Everything a New UAE Business Needs from Day One

Common Startup Accounting Mistakes — Avoided

❌

Mixing Personal and Business Finances

One of the most common and damaging startup mistakes. Profitrack sets up clear account structures from day one, keeping your personal and business funds completely separate.

❌

Missing VAT Registration Deadlines

Many startups cross the AED 375,000 VAT threshold without realising it. We monitor your turnover and register you at exactly the right time, avoiding the AED 20,000 late registration penalty.

❌

Poor Record Keeping from the Start

Disorganised records make audits expensive, due diligence difficult, and tax returns error-prone. Clean books from day one save thousands in future accounting and audit fees.

❌

Ignoring Corporate Tax Requirements

All UAE businesses must register for CT — even new ones. Profitrack ensures you're registered on time and advise on structure to optimise your CT position as you scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

VAT registration becomes mandatory when your taxable supplies in any 12-month period exceed AED 375,000. You can voluntarily register if supplies exceed AED 187,500. Registering early can be beneficial if you have significant VAT on startup costs that you want to recover. Profitrack assesses your specific situation and advises on the optimal timing.

Yes. All UAE businesses must register for Corporate Tax, including newly incorporated startups. For new businesses, registration must be completed within 3 months of incorporation. The penalty for late registration is AED 10,000. Profitrack handles this as part of your startup accounting setup package.
