UAE accounting, VAT and corporate tax - what to file and when

Most UAE companies need books plus VAT and/or corporate-tax filings when rules apply - even when tax due may be zero. Lexoford runs bookkeeping and filing coordination; we are not a law firm and do not guarantee bank or visa outcomes. Formation packages AED 4,999 / 5,999 / 9,999 are service fees only and are separate from accounting retainers.

Frequently asked questions

Does “zero tax” mean I can skip filings?

No. Registration and filing duties can still apply even when the amount payable is zero. What you must file depends on your facts - confirm with a qualified advisor for your case.

Is accounting included in AED 4,999 formation packages?

No. AED 4,999 / 5,999 / 9,999 are Lexoford company-formation service fees only. Bookkeeping, VAT, and corporate-tax retainers are quoted separately. Free-zone and government fees are at cost when they appear on a formation quote.

Can you take over messy books?

Yes. We can help reconstruct and reconcile, then move to a monthly or quarterly routine. Scope and timeline go in writing before work starts.
