Al Safawi keeps the books straight for businesses across the UAE — from daily bookkeeping to VAT, corporate tax and audit, handled by one accountable team.
Bookkeeping gets treated as a month-end chore — so by filing season, entries are missing, reconciliations are late, and no one has a clear read on where the business stands.
Mainland, free zone, and cross-emirate operations each carry their own filing rules — many businesses end up coordinating separate consultants per licence, with no one owning the full picture.
VAT, corporate tax, ESR, UBO — the obligations keep expanding, and a missed deadline carries a real penalty, not a warning.
Al Safawi exists to close that gap — one ledger, one team, every obligation tracked before it becomes a problem.

Corporate tax registration felt overwhelming until they walked us through exactly what applied to us and handled the filing end to end.

We used to juggle three different consultants for our licences across Dubai and Sharjah. Al Safawi took over all of it and our VAT filings haven’t been late since.

Ask us directly →Free zone companies follow the same VAT registration threshold as mainland companies — registration is mandatory once taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000 in a 12-month period, regardless of free zone or mainland status. Some Qualifying Free Zone Persons have separate corporate tax treatment, which is worth reviewing separately.
Yes. VAT and corporate tax are federal (FTA) obligations that apply the same way across all seven emirates, so a single accounting team can manage filings for a business regardless of which emirate it's licensed in, as long as the firm is familiar with each emirate's mainland and free zone nuances.
The FTA applies fixed and escalating penalties for late VAT and corporate tax filings or payments, starting from a fixed fine and increasing the longer the filing remains outstanding. Consistent bookkeeping through the year is what keeps a business ahead of these deadlines rather than reacting to them.
