VAT returns with FTA; (2) UAE Corporate Tax registration (mandatory for all businesses); annual CT return; (3) IFRS-compliant bookkeeping (UAE Commercial Law requires financial records for 5 years); (4) Annual financial statements (mandatory for free zone license renewal in JAFZA, DMCC etc.); (5) ESR notification and report if relevant activities apply; (6) UBO registration for Mainland companies; (7) Payroll under WPS (Wages Protection System) for all employees. Sirus Infotech handles all these requirements in a comprehensive compliance package.
UAE Corporate Tax at 9% on income above AED 375,000 became effective from financial years beginning on or after June 1, 2023. Important for free zone companies: ALL UAE entities — including free zone companies — must register with FTA for Corporate Tax. There is no exemption from registration. However, Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZP) meeting specific conditions can enjoy 0% CT rate on qualifying income. QFZP conditions are complex — must maintain adequate substance, have qualifying income from specified sources, not elect otherwise, and meet other tests. Non-qualifying income may be taxed at 9%. Sirus Infotech provides QFZP assessment for UAE free zone businesses.
Mandatory VAT registration: when taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 in any 12-month period. Registration must be done within 30 days; late registration penalty applies. Voluntary registration: available when taxable supplies exceed AED 187,500 (beneficial to recover input VAT). Businesses making only exempt supplies (residential leasing, most financial services) generally cannot register. Zero-rated businesses (exporters, healthcare, education) should register to recover input VAT. Filing: quarterly returns due 28th of the following month. Sirus Infotech completes FTA VAT registration within 5 business days with required documentation.
IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) is the accounting framework mandatory for UAE companies under Federal Law No. 32 of 2021. UAE businesses need IFRS compliance for: legal requirement under UAE Commercial Companies Law; bank loan and credit facility applications (banks require IFRS financial statements); Corporate Tax return preparation (CT return based on IFRS financials); free zone license renewal (JAFZA, DMCC, DAFZA require annual audited IFRS accounts); investor due diligence; visa applications showing company financial health. Sirus Infotech prepares monthly IFRS-compliant books and annual financial statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow, Notes to Accounts) for all UAE company types.
ESR (Economic Substance Regulations): applies to UAE entities with 9 relevant activities (banking, insurance, investment fund management, lease-finance, headquarters, shipping, holding company, IP, distribution centre). All UAE entities must submit annual ESR notification; those with relevant activities earning income must satisfy substance test and file ESR Report. Non-compliance penalty: AED 50,000 first offence, AED 400,000 repeat. UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner): Mainland UAE companies must maintain and file a register of beneficial owners (persons owning 25%+ of shares directly or indirectly) with their Emirate's Economic Department. Changes must be updated within 15 business days. Sirus Infotech handles both ESR and UBO compliance comprehensively.
Key differences: Free Zone — annual financial statements required by free zone authority (JAFZA, DMCC, DAFZA, RAKEZ) for license renewal; DMCC mandates audited FS by DMCC-approved auditors; QFZP analysis needed for Corporate Tax rate; ESR notifications filed with respective free zone authority. Mainland — IFRS books needed for commercial law compliance and bank financing; full Corporate Tax at 9% above AED 375K (no free zone exemption); ESR notifications with Ministry of Economy; UBO registration mandatory; payroll under WPS for all employees. Common to both — VAT registration and quarterly filing if threshold exceeded; UAE CT registration mandatory for all; IFRS bookkeeping required. Sirus Infotech specializes in both free zone and Mainland accounting requirements.
