New UAE tax rules are in effect. Is your business keeping up?
The UAE introduced company tax, updated VAT requirements, and is moving all businesses to digital invoicing. Most small business owners don't know what applies to them — and fines for missing deadlines are real. Raqib tells you exactly where you stand, in 5 minutes, for free.
No credit card. No accountant needed. 5 minutes.
Missing these deadlines has a real price tag
94% of UAE businesses are small companies. Most don't have an accountant watching for these deadlines. That's exactly who Raqib is for.
Running a business in the UAE just got more complicated. We make it simple again.

We built this because we were sick of the same confusion you're dealing with.
Your data stays in the UAE region
Everything is stored on AWS servers in Bahrain — not the US, not Europe. Your financial data stays in the Gulf. We comply with UAE data protection law (PDPL).
We track the official rules, not rumours
Every fine amount and every deadline in Raqib comes directly from official publications by the Federal Tax Authority and the Ministry of Finance. When the rules change, we update within 48 hours.
Built in Dubai, by people who deal with this too
We're not a global software company that added a UAE feature. We run businesses here. We've been through the same tax registrations, the same confusing government portals, the same late-night Googling. We built Raqib because we needed it ourselves.
