IFZA Accounting, VAT & Corporate Tax Services

Compliance Support for IFZA-Licensed Companies in Dubai

WPAA helps IFZA-licensed consultancies, traders, e-commerce sellers and service businesses run clean books, file VAT correctly and stay compliant with UAE Corporate Tax — with simple, transparent monthly packages.

About the Authority

International Free Zone Authority

IFZA (International Free Zone Authority) is one of the fastest-growing free zones in Dubai, hosting more than 17,000 companies across consulting, trading, e-commerce, technology, marketing and professional services. It is widely chosen by SMEs and overseas founders for its flexible licence packages and low setup cost.

Because IFZA serves so many SMEs and consultancies, compliance is most often about getting the fundamentals right: proper bookkeeping, on-time VAT filings, Small Business Relief vs QFZP analysis under Corporate Tax, and audit readiness when needed.

Common Pain Points

Where IFZA Companies Need Help

The recurring compliance and reporting issues we see with IFZA clients.

Choosing Between SBR and QFZP

IFZA SMEs under AED 3M revenue can elect Small Business Relief (0% CT). Larger / structured entities may prefer the 0% QFZP rate. The right choice is rarely obvious — it needs a structured comparison.

Bookkeeping from Day One

Many IFZA founders launch without an accounting system. Backlog clean-up before audit, banking or first CT filing is the most common engagement.

VAT for Cross-Border Consultancies

Consultants serving overseas clients may zero-rate exports of services — but documentation requirements are strict and often overlooked.

E-Commerce Marketplace Reconciliation

IFZA e-commerce sellers need clean reconciliation of Amazon, Noon, Shopify or international platform payouts to support VAT and CT filings.
