United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah) – Outsourced Accounting, VAT & Corporate Tax Support

Supporting UAE Businesses & Advisors from India

Ashok Chhajed & Associates is a professionally managed Chartered Accountancy firm based in India, established in 1984 under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949.


With over four decades of experience serving PSUs and reputed Indian corporates, we now provide structured outsourced accounting and compliance support to businesses and professional firms in the United Arab Emirates, with a focus on Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah.


We act as a finance, accounting and compliance back-office – managing bookkeeping, reconciliations, VAT and corporate tax working papers from India, while your local UAE advisors and tax agents handle statutory filings and regulatory representation.

    Needing a reliable India-based back-office to manage bookkeeping, VAT/CT workings and management accounts for their client portfolio.

Our Key Service Offerings for UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah)

1. Outsourced Bookkeeping & Accounts:

We provide complete bookkeeping support for UAE entities (mainland and free zone), including:


  • Recording of sales, purchases, expenses and journal entries
  • Customer and vendor ledger maintenance and ageing reports
  • Bank and credit card reconciliations
  • Petty cash and employee advance accounting
  • Fixed asset register maintenance and depreciation workings

We work on commonly used accounting systems, including cloud-based platforms, as per client requirements.



2. Month-End Close & Management Reporting:

We support a disciplined monthly/quarterly closure process to give management a clear financial picture:


  • Preparation of Trial Balance, Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet
  • Reconciliation of key control accounts (bank, receivables, payables, loans, VAT, etc.)
  • Management reports and MIS packs suitable for promoters, boards and investors
  • Segment-wise/location-wise/project-wise profitability analysis where data is available
  • Basic cash-flow and working capital analysis

This helps UAE management teams take decisions based on timely, reliable financial information without building a large in-house team.



3. UAE VAT – Working Papers & Backend Support:

(Statutory filings and FTA representation remain with your UAE tax agent/advisor; we prepare the data and workings.)

Our UAE VAT-related backend support includes:


  • Transaction-wise VAT analysis (standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt, out-of-scope)

  • Reconciliation of VAT returns with books of accounts
  • Review of VAT treatment on common transactions such as intra-GCC supplies, imports, exports and reverse charge

We ensure that your local advisor receives clean, reconciled, well-documented figures for timely VAT compliance.



4. UAE Corporate Tax – Computation Support & Working Papers:

  • Adjustments for tax purposes as guided by your UAE tax advisor (e.g. disallowable expenses, exempt income, related-party transactions)
  • Working papers for tax loss computation and carry forward
  • Reconciliation between accounting profit and taxable income
  • Schedules for related-party and connected person transactions (for TP/supporting documentation, as advised locally)

These workings can be directly used by your UAE tax agent/consultant to file corporate tax returns with the authorities.


5. Economic Substance & Other Compliance – Data & Documentation Support:

Where required, we support UAE entities with:


  • Basic ESR data preparation (summary of activities, income, expenses and employee information) as per guidelines provided by your UAE advisor
  • Collation of documents and schedules needed for ESR notifications and reports
  • Preparation of working files for other regulatory submissions as instructed by local consultants

The objective is to ensure that your UAE advisors have complete and organised data to meet regulatory requirements.
