What people say.

From founders, finance directors, and family-business owners who handed us the paperwork and got their evenings back.

They registered our DMCC entity for VAT in five days, including a tricky free-zone classification question. Replied to messages on a Friday night, which still surprises me.

We migrated three years of bookkeeping in two weeks. They found AED 38,000 of recoverable input VAT we'd written off. Paid for itself ten times over.

CFO · Gulf Trading Co

Corporate Tax was confusing — we got conflicting answers from three other firms. VAT Masters wrote a one-page memo that actually answered the question. Worth every dirham.

I've been audited twice in fifteen years in Dubai. Both times by VAT Masters. Both times unremarkable. Which is the highest praise an audit can get.

— 05 / FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need to register for VAT?
Yes, if your taxable supplies and imports over the past twelve months exceeded AED 375,000, or are expected to exceed it within the next thirty days. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500 — useful when you want to recover input VAT on operating costs.
What's changed with Corporate Tax in 2025?
All UAE businesses with a commercial licence must now register for Corporate Tax regardless of turnover. The 9% rate applies to taxable income above AED 375,000. Free Zone Persons may qualify for a 0% rate on Qualifying Income, but registration is still mandatory. First returns for FY2024 are due by 30 September 2025.
How quickly can you start?
For VAT registration we typically begin within 24 hours of receiving documents. Routine quarterly filings start the day we have your reconciled books. Audit and CFO engagements have a one-week onboarding before recurring work begins.
What documents will I need?
Trade licence, MOA, Emirates ID and passport copies of authorised signatories, last twelve months' bank statements, and a description of your business activities. For Free Zone entities we also need the Free Zone licence. We send a tailored checklist after the consultation.
Are your fees fixed?
Yes. Every engagement has a written, fixed-fee scope. We don't bill hourly. If the scope expands materially we issue a change order in writing — no surprises on the invoice.
Do you serve clients outside Dubai?
Yes — across all seven emirates. The work is done remotely with secure document exchange. Clients in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, RAK, Ajman, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain are served the same way as those in Dubai.
