Accounting that keeps you clear of FTA fines

Most fines we fix come from one missed date. We put every deadline on our calendar and prepare every return in time for your approval, so you never have to think about it.

AED 10,000

Fine for registering late for corporate tax. Every company must register, even with no profit.

AED 375,000

Sales in 12 months that make VAT registration mandatory within 30 days.

9%

Corporate tax on profit above AED 375,000. Below that 0%, but you still file.

28 days

After each VAT period to file and pay. We prepare it as soon as your month closes.

Switching from another accountant?

We collect your records from them, check what was filed, fix any gaps and take over from the next month. You don't have to chase anyone.

Business setup

Opened a company in Dubai, then came back for a second

★★★★★
“I contacted many Italians in Dubai, but only they were truly transparent about pricing… They accompanied me through biometrics and managed the entire process to obtain my Emirates ID and driving license… after our first business, we decided to open a second with their support.”

Accounting & VAT

Switched to us after a fine with a freelance accountant

★★★★★
“Before this, I was working with a freelance accountant, and unfortunately, that led to a fine… Yes, I pay a bit more, but in the long run, it’s been a huge saving.”

Questions we answer every day

Straight answers about business setup, accounting and tax in Dubai.

What does 800 Business do?

800 Business LLC is a Dubai firm that sets up companies in the UAE Free Zones and on the mainland, then keeps them compliant: accounting and bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax returns, visas, bank account opening, company closure and government paperwork. Clients come from the UAE and abroad, including many from Italy.

How much does business setup in Dubai cost?

It depends on the Free Zone or mainland choice, your activities, the number of visas and shareholders, and whether you already live in the UAE. Our cost calculator matches you with the right Free Zone in 2 minutes, and on a free 30-minute call we give you the exact cost, line by line, in writing.

How long does it take to set up a company in Dubai?

Your business licence is usually ready in 5 working days. With residence visa, medical test and Emirates ID, the full process takes about 15 working days if you are in Dubai. See business setup in Dubai.

How can your service charge be zero?

When you open a Free Zone company through us, the Free Zone pays us a commission for bringing you. That covers our setup work, so with our basic package you pay only the official government and Free Zone fees, wherever you live. We still book your medical test and fingerprints and deliver your Emirates ID. If you want us to do more, such as opening your bank account or driving you to your appointments, you choose a fuller package. The cost calculator shows every option.

Do I need to live in Dubai to open a company?

No. You can open the company from abroad with online documents and e-signatures. You only come to the UAE for the medical test and Emirates ID fingerprints if you want a residence visa.

Do Dubai companies pay tax?

Every company must register for corporate tax: 0% on profit up to AED 375,000 and 9% above. VAT registration is required once taxable sales pass AED 375,000 in 12 months. We register you for both, prepare every return and send it to you for approval. See corporate tax in the UAE.

How much does accounting cost?

It depends mainly on how many bank transactions you have each month and whether you are VAT registered. We have three plans (Start, Grow and Scale). Bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, the monthly report and corporate tax are included in all of them. We confirm your exact monthly price on a free call. See accounting services in Dubai.

Can you help with visas and closing a company?

Yes. We arrange investor visas through your company, family (sponsor) visas for your spouse and children, employee visas and the UAE golden visa if you qualify. When it is time to stop, we handle company closure and liquidation, including the final tax returns and cancelling the licence. See corporate services.
