About us

A serious tax and accounting partner for businesses in the UAE.

We were founded to give UAE businesses reliable, accurate and well-structured support, in a tax environment that has changed profoundly in recent years.

Our story

Created to bring clarity to an evolving tax system.

Outstanding Tax & Accounting FZC is a tax and accounting consultancy incorporated on 22 February 2024 in the Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone, licensed for Tax Consultancy and Accounting & Bookkeeping Services.

In recent years Corporate Tax, VAT, EmaraTax registrations, returns, accounting records and Federal Tax Authority requirements have become an essential part of running a business in the UAE. Many companies are still adapting.

That is why our role goes beyond filing returns: we help you understand what is required, why it is required and how to remain compliant over time.

Our mission. To support UAE-based companies with accurate, transparent and compliant financial, accounting and tax practices, helping them operate in an organised and sustainable way while reducing the risk of missed deadlines, incorrect filings, incomplete records or avoidable penalties.
