Complainces in UAE

Post-Incorporation & Ongoing Compliance in the UAE

In the UAE, compliance is not just paperwork—it’s your license to operate, grow, and attract global partners.

At CadreHub, we help your UAE company stay ahead of all post-incorporation and annual requirements so you can focus on building your business.

Corporate Governance & Licensing 🏢

📜 Trade License Renewal

Every company must renew its trade license annually with the relevant licensing authority (Mainland: DED, Free Zone: respective authority). Missing the deadline can lead to fines and business suspension.

🏛️ Memorandum & Shareholding Records

Keep your Memorandum of Association (MOA), shareholding structure, and company records updated with the licensing body.

🗂️ Company Secretary / PRO Services

While not mandatory in all jurisdictions, having a corporate secretary or PRO ensures your filings, attestations, and governmental liaisons are handled without delays.

Financial & Tax Compliance 💼

📊 Bookkeeping & Annual Accounts

Maintain proper accounting records and prepare annual financial statements in line with IFRS.

  • Mainland companies: Annual audit often mandatory.
  • Free Zone companies: Audit requirements vary—CadreHub will confirm for your jurisdiction.

💸 Corporate Tax Filings

Since June 2023, UAE applies a 9% corporate tax on taxable profits above AED 375,000. File your return with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) annually.

🛒 VAT Compliance

If your turnover exceeds AED 375,000, you must register for VAT and file quarterly/bi-annual returns. Penalties apply for late filing.

👨‍💼 Visa Renewals

Ensure timely renewal of investor, employee, and dependent visas. Keep Emirates ID, health insurance, and labour contracts up to date.
