Accounting and Bookkeeping Policies in Dubai

The UAE has its own set of GAAP accounting principles. The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) is in charge of maintaining these standards. The GAAP principles apply to all the UAE government entities and state-owned companies. The accounting standards of the UAE are based on the following principles: Income is recognised when it is realised or realisable. Expenses are recognised when they are incurred. Revenue is recognised when it is earned. You should measure assets and liabilities at fair value, except for financial instruments and leases. These are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rates. Running your own business in Dubai is a fun challenge. However, it can also be a struggle when it comes to accounting and bookkeeping. Here are five policies you need to follow:

Record Keeping Policy

Under the UAE Federal Law, you should keep your financial records and statements. You must ensure those records are intact for at least five years. The Ministry of Finance recommends keeping records for ten years to prove tax compliance.

Cash Receipts

Transactions of up to AED 1,000 need evidence supported by a receipt. Receipts must be in the name of the business. They must include the date of issue, signature of the person issuing the receipt, and recipient.

You must also indicate the amount and nature of the transaction. The details are essential for proof of transactions. They also improve accounting accuracy.

Bank Transactions

All bank transactions need the support of a bank statement. The statement must include the date of the transaction and the name and address of the business receiving the funds. You also need to include the amount and nature of the transaction.

Companies can keep an electronic record of the statements. Keeping these records helps in accurately preparing an annual budget and profit and loss accounts.

VAT Returns

Businesses operating in UAE must comply with Value Added Tax (VAT) regime, effected on January 1st 2018. The new tax applies to all companies in UAE, whether your services are local or outside UAE.

Businesses are required to register for VAT if they meet the eligibility criteria. Taxes in Dubai can be a complex matter. As such, your business should adopt a VAT Return Policy that makes sense. It should be in line with industry best practices.

Other Supporting Documents

Other supporting documents include invoices, credit notes and contracts. Also, include bank statements for businesses that are not registered for VAT.

The above documents should be in their original form. Copies of the documents are not acceptable.
