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. Fast forward to Feb this year, we received an audit request from DIEZ with audited financial statements. I tried to negotiate the requirement for audited financial reports as it seemed to conflict with the official rules - WTF do I know - but managed to get a 60-day extension for audited financial statements (over the initial two-week deadline). IFZA were unable to provide audited statements but were helpful in providing some other documents we required, we then went to another company to produce the audited statements - took about 10 days (75-ish transacations) for FY23 - which really wasn't that much hassle.
