<100 for the year

Not sure if my answer is relevant here but we paid a total of 2,100 AED for the FY2023 statements and audit. 50% up front and 50% at the end.

To summarise: we didn't have the audited statements so requested an extension from DIEZ, they gave us 60 days for the audited accounts portion only - the rest of the requirements had to be submit on time, but that was more-or-less straightforward. In the end, we reached into the bag of...

Thanks. The legal version basically writes-off the Netherlands as even with a company, this salary (turnover) level barely makes it worth it. The UK would be better company but then I would have to be certain I want to spend 183 days p/year there, which is a possibility but does increase...

I have been given the option to live in the Netherlands with 30% ruling but have been thinking about what to do post-ruling - Netherlands really doesn't look that appealing without the ruling. I am a salaried worker with $100k p.a., although have strong ties to my employer so I have the option...

It seems like I'm getting the full treatment. Happy ending expected.

That’s strange, it was non-negotiable when I asked. Anyway, not a huge problem. Just required some back and forth with the accountant. Did you receive any feedback?

Just out of the blue, email from DIEZ. It was an offsite inspection.

We have a non-qualifying FZCO with revenue around $200k that was required by DIEZ to do an audit last month.

We set up in Silicone Oasis using DLS in late 2022 and after a brief panic getting everything in order upon the CIT announcement last year, we got an accountant. Through them we registered for CIT and VAT - were fined for late registration on the VAT front - and received some advisory services...

We were notified of his departure back then. Had no problems with Fred and his services. We were contacted about the inner circle services but due to the hysterics of everything on the Dubai side (not Fred’s side) at the time - getting ourselves compliant with the new rules - we didn’t go for...

We just emailed them back to the DIEZ inspection address they contacted us from initially. I tried calling them through both the phone number in the email address and the number on their site but was unable to get through. I can't comment on the accountant were using yet because they haven't...

it’s been a busy few days but we managed to find an accountant that would provide audited statements; it was one of the accountancy firms we previously vetted. I also got through to DIEZ who offered a 60 day extension for providing the statements. The other documents must be submitted this week...

It’s a bit strange, plus the phone number in the DIEZ email doesn’t work. They still haven’t replied to my query from Wednesday. It has the hallmarks of a scam but the sender email seems real. Found another accountancy firm - one we rejected in our initial screening - so let’s see how this goes.

I'm on this already. We have another accountancy firm that were part of our search last year that - fingers crossed - can help. Additionally, I'm reaching out to DIEZ, IFZA and also an EU-based accountant to see if we can just whack something together for last year (that's better than my...
