Our services
Compliance & Legal
Compliance and legal in Dubai: trademark and IP, AML compliance, contracts and PRO or government liaison.
Compliance and legal work keeps a UAE company in good standing: corporate tax and VAT obligations, anti-money-laundering and UBO registers, economic substance where it applies, and trademark protection. Corporate tax at 9% and VAT at 5% both carry registration and filing duties that begin as soon as the thresholds are met.
Frequently asked questions
-
What ongoing compliance does a UAE company have?
Depending on activity, this can include corporate tax and VAT registration and returns, ultimate beneficial owner and anti-money-laundering filings, economic substance reporting, and annual licence renewal. We map the exact obligations that apply to your company.
-
What is UBO and do I need to file it?
Ultimate beneficial owner rules require most UAE companies to record and file who ultimately owns or controls the company. It is a standard part of incorporation and renewal, and we prepare and submit it for you.
-
How do I protect my brand in the UAE?
You register the trademark with the UAE Ministry of Economy, which gives you the exclusive right to the mark in your classes. We handle the search, the application and the response to any objection.
