Terms of Use

UAE Accountant is a free online request service. It lets a business send one request for quotes from licensed accounting, tax and audit firms in the United Arab Emirates and, with consent, passes that request to up to three relevant firms.

We are not an accounting firm, an audit firm or a tax agent. We do not provide accounting, audit or tax services or advice, we do not set fees or scope, and we do not take payment for the firms’ services.

The content on the Site, including guides and service, emirate and free zone pages, is general information only. It is not accounting, tax or legal advice. Rules, deadlines and rates change and depend on each business’s situation, so check with a licensed firm or the Federal Tax Authority before you act.

By using the Site, sending a request or applying as a partner, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

You must be at least 18 and able to enter into contracts to send a request.

We may decline to pass on a request, or restrict access to the Site, if we believe these terms or the law have been breached.

Sending a request is free and does not commit you to accept a quote or hire a firm.

We aim to pass your request to suitable firms, but we do not guarantee that you will receive a quote, how many quotes you will receive, when, at what fee, or that a firm can finish the work before a particular deadline.

Firms are independent of us. Quotes, fees, scope and terms come from the firms alone, and any agreement is made directly between you and the firm. Agree scope, fee, timeline and responsibilities in writing before work starts, and check the firm’s licences where the work needs them, such as FTA tax agent registration or an auditor licence.

We are not a party to your agreement with a firm and are not responsible for the quality of its work, the accuracy of returns, accounts or reports it prepares, meeting deadlines, or penalties or disputes that follow. Under UAE tax law, appointing a tax agent does not remove a business’s own responsibility for its tax.

We ask each firm for its trade licence and, where relevant, its FTA tax agent registration or auditor licence from the Ministry of Economy and Tourism. Each firm remains responsible for holding the licences its work requires and for following the laws and professional standards that apply to it.

A firm that applies through the Site confirms that its details are accurate and that the person applying may act for it. An application does not oblige us to accept a partnership or to send any number of requests. Partnership terms are agreed separately.

A firm that receives a request may use the business’s data only for that request, must keep it confidential, and must stop contacting the business when asked to.

The content of the Site, including text, design, logo and code, belongs to or is licensed to UAE Accountant.

You may view the content and share links to it. You may not copy, republish or use it commercially without our written permission.

Names of government bodies, laws, software and brands on the Site are used only to identify them. They do not mean that any of them endorses or works with us.

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. We take reasonable care to keep information accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that it is complete, free of errors or right for your situation, or that the Site will always be available.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for any tax, penalty or other liability, arising from use of the Site, reliance on its content, or any service, quote or act of a firm.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under UAE law.

The Site may link to websites and services run by others. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

We may change these terms at any time. The date of the last update is shown at the top of the page. Changes apply from the date they are published, and continuing to use the Site means you accept them.

We may change, pause or stop the Service, in whole or in part, at any time.

These terms are governed by the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates and, where applicable, the laws of the Emirate of Dubai.

The courts of Dubai have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms or the use of the Site. Both sides will first try to settle a dispute amicably.

If any part of these terms is found invalid, the rest remains in effect.

For questions about these terms, use our contact form. Questions about work you agreed with a firm should go to that firm directly.
