DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) is one of the UAE’s most active free zones, home to a wide range of trading, commodities and services businesses, each with their own accounting, VAT, Corporate Tax and annual audit obligations. Our DMCC Accounting Services cover the full picture for DMCC-licensed companies, backed by our approved-auditor status directly with DMCC.
What's Included
Bookkeeping and financial statement preparation tailored to DMCC’s requirements, VAT and Corporate Tax compliance including QFZP assessment, and audited financial statements prepared and submitted through the DMCC portal using our approved-auditor status.
For DMCC’s substantial base of commodity trading businesses specifically, we bring experience with inventory valuation, hedging and cross-border transaction considerations common to that sector.
We also keep track of any changes DMCC makes to its audit submission process or portal requirements, so returning clients are never caught out by a procedural change between one renewal and the next.
Why DMCC-Specific Experience Matters
DMCC sets its own audit submission format and renewal timeline, distinct from other free zones, and only accepts audits from firms on its approved-auditor list. Working with a firm that already knows DMCC’s specific process removes the risk of a rejected submission over a formatting or procedural issue.
Our ongoing DMCC engagement also means we generally already hold your prior year’s working papers and background on file, which tends to make each subsequent year’s compliance faster than the first.
Who Needs This Service
Any DMCC-licensed company needing accounting, bookkeeping, VAT, Corporate Tax or audit support, from newly licensed businesses through to established commodity traders.
What We'll Need From You
Your DMCC trade licence, financial records, and your licence renewal date so we can plan our engagement around your specific timeline.
Getting Started
Share your DMCC trade licence and renewal date, and we will confirm exactly what your business needs and by when.
DMCC Licence Renewal Timeline
DMCC ties its audit submission requirement to your licence renewal date, and we plan our engagement backward from that date, giving comfortable time to resolve any documentation gap before the deadline arrives.
Working With Your DMCC Company Secretary
Where your DMCC renewal is coordinated by a company secretary or PRO, we work directly alongside them to align our accounting and audit timeline with the rest of your renewal documentation.
DMCC Fees and Engagement Structure
DMCC accounting, tax and audit fees are quoted as a fixed amount based on your entity’s size, transaction volume and record quality, agreed with you before work begins so there are no surprises once the engagement starts.
DMCC Company Types We Support
DMCC licenses a wide range of company types, from single-shareholder trading entities to larger commodity trading and services businesses, and we scope our approach to match — a straightforward small entity doesn’t need the same depth as a high-volume commodities trader.
Whatever category your DMCC licence falls under, we confirm the applicable accounting and compliance scope with you before quoting, so the fee reflects your actual business.
DMCC and Corporate Tax Free Zone Qualifying Activities
DMCC’s substantial commodity trading and services base means many clients need careful assessment of which specific activities qualify for the 0% Corporate Tax rate. We apply this assessment specifically to the qualifying activity categories most relevant to DMCC businesses.
DMCC Free Zone Company Setup Support
For businesses newly licensed in DMCC, we can begin supporting your accounting and compliance from day one, setting up bookkeeping processes and confirming your VAT and Corporate Tax registration timelines immediately rather than waiting until a first deadline approaches.
If you already have a renewal date in mind, mentioning it upfront helps us prioritise your engagement correctly against our other DMCC clients’ deadlines that same period.
DMCC Free Zone Banking and Compliance Coordination
DMCC companies opening or maintaining UAE bank accounts often need up-to-date financial statements and compliance evidence, and we ensure your accounting is always current enough to support these banking requirements without delay.
