Accounting, IFRS and Corporate Tax Advisory Support for the UAE
WDS provides UAE businesses with outsourced accounting, IFRS reporting and corporate tax readiness support delivered remotely from Pakistan, and helps UAE investors set up and operate companies in Pakistan.
How does the regulatory environment in United Arab Emirates affect your finance function?
The UAE introduced federal corporate tax at a headline rate of 9 percent for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023, alongside the 5 percent VAT introduced in 2018. Businesses that previously needed only basic bookkeeping now need IFRS financial statements, transfer pricing documentation and tax-ready records.
Many groups operating between Pakistan and the Gulf also need consistent reporting across both jurisdictions, which is where a firm familiar with both sets of rules adds value.
UAE statutory audits and FTA tax filings are completed by locally registered auditors and tax agents. WDS supports the underlying accounting, reporting and readiness work.
