Audit, VAT & Corporate Tax Services in Hamriyah Free Zone
Compliance Support for Hamriyah Free Zone Companies
From trading houses and manufacturers to logistics and service firms, WPAA delivers practical audit, accounting, VAT, Corporate Tax and AML support for businesses licensed by Hamriyah Free Zone Authority.
Hamriyah Free Zone Authority
Established in Sharjah, Hamriyah Free Zone Authority (HFZA) is one of the UAE's largest industrial free zones — home to thousands of trading, manufacturing, oil & gas and logistics companies. Its deep-water port access and industrial land make it a hub for heavy industry and import / export operations.
Because of this business mix, HFZA entities face specific compliance pressures around inventory accounting, VAT Designated Zone rules, Corporate Tax substance, ESR and audit-at-renewal.
Typical HFZA Compliance Cycle
- Monthly bookkeeping
- Quarterly VAT filing
- Annual audited financials
- Annual Corporate Tax filing
- ESR / AML notifications where applicable

Where Hamriyah Companies Need Help
The compliance issues we encounter most frequently with Hamriyah Free Zone clients.
Trading & Manufacturing Bookkeeping
Hamriyah is dominated by traders, manufacturers and oil & gas suppliers — inventory accounting, cost-of-goods workflows and multi-currency transactions need disciplined recording.
Annual Audit for Licence Renewal
Hamriyah Free Zone Authority commonly requests audited financial statements at renewal. Delays here can hold up your licence.
Corporate Tax & QFZP Assessment
Most Hamriyah entities must register for Corporate Tax and decide whether they qualify for the 0% Qualifying Free Zone Person regime — a technical assessment.
VAT on Import / Export & Designated Zone Rules
Hamriyah is partly treated as a VAT Designated Zone for goods. Misapplying reverse charge or zero-rating rules is a common FTA finding.
ESR & AML Documentation Gaps
Trading and holding entities can fall under Economic Substance Regulations and AML obligations — documentation often lags behind operations.
