About Al Hayat Accounting

Working from an office in Garhoud, Dubai and a second desk in the RAKEZ amenity centre in Ras Al Khaimah, this practice presents itself as an audit, tax and accounting adviser for freezone-based and mainland companies. The site says its clients are mainly large companies and SMEs trading across several countries, and that its chartered accountants can also help newcomers establish a business in a free zone, on the mainland or in an international holding zone, including licences, visa paperwork and banking procedures. Day to day, the focus is on external and internal audit, VAT compliance and refunds, corporate and excise tax, economic substance reporting, AML support, and project and backlog accounting. Specialist offerings include ADNOC and national ICV certification support and company liquidation for LLCs, free zone and international entities. The website is in English only, publishes no prices or founding year, and its About page contains template wording borrowed from another market.
