Do I need to register for UAE corporate tax?

Most UAE-resident businesses do, regardless of revenue. Free-zone entities have specific qualifying-income rules that change the picture. We assess your position and run the registration end to end.

Can ELIV8 take over from my current bookkeeper mid-year?

Yes. We run a structured handover. We reconcile to your last clean period and continue from there with no gap in your records or your filings.

What is the UAE corporate tax rate?

Nine percent on taxable profits above AED 375,000 for most businesses, with a zero-percent rate on qualifying free-zone income. The fine print is what matters; we walk you through it before any decision.

Do you handle the audit too, or just the books?

Bookkeeping and financial statements sit in Accounting & Tax. Statutory audit coordination sits in Compliance. Same team, same engagement, no handoff friction.

ACCOUNTING & TAX

What ELIV8 accounting & tax delivers.

Accounting and tax done right is invisible. Books accurate. Filings on time. Payroll going out on the day it is supposed to. ELIV8 stands behind that boring outcome. We register you with the FTA, run monthly bookkeeping, prepare your VAT and corporate tax filings, produce IFRS-aligned financial statements ready for audit, and handle WPS-compliant payroll. You get a dedicated advisor who knows your file, picks up the phone, and tells you what to do next.

Why ELIV8 for accounting & tax

Built for the way UAE businesses actually run.

FTA-aware on every filing

Every VAT and corporate tax submission is prepared and reviewed against current FTA expectations, so penalties for misclassification or late filing stop being a thing you worry about.

A dedicated advisor

You are not handed off to a queue. The same accountant who onboarded you runs your monthly close, prepares your filings, and replies when you have a question. They know your file.

Audit-ready by default

Bookkeeping is structured so your records are always one step away from auditor-ready. When audit season comes, there is no scramble and no clean-up bill.
