German-speaking accountant in Dubai

Who is behind the firm?

Your contact is Metin, our managing director. He trained in business law with a focus on tax and has worked in Germany and the Emirates for more than ten years. Together with his team he looks after more than 100 German-speaking companies in the UAE.

The firm began as Buchhaltung Dubai, which is still the name on our Google profile and our licence. Accounting Dubai is the same team, the same licence and the same standards, for clients who prefer to read and write in English. If you would rather read everything in German, the German site is at buchhaltung-dubai.de.

Why choose a German-speaking accountant in Dubai?

The UAE rules are written in English and Arabic, and the filings with the Federal Tax Authority are in English too. That part does not change. What a German-speaking accountant changes is everything around it.

• You can discuss a Corporate Tax question in your own language, without guessing what a term means in the other one.
• We know the questions that come with a move from Germany, Austria or Switzerland, for example which UAE documents your adviser at home will ask for.
• We work to the standards German-speaking founders expect: complete records, clear monthly reports and deadlines that we chase, not you.
• You choose the language: German, English or both in the same conversation.

What do we handle for you?

Everything on the UAE side of your company, in free zones and on the mainland.

• Monthly bookkeeping with P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reports
• VAT registration and the quarterly VAT return, included in every plan
• Corporate Tax registration, Small Business Relief check and the annual return
• Financial statements and audit preparation
• Payroll and WPS, goAML registration, company liquidation

What does it cost?

Three fixed monthly plans, each with VAT filing included and monthly cancellation: Economy AED 990 for up to 10 bank transactions, Gold AED 1,250 for 11 to 25 and VIP AED 1,490 for 26 to 50. Above 50 transactions a month we quote a fixed enterprise price.

Single services without a plan: VAT registration AED 1,500 and Corporate Tax registration AED 1,000, each one-off. All prices are plus 5% VAT.

What about my tax position in Germany, Austria or Switzerland?

That belongs with a tax adviser in your home country, and we say so openly. Questions like exit taxation or whether you still count as resident at home are decided under that country’s law.

What we provide is the UAE side your adviser needs: clean accounts, the Corporate Tax and VAT filings, and support with documents such as the UAE tax residency certificate.
