Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Soft Power Audit & Tax Agency provide?
Soft Power Audit & Tax Agency provides audit, tax and accounting services in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE, including statutory and internal audits, bookkeeping, VAT registration and filing, Corporate Tax registration and filing, accounting supervision, ICV consultation, and liquidation services.
Who needs a statutory audit in Abu Dhabi?
A statutory audit may be required when a company's licence, Memorandum of Association, applicable regulations, free zone requirements, or a stakeholder such as a bank or investor requires audited financial statements. The exact requirement depends on the company's legal structure and applicable authority.
Is Corporate Tax registration mandatory in the UAE?
Yes, where the business falls within the UAE Corporate Tax regime. Taxable persons generally need to register with the Federal Tax Authority and obtain a Corporate Tax registration number.
When is Corporate Tax filing due?
For most businesses, the UAE Corporate Tax return and any Corporate Tax payable are due within 9 months from the end of the relevant tax period. For example, a business with a financial year ending 31 December would generally have a 30 September deadline.
What is the VAT registration threshold in the UAE?
Mandatory VAT registration generally applies when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000. Voluntary VAT registration may be available when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 187,500.
How much does bookkeeping cost in Abu Dhabi?
Bookkeeping fees depend on transaction volume, number of bank accounts, business complexity, and reporting frequency. We assess your requirements before providing a clear fee proposal.
Can you help with VAT penalties?
Yes. We can review the circumstances behind VAT penalties, assess previous filings, assist with applicable FTA penalty reconsideration or correction procedures, and recommend controls to help prevent recurring compliance issues.
What is ICV Certification?
In-Country Value (ICV) certification measures the economic value a business contributes to the UAE. It can be important for suppliers participating in certain ADNOC and government-related procurement and tender processes.
Do free zone companies need Corporate Tax registration?
Yes. Free zone companies are generally required to register for UAE Corporate Tax and comply with applicable filing requirements. A qualifying Free Zone Person may be eligible for a 0% Corporate Tax rate on qualifying income if all relevant conditions are satisfied.
What documents are required for an audit?
Common audit documents include the trade licence, Memorandum of Association, trial balance, general ledger, bank statements and reconciliations, sales and purchase invoices, payroll records, lease agreements, loan documents, VAT returns, fixed asset schedules, and inventory records.
How long does a statutory audit take?
A statutory audit for a small or medium-sized business with complete and properly maintained accounting records may take approximately 1 to 3 weeks for audit fieldwork. The overall timeline can vary depending on business complexity and document availability.
Why is bookkeeping important for a business?
Accurate bookkeeping provides the financial records needed for tax compliance, VAT filing, audits, and management reporting. It also helps businesses monitor cash flow, profitability, receivables, payables, and financial performance.
Do you provide accounting services outside Abu Dhabi?
Yes. We provide accounting, bookkeeping, audit, tax, and related services to businesses across the UAE, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and the northern emirates.
Can you take over from our current accountant or auditor?
Yes. We can assist with the transition from an existing accountant or auditor by reviewing available records, identifying outstanding accounting or compliance matters, and coordinating the handover.
How quickly will I receive a response?
We aim to respond to client queries within the same business day during our working hours. Each engagement can also have a dedicated consultant as the main point of contact.
Ready to stay compliant?
Bookkeeping, VAT filing, corporate tax registration or a statutory audit — our consultants respond the same business day.
