Abu Dhabi has a large base of contracting, trading, industrial and service businesses that work with government and semi-government clients. Those clients expect proper invoices, clear VAT treatment and, often, audited accounts. Our bookkeepers keep every invoice, retention and supplier payment recorded and reconciled, so your numbers hold up when a client, bank or auditor asks.
Everything is done online in Zoho Books, Xero or QuickBooks, so you can work with us from Abu Dhabi city, Al Ain or Al Dhafra without office visits.
VAT and Corporate Tax for Abu Dhabi companies
VAT and Corporate Tax are federal, so the same FTA rules apply in Abu Dhabi as in every other emirate. We register you on EmaraTax, file quarterly VAT returns from reconciled books, and prepare your annual Corporate Tax return with Small Business Relief and free-zone checks where they apply.
- VAT registration and quarterly VAT returns
- Corporate Tax registration and annual returns
- Payroll and WPS for site and office staff
- Audit-ready year-end accounts
ADGM and Abu Dhabi free-zone companies
ADGM entities file accounts under ADGM's own rules, and many need audited financial statements each year. Companies in KEZAD, Masdar City, twofour54 and other Abu Dhabi free zones also have to check whether their income qualifies for the 0% Corporate Tax rate. We keep your books in the shape your auditor and the FTA expect.
