Why founders trust Sarmat with UAE accounting & tax

Most UAE accounting work is recurring documentation — VAT returns, ledgers, KYC refreshes. The right team keeps it organised, on time, and audit-ready without surprises.

  • Source-of-funds and source-of-wealth letters formatted to bank and authority standards.

Scope & Engagement Notes

What we handle: bookkeeping, VAT and Corporate Tax filing coordination, bank-account documentation, source-of-funds letters, capital declarations, and renewal calendars.

What we don't: FTA tax-agent representation, statutory audit, or SCA-licensed financial advisory — these require specific UAE authorisations Sarmat does not hold.

Where it overlaps: for matters that need licensed representation, we engage FTA-registered tax agents or audit firms under separate engagement; we still own the documentation and bookkeeping side.

Authority & bank fees: FTA, government, and bank charges are pass-through and itemised in your quote.

Trust note: Final tax positions, FTA decisions, and bank-account approvals remain with the relevant authority or financial institution. Our role is correct preparation, the right document chain, and clean filing — not promises about authority decisions.

Accounting scope of service in Dubai

Reminder: Sarmat coordinates documentation, bookkeeping, and submissions. FTA tax-agent representation, statutory audit, and SCA-licensed financial advisory are handled by authorized partners we engage under separate scopes.
