Accounting for gold trading companies in the UAE requires precision, speed, and strict regulatory compliance.

We support gold trading businesses across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and major free zones including DMCC, delivering reliable, industry-focused accounting solutions across the UAE.

Why gold trading accounting needs specialist handling

Gold is not standard inventory. You need stock records that reflect weight and purity, disciplined stock reconciliation, and a defensible transaction trail for VAT and AML/CFT expectations. Weak records usually show up later as margin distortion, audit delays, or difficult bank and counterparty questions.

FAQs

Accounting for Cryptocurrencies in the UAE
How are cryptocurrency transactions recorded in accounting books in the UAE?

Crypto transactions are treated like digital assets. We record the purchase, sale, and conversion into AED or USD using fair market value on the transaction date, ensuring compliance with international accounting standards.

Do I need to pay tax on cryptocurrency income in the UAE?

Currently, there is no personal income tax on crypto gains in the UAE. But if you run a crypto trading or blockchain business, your profits may be subject to UAE corporate tax. Professional accounting ensures you stay compliant with tax rules.

Can cryptocurrency losses be deducted in UAE corporate tax returns?

Yes, in many cases crypto losses can offset taxable profits of a business. However, proper documentation and valuation are required. Our accounting team helps prepare accurate records to support your claim with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

How does accounting handle crypto-to-crypto transactions (e.g., Bitcoin to Ethereum)?

Each crypto-to-crypto trade is treated as a disposal and acquisition. We record both transactions at fair market value in AED. This ensures your books reflect the correct gain or loss for corporate tax reporting.

How do businesses in Dubai value cryptocurrency holdings on their balance sheet?

Most companies use the “fair value” method under IFRS. This means crypto is valued at current market price and re-measured regularly. Our accounting team ensures your balance sheet reflects accurate and updated valuations.

What challenges do businesses face in reconciling crypto wallets and exchanges?

Crypto transactions often happen across multiple wallets and exchanges. Without proper tracking, errors and missing data occur. Professional crypto accountants use blockchain-based reconciliation tools to match records and avoid mistakes.

Can accounting software like QuickBooks or Zoho Books track cryptocurrency?

Basic versions don’t fully support crypto. But we integrate specialized crypto accounting tools with QuickBooks, Xero, or Zoho to automate entries, convert values into AED, and generate accurate VAT/corporate tax reports.

How do UAE free zone companies dealing with crypto stay compliant?

Free zone businesses must maintain proper accounting, file audited reports, and follow Central Bank/VARA regulations. Our services ensure compliance with both free zone authorities and federal tax laws.

How can proper crypto accounting help during an FTA audit?

During an FTA audit, authorities may request proof of all crypto trades, wallet addresses, and fair value calculations. Accurate accounting ensures you have complete, traceable records — reducing audit risks.

Is outsourcing cryptocurrency accounting in Dubai cost-effective for startups?

Yes. Hiring an in-house accountant with crypto knowledge is expensive. Outsourcing gives you access to experts, advanced software, and compliance support at a much lower cost — while you focus on trading or growing your business.
