If your taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 annually, VAT registration with the FTA is mandatory. If they exceed AED 187,500, voluntary registration is available and often advisable. Once registered, you are required to charge 5% VAT on applicable supplies, file regular VAT returns — quarterly or monthly depending on your turnover — and maintain compliant financial records. Finvest manages the entire process on your behalf, from registration through to every filing deadline.

The UAE Corporate Tax rate is 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. Income below this threshold is taxed at 0%. Qualifying Free Zone businesses may retain a 0% rate on qualifying income, provided they meet FTA substance requirements, maintain audited financials, and comply with transfer pricing rules. Finvest assesses your exact position and structures your business to ensure you benefit from every available relief and exemption under the law.

Missing VAT filing deadlines or underpaying tax results in FTA administrative penalties. However, the FTA does provide a voluntary disclosure mechanism — proactively correcting errors before an FTA audit typically results in significantly reduced penalties compared to being caught during a formal review. At Finvest, we regularly assist clients in preparing and submitting voluntary disclosures, negotiating penalty reconsideration requests, and bringing their FTA portal fully up to date.

Yes — without exception. All UAE businesses including Free Zone companies must register with the FTA for Corporate Tax, even if they qualify for the 0% rate. From 2025 onward, Qualifying Free Zone Persons must also submit audited financial statements as part of their Corporate Tax filing. Failure to register, file on time, or maintain adequate substance can result in losing the 0% qualification for up to five years. Finvest handles registration, filing, and full ongoing compliance for Free Zone clients.

Yes — and this is exactly where our integrated model delivers the greatest value. Rather than managing two separate advisors for VAT and Corporate Tax, Finvest provides a single, unified tax compliance service covering both obligations. Our team monitors all FTA deadlines, prepares and submits every return, manages your FTA portal, and keeps you informed of any regulatory changes that affect your business. One team, one engagement, complete peace of mind.

Absolutely — and the earlier the better. Many small business owners manage their own books until an FTA audit, a bank financing request, or a tax filing deadline forces them to catch up under pressure. Clean, accurate books from the start protect you from penalties, give you reliable financial data to make decisions, and make VAT and Corporate Tax filings significantly simpler. Finvest's centralized accounting service is specifically designed for SMEs — giving you professional financial management at a fraction of the cost of a full-time in-house accountant.

Our Core Accounting Package covers everything your business needs to stay financially organised and compliant. On a daily basis, we handle invoicing and billing, accounts payable and receivable management, vendor payment processing, and payment follow-ups. Monthly, we deliver financial reports and management accounts. Annually, we support internal auditing, Corporate Tax submissions, and budgeting and planning sessions. Our team is available during business hours to assist you and act on your behalf — just as an in-house accountant would, without the overhead.

We work across all major cloud-based accounting platforms including Zoho Books, QuickBooks, and Xero. If you already use one of these systems, we integrate directly into your existing setup. If you are not yet using accounting software, we handle the full setup and configuration for you — and we also provide accounting software training for your internal team where needed. Our goal is to ensure your financial infrastructure is both efficient and scalable.

Hiring a full-time accountant in Dubai involves significant overhead — salary, visa costs, gratuity, and office space. With Finvest, you access a full team of accounting professionals, tax advisors, and audit consultants for a predictable monthly fee — with no recruitment risk, no HR obligations, and no gaps in service when staff are absent. You also benefit from the combined expertise of specialists across accounting, VAT, Corporate Tax, and auditing, rather than relying on a single individual to cover all disciplines.

Yes — this is one of the most common situations we handle. We manage the transition smoothly, requesting records from your previous provider, reconciling any historical discrepancies, and bringing your books fully up to date before taking over ongoing management. Whether your records are incomplete, inconsistently maintained, or simply need a fresh start, our team will get everything in order efficiently and without disruption to your business operations.
