FAQ

Real estate audit & tax questions, answered

Who must register for UAE Corporate Tax?

Most businesses operating in the UAE, including real estate companies, owners associations' management entities and free zone entities, must register for Corporate Tax with the Federal Tax Authority. The standard rate is 9% on taxable profits above AED 375,000. We handle registration, exemption analysis and annual filings.

How does VAT apply to real estate in the UAE?

Commercial property sales and leases are generally subject to 5% VAT, while residential leases are exempt and the first supply of new residential property within three years of completion is zero-rated. Mixed-use buildings need careful apportionment — we advise on VAT registration, recovery and filing for property owners and developers.

Do you provide accounting and bookkeeping alongside audits?

Yes. We provide monthly bookkeeping, management accounts, VAT return filing and Corporate Tax compliance for property companies, owners associations, SMEs and family businesses across Dubai and the wider UAE.

How quickly can you start an audit?

We respond to every enquiry within one business day and can typically begin fieldwork within a week of agreeing the scope. Call or email us with your community or company details and we will send a fixed quote.

Do you serve companies in UAE free zones?

Yes. We work with mainland and free zone entities across the UAE, including qualifying free zone persons under the Corporate Tax regime, and we advise on maintaining qualifying status.

How much does a real estate audit cost in Dubai?

Fees depend on the size of the community or portfolio, the number of service charge groups, and the state of the records. After a short call we provide a fixed, all-inclusive quote — no hourly surprises. Contact us for a same-day estimate.

What is Mollak and how does it relate to the audit?

Mollak is the Dubai Land Department's system for managing service charge accounts of jointly owned properties. All service charge collections and payments flow through Mollak escrow accounts, and the annual audit reconciles the community's financial records against Mollak data before submission to RERA.

What is a service charge audit in Dubai?

A service charge audit is an independent examination of the service charges collected and spent by an owners association or management entity for a jointly owned property. The audit verifies that budgets, invoices and Mollak records are accurate and that owners are only charged legitimate, approved costs, in line with RERA requirements.

Is a RERA audit mandatory for owners associations in Dubai?

Yes. Under Dubai's jointly owned property regulations, owners associations and management entities must have their service charge accounts audited annually by an approved auditor and submit the results through the Mollak system to RERA.

Do real estate developers need escrow account audits?

Yes. Developers selling off-plan property in Dubai must hold buyer funds in DLD-regulated escrow accounts, and these accounts are subject to audit. We prepare escrow account audit reports that satisfy Dubai Land Department and RERA requirements.
