Accounting & Bookkeeping in the UAE for Hungarians

Bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax filing, payroll and financial reporting for SMEs

If you are weighing up where to register in the UAE, IFZA Free Zone deserves a close look for its Dubai address and straightforward renewal process. IFZA Free Zone is Dubai's fastest-growing free zone — multi-activity licence, top bank access, and it has become one of the most practical choices for founders who want a UAE licence without a large upfront budget. The most common businesses Hungarians open through GoldenKey are in healthcare, IT services, engineering and food exports, although IFZA Free Zone supports almost any activity. Payments between Hungary and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Hungarian forint (HUF) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Hungarian business profiles.

Why IFZA Free Zone

Just as important, office options in IFZA Free Zone range from virtual office, flexi-desk, office suite or warehouse, so you only pay for the space your visa quota actually needs. IFZA Free Zone is located in Dubai Silicon Oasis district, Dubai — adjacent to Meydan and Academic City, and the authority's processing time for a standard file is around 5 business days.
