JAFZA (Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority) hosts a large base of logistics, industrial, trading and manufacturing businesses, often with meaningful inventory, fixed assets and import-export activity that need specific accounting attention. Our JAFZA Accounting Services cover bookkeeping, VAT, Corporate Tax and audit for JAFZA-licensed companies, backed by our approved-auditor status directly with JAFZA.
What's Included
Bookkeeping and financial statement preparation reflecting JAFZA companies’ typical inventory and fixed-asset complexity, VAT and Corporate Tax compliance including QFZP assessment, and audited financial statements prepared and submitted through JAFZA’s designated channel using our approved-auditor status.
For JAFZA’s logistics and industrial clients specifically, we bring relevant experience with warehousing, fleet and equipment accounting alongside standard compliance work.
We also keep track of any changes JAFZA makes to its audit submission process, so returning clients are never caught out by a procedural change between one renewal and the next.
Why JAFZA-Specific Experience Matters
JAFZA sets its own audit and renewal requirements, and only accepts submissions from approved auditors on its own list. Working with a firm already familiar with JAFZA’s specific process, and with genuine experience in the inventory-heavy businesses common there, avoids both a rejected submission and generic advice that misses your sector’s real complexity.
Holding your prior year’s working papers on file from an earlier engagement also tends to make each subsequent JAFZA compliance cycle faster to complete than the first.
Who Needs This Service
Any JAFZA-licensed company needing accounting, bookkeeping, VAT, Corporate Tax or audit support, particularly logistics, industrial and trading businesses.
What We'll Need From You
Your JAFZA trade licence, financial records, and your licence renewal date so we can plan our engagement around your specific timeline.
Getting Started
Share your JAFZA trade licence and renewal date, and we will confirm exactly what your business needs and by when.
JAFZA Licence Renewal Timeline
JAFZA ties its submission requirement to your licence renewal date, and we plan our engagement backward from that deadline so there’s comfortable time to resolve any documentation gap before it arrives.
Working With Your JAFZA Company Secretary
Where your JAFZA renewal is coordinated by a company secretary or PRO, we work directly alongside them to keep our accounting and audit timeline aligned with the rest of your renewal paperwork.
JAFZA Fees and Engagement Structure
JAFZA accounting, tax and audit fees are quoted as a fixed amount based on your entity’s size, inventory complexity and record quality, agreed with you before work begins.
JAFZA Company Types We Support
JAFZA licenses a broad mix of logistics, manufacturing, trading and services companies, often with meaningful fixed assets, inventory and import-export activity, and we bring testing and reporting appropriate to these balances rather than treating every JAFZA client identically.
Whatever category your JAFZA licence falls under, we confirm the applicable accounting and compliance scope with you before quoting, so the fee reflects your actual operations.
JAFZA and Corporate Tax Free Zone Qualifying Activities
JAFZA’s logistics and industrial base means many clients need careful assessment of which specific activities qualify for the 0% Corporate Tax rate, particularly around distribution and logistics-related qualifying activities.
JAFZA Free Zone Company Setup Support
For businesses newly licensed in JAFZA, we can begin supporting your accounting and compliance from day one, setting up bookkeeping processes suited to your specific logistics or industrial activity from the outset.
If you already have a renewal date in mind, mentioning it upfront helps us prioritise your engagement correctly against our other JAFZA clients’ deadlines that same period.
JAFZA Free Zone Banking and Compliance Coordination
JAFZA 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.
