FAQ

Who needs VAT transaction review support?

Any UAE business that wants confidence in its bookkeeping before filing VAT returns—especially those in Dubai, Ajman, and other Emirates with growing transaction volumes or recent accounting system changes.

How long does a review typically take?

Timing depends on scope and dataset size. A small monthly review can take a few days; larger periods or full-year reviews take longer. We provide an estimated timeline with each quote.

Do you make the bookkeeping corrections?

We provide recommended journal entries and can assist or guide your accounting team to implement them. Implementation can be included if agreed in scope.

Will this ensure compliance with UAE VAT rules?

A bookkeeping-side review significantly reduces errors and improves preparedness for VAT filing. It is not a substitute for final filing checks or formal tax advice; we identify and recommend corrective actions for your accounting records.

What documents do you need?

Typical items: general ledger exports, sales and purchase sub-ledgers, VAT control account report, sample invoices and import documentation.
