Running payroll involves more than calculating net pay. Pay, deductions, employer charges, reporting and payment deadlines all need to be handled consistently.
Coutts Consultants can arrange this service for your United Arab Emirates company and coordinate the records, specialist work and filing from start to finish.
What the service covers
We start with the company's existing records and confirm what is needed for the payroll & wps support.
The work is organised around the reporting and record-keeping requirements that apply in the United Arab Emirates, rather than using a generic set of accounts or calculations.
What we will need from you
For a UAE company, we provide a clear information list at the start. Depending on the service, this can include bank statements, invoices, expense records, payroll information, previous returns and earlier financial statements.
If records are incomplete or inconsistent, we identify the gaps before the filing or accounts are finalised.
What we will do
Coutts Consultants coordinates the payroll & wps support with the appropriate accounting, tax or payroll professionals and keeps the work moving through to the agreed completion point.
Where a filing is required, it is prepared for submission to the relevant Federal Tax Authority, subject to the company providing complete and accurate information.

You have one Coutts Consultants contact coordinating the United Arab Emirates accounting or tax work, so you do not have to manage separate providers and deadlines yourself.
