Frequently Asked Questions

Accounting firms in UAE provide a wide range of financial services including bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, payroll processing, VAT registration and filing, Corporate Income Tax (CIT) compliance, audit and assurance, internal audit, business advisory, feasibility studies, business valuation, fractional CFO services and AML compliance support. A full-service firm like Edge Management Consultancies handles all of these under one roof.
The best tax consultants in UAE are those registered with the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and certified professionals with experience in UAE VAT law (Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017) and Corporate Income Tax (Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022). Edge Management Consultancies is an FTA-registered tax agency serving businesses across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all UAE free zones.
Yes, VAT registration is mandatory for businesses in the UAE with annual taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000. Voluntary registration is available for businesses with taxable supplies above AED 187,500. The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%, introduced on 1 January 2018 under Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017. Non-compliance with UAE VAT obligations can result in penalties from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
UAE Corporate Income Tax (CIT) was introduced under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 and applies to financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. The standard CIT rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. A 0% rate applies to taxable income up to AED 375,000. Free zone businesses may qualify for a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet specific conditions. All UAE businesses must register for CIT regardless of whether they have taxable income.
Auditing services in UAE involve an independent examination of a company's financial records to verify their accuracy, completeness and compliance with accounting standards and UAE regulations. Audits are legally required for: all companies registered on the UAE mainland, free zone companies where the free zone authority mandates it and businesses applying for bank financing or investor funding. Auditing services in UAE are conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and UAE Commercial Companies Law.
Yes, most free zone companies in UAE are required to submit annual audited financial statements to their respective free zone authority. Requirements vary by free zone — for example, DMCC, JAFZA, DAFZA and ADGM all mandate annual audits by approved auditors. Even where not strictly mandated, having audited financials is essential for bank account maintenance, visa processing and maintaining business credibility.
To register for VAT in UAE, businesses must submit an application through the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) portal at eservices.tax.gov.ae. You will need your trade licence, Emirates ID of the owner/directors, bank account details, financial records showing annual turnover and details of business activities. Registration must be completed before taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000. Edge Management Consultancies provides end-to-end VAT registration support and manages all FTA correspondence on your behalf.
An internal audit in UAE is conducted by an in-house or outsourced team to evaluate a company's internal controls, risk management and operational efficiency — it is not legally required but is highly recommended for governance. An external audit (statutory audit) is conducted by an independent, licensed audit firm to provide an objective opinion on the accuracy of financial statements — this is legally required for most UAE businesses and free zone companies. Edge Management Consultancies provides both services.
AML (Anti-Money Laundering) compliance in UAE refers to the policies, procedures and controls businesses must implement to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, in accordance with UAE Federal Law No. 20 of 2018 and CBUAE AML regulations. Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) — including real estate agents, accountants, auditors, dealers in precious metals and legal professionals — are specifically required to have AML programmes in place, register with go AML and submit Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs).
Yes. As an FTA-registered tax agency, Edge Management Consultancies is authorised to represent businesses before the Federal Tax Authority in tax audits, assessments, reconsideration requests and tax dispute resolution. Our tax consultants prepare audit responses, manage FTA correspondence and advocate for fair outcomes on your behalf — minimising penalties and protecting your business interests.
The UAE does not have a separate set of national accounting standards. Most businesses in the UAE are required to prepare financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB. IFRS for SMEs may be used by eligible smaller entities. Financial institutions and listed companies in the UAE must fully comply with IFRS as adopted in the UAE. Edge Management Consultancies prepares all financial statements in full IFRS compliance.
Opening a corporate bank account in UAE typically takes 3–8 weeks depending on the bank, the nature of the business and the completeness of documentation submitted. Major UAE banks including Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB and Mashreq require extensive KYC documentation, source of funds evidence and business plans. Edge Management Consultancies expedites this process through established banking relationships and expert document preparation.
A Fractional CFO (Chief Financial Officer) is a senior financial expert who works with your business on a part-time or project basis, providing CFO-level leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. UAE businesses benefit from a Fractional CFO when they need financial modelling, investor reporting, fundraising support, cash flow management, or board-level financial guidance — but are not yet at the stage where a full-time CFO is economically justified. Edge Management's Fractional CFO service scales with your growth stage.
Yes. Edge Management Consultancies is a fully licensed business consultancy and financial services firm operating in the UAE. The firm is registered with the relevant UAE licensing authorities and is an FTA-registered tax agency authorised to provide tax advisory, VAT services and CIT compliance services to businesses across the UAE.
