Accountants in Ras Al Khaimah for RAKEZ companies and holding structures

Corporate tax, VAT and bookkeeping for RAKEZ, RAK ICC and RAK mainland businesses — including dormant and holding companies that still need to file.

Accounting and tax services in Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah combines two very different client types: manufacturers and industrial businesses in RAKEZ, and holding companies set up through RAK International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC) to own property, shares or intellectual property. Both are UAE-incorporated and both fall within UAE corporate tax.

Holding companies are where we see the most missed filings. A RAK ICC company with no staff and only dividend income is still a resident person that must register with the FTA and file a corporate tax return, even if exempt income means little or no tax is payable. We prepare the simple accounts and return these entities need, alongside full-service accounting for trading and manufacturing clients.

What we do for Ras Al Khaimah clients

  • Corporate tax registration and returns for holding companies
  • Participation exemption and exempt dividend analysis
  • Inventory and cost accounting for manufacturers
  • VAT on exports and designated zone transactions
  • Audited accounts support for RAKEZ licence renewal

Ras Al Khaimah free zones we support

  • RAKEZ
  • RAK International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC)
  • RAK Maritime City

Mainland licences are issued by the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAK DED). Corporate tax and VAT are filed with the FTA.

Accounting in Ras Al Khaimah: common questions

Does a RAK ICC holding company need to register for corporate tax?

Yes. A RAK ICC company is incorporated in the UAE, so it is a resident person for corporate tax and must register and file a return. Dividends and qualifying capital gains may be exempt under the participation exemption, but the filing obligation remains.

Do you support manufacturers in RAKEZ?

Yes. We set up inventory and costing so gross margins are reliable, handle VAT on imports and exports, and prepare the schedules your auditor needs for RAKEZ licence renewal.
