The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) is one of the world's leading free zones, home to thousands of trading, consultancy, and commodity businesses in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). DMCC licence holders face distinct accounting obligations: annual audit requirements above certain revenue thresholds, Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) notifications, Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) register updates, FTA VAT compliance, and — since 2023 — UAE Corporate Tax with Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) considerations.

Shaikh Associates provides dedicated DMCC accounting services from our Dubai Silicon Oasis office, a short drive from JLT. Our team includes ex-Big 4 chartered accountants who have prepared DMCC audit files, managed FTA correspondence, and structured Corporate Tax positions for free zone trading and service companies across commodities, technology, consulting, and logistics sectors.

Our DMCC clients receive full-cycle bookkeeping on Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or Xero — bank reconciliations, multi-currency transaction processing, and IFRS-compliant monthly management accounts. We prepare year-end financial statements aligned with DMCC audit requirements, coordinate with approved auditors, and ensure your ESR and UBO filings are submitted on time to avoid penalties.

VAT remains a critical compliance area for DMCC businesses. We handle TRN registration, quarterly VAT return preparation and FTA filing, input tax recovery optimisation, and representation during FTA audits. For Corporate Tax, we assess QFZP eligibility, document qualifying income, prepare annual CT returns, and advise on structuring to minimise tax while remaining fully compliant — one of our DMCC clients saved AED 380,000 in their first filing year through proper CT structuring.

Whether you're a new DMCC startup setting up your first chart of accounts or an established JLT trading house with years of backlog, we can help. Our 30-day free trial lets DMCC founders test our bookkeeping quality before committing — every transaction categorised, reconciled, and reported to IFRS standard with no credit card required.

Fixed fees from AED 999/month for startups and AED 2,500/month for growing DMCC companies. Partner-led service, no junior handoffs, no 12-month lock-in. Contact us at +971 50 393 2745 or Start 30-Day Free Trial below.
