French Accounting Services in Dubai: A Solution for Francophone Entrepreneurs

Setting up a business in Dubai as a Francophone entrepreneur is an exciting opportunity, but accounting and tax management can quickly become a challenge. With local tax obligations and differences from French-speaking accounting systems, finding French accounting services in Dubai can be a game-changer for your business. Here’s why and how to choose the right accounting partner.

1. Why Choose a French Accounting Service in Dubai?

While English is widely used in the UAE, working with a French-speaking accountant offers several advantages:

✔ Clear and fluent communication: No need to translate technical terms or risk misunderstandings.

Companies registered in Dubai must comply with several accounting and tax regulations, including:

Maintaining records under IFRS standards and keeping financial documents for at least 5 years.
Mandatory VAT registration (5%) for businesses with an annual turnover of more than AED 375,000.
Corporate Tax (9%) applicable to companies with taxable profits exceeding AED 375,000.

Failure to comply with these obligations can lead to significant financial penalties.

✅ VAT and tax filing: Assistance with registration and filing with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
✅ Tax optimization and advisory to structure your business efficiently and maximize profits.
