Accounting & Bookkeeping

Day-to-day books, management reporting and clean records that keep every UAE filing — VAT, Corporate Tax and audit — straightforward, with MHBC as your single point of contact.

The obligation

UAE businesses are required to keep proper accounting records and supporting documents. Under the Corporate Tax Law these records must be retained for at least seven years, and VAT-registered businesses must keep records that substantiate every return.

A Corporate Tax computation, a VAT return or an audit is only as reliable as the books beneath it — accurate records are the foundation every other obligation depends on.
