FAQ

Real questions UAE founders ask

From registration panic to FTA audit letters — answered plainly.

My revenue just crossed AED 375,000 — how urgently do I need to register for VAT? +
You have 30 days from the end of the month you crossed the threshold to register with the FTA. Penalties for late registration start at AED 20,000, so act quickly. Most registrations take 5–20 working days. If you are already past the deadline, a voluntary disclosure usually results in lower penalties than waiting for the FTA to discover the non-compliance.
We are a free zone company — do we still charge VAT to UAE mainland customers? +
Yes. Free zone status does not exempt you from UAE VAT obligations on supplies to mainland customers. If your company makes taxable supplies to the mainland, you must register for VAT and charge 5%. Free zone status affects customs duties and import/export treatment, not VAT on local supplies.
My accountant quoted AED 6,000/month for bookkeeping — is that normal? +
For a 5–15 person trading company, AED 2,500–5,000/month is typical. AED 6,000+ is reasonable if you have high invoice volumes, multiple currencies, or complex inventory. Always clarify what is included — VAT returns, payroll, and FTA audit support are often charged separately by cheaper providers, making the all-in cost higher than the headline rate.
We have never filed a VAT return in 18 months — how bad are the penalties? +
Non-registration penalties start at AED 20,000. Non-filing adds AED 1,000–2,000 per period. Late payment carries a 2% penalty immediately, plus 4% on day 7. The FTA accepts voluntary disclosures, which typically result in lower total penalties than if they discover the non-compliance first. Get professional help before approaching the FTA — the approach and timing matter significantly.
Does the 9% corporate tax apply to free zone companies in 2026? +
Free zone companies can qualify for the 0% rate as Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs), but the conditions are strict: economic substance in the free zone, income from qualifying activities, and non-qualifying income below 5% of total revenue or AED 5 million. Most businesses should verify QFZP eligibility with a tax advisor before their first corporate tax filing.
Our investor wants audited financials and we have never done an audit — how long does it take? +
A first-time audit for a small-to-medium UAE company typically takes 4–8 weeks with organised books. If significant clean-up is needed first, budget 2–3 months total. Start as early as possible — investors rarely accommodate last-minute delays. Clean, reconciled books before the auditor arrives can halve the timeline.
We hired two part-time staff — do we need WPS compliance? +
Yes. WPS (Wage Protection System) is mandatory for all employees registered with MOHRE, including part-time staff. You need to register employees, use a WPS-compatible bank account, and submit salary files within 10 days of the agreed pay date. Non-compliance can trigger an MOHRE hiring ban, which halts your ability to sponsor new visas entirely.
Is there a small business corporate tax relief — we made AED 800K this year? +
Yes. Small Business Relief (SBR) is available for businesses with revenue up to AED 3 million per tax period through December 31, 2026. If eligible, you can elect for 0% corporate tax. However, SBR is not available if you are a Qualifying Free Zone Person or part of a multinational group. Confirm eligibility with a tax advisor before your first CT filing.
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and a managed accounting service? +
A bookkeeper records transactions. A managed accounting service covers the full financial back-office: VAT returns, corporate tax filing, payroll, management reports, FTA compliance, and proactive tax planning. For businesses above AED 500K revenue, a full managed service typically pays for itself by preventing penalties and optimising tax positions that a basic bookkeeper would not catch.
The FTA sent us an audit notice — what do we do now? +
Do not respond alone. FTA audits are formal legal proceedings and your initial response sets the tone for the entire review. Engage a tax advisor immediately to review your VAT returns, organise supporting documents, and prepare your audit file. Most audits complete within 6–12 weeks. Proactive co-operation almost always results in better outcomes than being defensive or slow to respond.
