Abu Dhabi Accounting Services: What People Ask
Yes. UAE Corporate Tax and VAT record-keeping obligations apply regardless of business size, and there is no SME exemption from the requirement to maintain proper accounting records. A chartered accountant or CA firm in Abu Dhabi helps ensure the books support your tax filings and hold up if the FTA asks for documentation.
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of transactions, invoices and bank activity. Accounting builds on that data to produce management accounts, VAT and Corporate Tax filings, and financial statements. Most Abu Dhabi businesses need both working together, which is why BCL Globiz delivers them as one service rather than two separate engagements.
Yes. ADGM operates under English common law with its own regulator, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), and its own annual accounts filing obligations, on top of standard UAE VAT and Corporate Tax requirements. Mainland Abu Dhabi companies are licensed through ADDED and follow the same federal VAT and Corporate Tax framework without the additional ADGM filings.
Yes. Federal VAT law applies to free zone and mainland companies alike once registration thresholds are met. Certain KEZAD areas hold VAT Designated Zone status, which gives special treatment to movements of goods between designated zones, but this does not extend to services or to sales into mainland UAE. Masdar City and twofour54 are not designated zones, so standard VAT rules apply in full.
Pricing depends on transaction volume, entity structure and whether payroll, VAT filing and audit support are included. BCL Globiz agrees a fixed monthly fee upfront based on the business, with no hidden charges. See the accounting and tax compliance pricing page for current packages.
