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

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.

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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
