Legal Notice
Due to the complexity of the UAE's many free zone and mainland company types, without standardized accounting and audit requirements, The Dubai Navigator may work with carefully selected locally licensed professional firms to perform some of the above services.
Similarly, according to UAE and international tax law, financial statements and audits have to be prepared by unique legal entities.
These various requirements can only be met by working with a network of professionals. Our service offerings are therefore partially performed in-house, and partially by third party providers.
Our "Company Maintenance Plans" require clients to submit their business banking transactions and original invoices if requested.
Non-compliance with these accounting requirments does not qualify for a refund of our services fees.
​
Our highly competitive service rates do not include co-signing of tax returns by an ECPA (Emirates Certified Public Accountant). In other words, returns will only be signed by the client.
​
You may add ECPA co-signing at USD899/year. That includes indemnity insurance in the rare case of filing issues.​ For example, tax authorities may ask for evidence that an employee performed the declared amount of work. If no satisfactory evidence is provided, there may be back-owed taxes and fines. Any party co-signing bears legal responsibility.
​​
For most small businesses, co-signing by an ECPA is not necessary - that is why we don't include it to keep costs low.
​
Co-signing by an ECPA is recommended for larger businesses, with complex business structures (e.g., involving international transfer pricing).
