In one line

At Par keeps your UAE company's books closed and reconciled, prepares your VAT returns and your 9% corporate-tax return, gets your books ready for e-invoicing, and answers your finance questions — with a qualified accountant (ACCA) accountable. At Par prepares; you authorize and file through your own EmaraTax account. It never moves your money.

In the UAE

What At Par handles for you.

Your UAE corporate tax return is coming — is your file ready?

Corporate tax is 9% on taxable profit above AED 375,000. For a year ending 31 December 2025, the return is due 30 September 2026, filed through EmaraTax.

At Par closes your books for the period, prepares the return and the reconciled figures behind it, and flags whether Small Business Relief may apply — for you or your tax agent to confirm. You file through your own EmaraTax account: At Par prepares, you authorize.

By 31 Jul 2026 If your business's first tax period ends 31 December 2025 and you registered late, filing that first return within seven months of period end — by 31 July 2026 — can waive the AED 10,000 late-registration penalty. (An established calendar-year business's first return was due earlier — At Par checks where you actually stand.)

Rules current as of 26 July 2026. Source: UAE Federal Tax Authority (tax.gov.ae). Confirm your own dates and eligibility with the FTA or your tax agent.

How does UAE e-invoicing work — and what does At Par do about it?

The UAE is rolling out Peppol-based e-invoicing: a voluntary phase live since July 2026, then mandatory from 1 January 2027 for larger businesses (revenue AED 50 million and above) and from 1 July 2027 for smaller businesses.

At Par is not an accredited service provider (ASP) — your ASP transmits the invoice. What At Par does is make sure your books, your tax-registration details and your invoice data are clean and complete, so the handoff to your ASP works and your reporting reconciles.

Timeline current as of 26 July 2026. Source: UAE Ministry of Finance / FTA (Ministerial Decisions 243 & 244 of 2025). Verify the phase dates that apply to you.

On the mainland or in a free zone — is your file ready either way?

Free-zone companies can qualify for 0% corporate tax on qualifying income and 9% on the rest, if they meet the Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions.

At Par keeps your books so the split holds up — qualifying versus non-qualifying income, clean records, the substance behind the numbers. Whether you're in DMCC, IFZA, Meydan or on the mainland in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, you (or your tax agent) confirm your status; At Par prepares the books that stand behind it.

Already on QuickBooks, Xero or Zoho? At Par reviews and closes over it.

You don't switch systems. At Par connects to the books you already keep, reviews them, reconciles the exceptions and closes each month — so month-end is correct, not a question mark.

That's the gap most owners feel: the software moves the data, but nobody stands behind the result. At Par does — checked twice, an ACCA accountable.

Show, don't tell

One document in. Recorded, with its evidence.
