Why

Why a UAE company needs source documents

Source documents are what the whole of the reporting stands on. Behind every figure in a return the tax authority expects an invoice, a contract, an act or proof of payment.

The rules for invoices once you're VAT-registered are strict: mandatory details, numbering, deadlines for issuing. An invoice in the wrong form denies your counterparty the deduction and creates a problem for both sides.

What's included

Which documents are prepared

  • Invoices with the mandatory details
  • Contracts with counterparties
  • Acts and confirmations of delivery
  • Documents on settlements and advances

The set depends on the type of activity and on whether the company is VAT-registered.

Frequently asked questions

Do invoices have to follow a prescribed form?
Once VAT-registered — yes. An invoice without the mandatory details denies the counterparty the deduction and puts the company at risk on inspection.
How long must documents be kept?
The retention period is set by tax law and depends on the type of document. We go through the specific periods for your situation on a consultation.
What language should invoices and contracts be in?
The language requirements depend on who the document is for: the tax authority, the bank or a counterparty. We work it through for how you operate, so the set doesn't have to be redone twice.
Can invoices be issued before VAT registration?
Invoices can be issued, but VAT isn't charged on them — there's no right to do that before registration. Charging VAT without registration creates a problem for you and your counterparty alike.
Terms

The terms the expert works on

Guarantees the outcome by contract

Writes the outcome and the timeline for every service — including opening a bank account — into the contract, and answers for them.

Bills in stages

You do not pay the whole sum up front: invoices come in instalments as each stage closes.

Fixes the price in the contract

The cost is locked in and does not grow as the work goes on. Prices on the site are indicative — the final figure comes after your case is reviewed.

Charges no hidden fees

No penalties or surcharges beyond the contract. No Pactors markup either: you pay the expert their own price.

Works with lawyers of 8+ years in UAE law

The licence for your activity is matched, and the requirements worked through, by qualified lawyers.

Thinks a step ahead

Picks the zone and the licence so that a year from now you do not hit a limit and have to redo the whole thing.

Deals with authorities directly

Handles government bodies, free zones and UAE banks personally — no chain of subcontractors.
