About working with us
What does Moorgate Accounting do?
We look after accounting, VAT, Corporate Tax and e-invoicing for businesses in the UAE. We also help with software setup, bank account opening, business plans, feasibility studies and part-time CFO support. You can see every service on our Services page.
Who is behind the firm?
Moorgate Accounting was founded by Nisar Muhammad, a working CFO with about 16 years of finance, accounting and treasury experience in the UAE. You can read more on our About page.
Why use an outsourced team instead of hiring my own accountant?
Hiring your own accountant means finding the right person, paying for their visa and insurance, covering annual leave and flight tickets, and starting again when they leave. With us you get a trained team with experienced supervisors for one fixed monthly fee, and your books keep moving when someone is away.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes. Most of our clients are small and medium businesses and start-ups. Our monthly packages are built around how many transactions you have each month.
Will you keep my information confidential?
Yes. We treat your documents and numbers as private and share them only with people you approve or where the law requires it. For ongoing work we sign a separate non-disclosure agreement. Please read our Privacy policy and confidentiality notice for the full detail.
How do I get started?
Book a free consultation from the Contact page, call or WhatsApp us on +971 50 440 1691, or email info@moorgateuae.com. We will ask a few questions about your business and tell you what we would do and what it would cost.
Fees and packages
How much do your monthly packages cost?
We have three packages, Starter, Growth and Complete, based on how many transactions you have each month. Prices depend on your business, so please contact us and we will give you a clear quote in writing.
Do you charge for VAT and Corporate Tax registration?
Our fee for VAT registration is AED 199 and for Corporate Tax registration it is AED 199. De-registration is AED 500 for VAT and AED 500 for Corporate Tax. Government fees, if any, are separate.
Are there hidden charges?
No. We agree the scope and the fee with you in writing before we start, so you know what you are paying for.
VAT and Corporate Tax
Does my company need to register for VAT?
It depends on your taxable turnover. There is a compulsory registration threshold and a lower voluntary one. Our VAT Registration page shows the current figures, and we can check your position quickly if you contact us.
Does my company need to register for Corporate Tax?
In general, companies and some individuals doing business in the UAE need to register for Corporate Tax, even where the tax rate may be zero. The time limit is counted from your trade licence being issued. Our Corporate Tax Registration page explains the rules, and we can do the registration for you.
What happens if I register late?
The Federal Tax Authority can charge administrative penalties for late registration, late filing and late payment. The sooner you speak to us, the easier it is to put things right.
Can you cancel a VAT or Corporate Tax registration?
Yes, if you have stopped trading or no longer meet the conditions. We prepare and submit the de-registration application and help you settle anything outstanding first.
E-invoicing
What is e-invoicing in the UAE?
It means sending invoices to your customers as structured digital data through an approved system, instead of as PDFs or paper. Our guide, UAE e-invoicing explained for small businesses, covers it in plain language.
When must my business be ready?
The dates depend on your type of business and your revenue. Use the deadline checker on our home page to see the dates that apply to you. Please confirm them with the Ministry of Finance, as dates can change.
Are you an Accredited Service Provider (ASP)?
No. We are not an ASP. We recommend an accredited provider that suits your business and take care of the connection, from documents to going live, on your behalf. Our accredited e-invoicing partner is Wafeq FZ LLC.
Which accounting software works with e-invoicing?
Zoho Books and Wafeq have e-invoicing solutions built in. QuickBooks, Odoo, Xero and Tally need an integration for e-invoicing. If you already use other software, talk to us and we will check what is possible.
