Accounting, VAT and corporate tax FAQs for UAE businesses
Peko provides outsourced accounting and bookkeeping for UAE businesses: monthly bank and card reconciliation, VAT registration and return preparation, corporate tax registration and return preparation, coordination with your external auditor, budgeting and financial reporting. Each account gets a dedicated accountant working alongside AI-powered bookkeeping, with integrations for Zoho Books, QuickBooks and Wafeq.
Peko's accounting plans start at AED 499 a month, excluding 5% VAT. Starter (AED 499) covers up to 50 invoices, monthly reconciliation and 4 accountant meetings. Growth (AED 999) covers up to 100 invoices and 200 expenses, weekly reconciliation, VAT registration and return preparation, and 12 meetings. Enterprise (AED 1,999) adds unlimited expenses and meetings, daily reconciliation on request and a finance expert. There are no hidden fees and you can cancel anytime.
Both. AI-powered bookkeeping captures and categorises your invoices and expenses, and a dedicated accountant reviews, reconciles and finalises your books every month. You meet your accountant regularly (4 meetings on Starter, 12 on Growth, unlimited on Enterprise) and can raise queries in between. Your accountant also prepares your VAT and corporate tax workings for your review and approval.
Yes. Every UAE company, including free zone companies, must register for corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority on EmaraTax, even if its profit is below the tax threshold. Taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0% and income above it at 9%. Missing the registration deadline carries an AED 10,000 penalty. Your dedicated accountant can prepare your corporate tax registration on EmaraTax with you.
Possibly, if your revenue is AED 3 million or less in the current and all previous tax periods. Small Business Relief applies to tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026 and lets eligible businesses be treated as having no taxable income. It is not available to Qualifying Free Zone Persons or members of large multinational groups. You must still register and file a return to elect it, and your dedicated accountant can check your eligibility.
The corporate tax return and any tax payable are due within 9 months of the end of your tax period. For a financial year ending 31 December 2025, the deadline is 30 September 2026. Peko keeps your books reconciled throughout the year, so your accountant can prepare the return from final figures rather than rushing a year-end catch-up.
VAT registration is mandatory once your taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 in the last 12 months, or are expected to in the next 30 days. You can register voluntarily from AED 187,500. Most businesses then file VAT returns quarterly, within 28 days of each period end. On Peko's Growth plan, your accountant prepares your VAT registration and quarterly returns from your reconciled books, ready to submit through your EmaraTax account.
Yes. Free zone companies in DMCC, JAFZA and other zones must keep proper accounting records and register for corporate tax. To keep the 0% rate as a Qualifying Free Zone Person, a company must prepare audited financial statements regardless of revenue. Other businesses need them once revenue exceeds AED 50 million. Peko keeps your books audit-ready and coordinates with your licensed external auditor; the audit itself must be performed by a licensed audit firm.
E-invoicing becomes mandatory in phases. Businesses with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026 and go live on 1 January 2027. Businesses below AED 50 million must appoint one by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027. Clean, structured bookkeeping now makes the switch far easier, and your accountant can help you prepare.
Log in to Peko, select Accounting, choose a plan and start uploading your expenses and invoices. Your dedicated accountant is then assigned to set up your books. For help, contact help@peko.one, call +971 4 251 5354, message us on WhatsApp, or use the Contact Us section on the platform.
Peko's accounting service covers bookkeeping and the preparation of your VAT and corporate tax registrations and returns, which you submit through your own EmaraTax account. Representation before the Federal Tax Authority, for example in a tax audit or a reconsideration request, requires a registered tax agent. Your business remains responsible for its tax obligations, and for legal opinions or complex tax positions you should seek independent professional advice.
