Stuart & Hamlyn Chartered Accountants is a Dubai-based firm that pairs FTA-approved tax expertise with day-to-day accounting support for UAE companies. From small trading outfits in Deira to service businesses in Dubai free zones, they handle bookkeeping and payroll while keeping a close eye on VAT and corporate tax rules that change fast.
What accounting and tax services does Stuart & Hamlyn Chartered Accountants offer in Dubai?
The team provides core accounting services in Dubai such as bookkeeping, monthly management accounts, and statutory audit, tying these directly to UAE regulatory needs. Because they’re FTA approved, they’re qualified to guide VAT registration in the UAE, prepare and review VAT returns, and respond to FTA queries if something doesn’t look right. On the direct tax side, they act as a corporate tax advisor in Dubai, helping businesses interpret the 9% corporate tax, calculate taxable profits, and align inter-company charges with UAE transfer pricing guidance.
How does the firm support compliance with ESR, payroll rules, and company life cycle changes?
For owners juggling Economic Substance Regulations, payroll obligations, and bank requirements, the firm links accounting records to actual compliance filings rather than treating them as separate worlds. They advise on ESR assessments, prepare supporting documentation, and ensure payroll records back up WPS and labour file checks. When a client is just getting the ball rolling, they assist with company formation in Dubai, choosing between mainland and free zone structures with tax in mind; when it’s time to exit, they handle company liquidation, final VAT returns, and closing audits. English and Arabic support make it easier for both expatriate founders and local partners to stay on the same page, with direct access to senior accountants instead of being passed around a call centre.
