Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for an experienced UAE Corporate Tax and VAT advisor/accountant to support our RAKEZ free zone company with Corporate Tax compliance, VAT assessment, and possibly filing/submission. Company: HyperSpeed International FZ-LLC, registered in RAKEZ, United Arab Emirates. First Corporate Tax period: 12 July 2024 to 31 December 2025. Business type: Digital services company providing: - online digital education products; - SaaS / digital tools; - consulting and advisory services; - marketing planning and execution. Digital education and SaaS products are sold and delivered online automatically, without manual installation or manual intervention for each transaction. Transaction profile: - approximately 75 income invoices per month, or income can be provided as daily income summaries; - approximately 50 expense transactions per month; - most income is received through Stripe payouts; - all documents can be provided digitally. What we need: We have two separate goals: 1. Current first Corporate Tax period: We need to complete the accounting clean-up/review, prepare the required financial reports, and submit the UAE Corporate Tax filing for the period from 12 July 2024 to 31 December 2025. 2. Ongoing accounting from the next period onward: We are also looking for an ongoing bookkeeping/accounting and tax compliance provider from the next period onward. Please price these two parts separately. We need to understand the one-time cost for the current first-period catch-up and filing separately from the ongoing monthly/annual accounting service. We need a practical and cost-efficient solution because the company does not yet have significant revenue and most income currently comes from low-value digital invoices. Please clearly state which of the following you can provide: 1. Review of our accounting records and financial statements for UAE Corporate Tax purposes. 2. Preparation or correction of accounting records, if required. 3. Preparation of Profit & Loss Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, Statement of Shareholder’s Equity, and General Ledger extract, if required. 4. UAE Corporate Tax return preparation. 5. UAE Corporate Tax filing/submission through EmaraTax or through an authorized/registered tax agent. 6. VAT assessment/review for our activities. 7. VAT registration, if required. 8. Quarterly VAT filing, if required. 9. Written summary of your conclusions and recommendations. 10. Confirmation of what responsibility you can take for the work performed and/or filings submitted. Important: We do not want generic advice only. We need clear confirmation of whether you are able to submit the filing, whether you are authorized to do so, and whether you can take professional responsibility for the work. Please include the following in your proposal: A. Authorization and responsibility - Are you UAE-based? - Are you registered with the UAE Federal Tax Authority as a Tax Agent? - If yes, please provide your Tax Agent Registration Number. - If you are not a registered tax agent, do you work with a registered UAE tax agent or licensed UAE accounting firm who can submit filings? - Can you submit the UAE Corporate Tax return on behalf of the company? - Can you handle VAT registration and VAT filing, if required? - What professional responsibility do you take for the work and/or filings? - Do you have professional indemnity insurance or work through a licensed firm? B. UAE / RAKEZ / free zone experience - Have you worked with RAKEZ free zone companies before? - Have you worked with UAE free zone companies under Corporate Tax rules? - Do you have experience assessing Qualifying Free Zone Person status? - Do you have experience with digital services, SaaS, online education, Stripe payouts, and cross-border customers? C. Accounting and reporting capability - Can you prepare or review the following reports: - Profit & Loss Statement; - Balance Sheet; - Cash Flow Statement; - Statement of Shareholder’s Equity; - General Ledger extract? - Can you work with CSV invoice exports, daily income summaries, Stripe reports, supplier invoices, bank statements, and expense breakdowns? - Can you perform bank reconciliation and Stripe payout reconciliation? - Which accounting software do you recommend for this case: Zoho Books, Wafeq, Xero, QuickBooks, or another system? D. Pricing Please provide fixed prices, separated by item, for: 1. Initial review of the company’s situation and documents. 2. Accounting clean-up / preparation of required financial reports, if needed. 3. Corporate Tax return preparation. 4. Corporate Tax filing/submission. 5. VAT assessment/review. 6. VAT registration, if required. 7. Quarterly VAT filing, if required. 8. Ongoing monthly or quarterly bookkeeping from the next period. Please also state clearly: - what is included in each price; - what is excluded; - what would trigger additional fees; - whether your price changes based on transaction volume; - expected timeline; - documents required to start. E. Confidentiality NDA/confidentiality is required before sharing full company data. Please do not send a generic proposal. I will only consider proposals that clearly answer the questions above and provide itemized pricing.
