Our team of Chartered Accountants, CPAs, Licensed Auditors, and Financial Consultants works on FTA-authorized platforms including QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, Sage, and Odoo.

Al Majaz is a mixed-use waterfront district in central Sharjah, built along the curve of Khalid Lagoon. The area divides into three sub-communities: Al Majaz 1 (home to Al Noor Mosque, Al Nakheel Oasis, and hotels including Holiday International and 72 Hotel Sharjah), Al Majaz 2 (home to the Al Majaz Waterfront, Splash Park, Business Tower with 235 offices across 41 floors, and waterfront dining), and Al Majaz 3 (home to the Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority offices, banks, and telecom companies). Al Majaz Waterfront covers 231,000 sq. ft along the lagoon with 21 F&B and retail outlets, 1,300 parking spaces, and average monthly footfall of 208,333 visitors. Businesses here include hotel operations, international restaurant franchises (Tim Hortons, Al Baik, Pizza Hut, Krispy Kreme, Caribou Coffee), office tenants in commercial towers, real estate brokerages, medical clinics, beauty salons, travel agencies, and professional consultancies. King Faisal Street and Corniche Street provide main road access, and Al Wahda Metro Station is a 10-minute walk. Many businesses in this corridor face challenges with hospitality revenue recognition, tourism-driven seasonal fluctuations, high commercial rent consuming margins, and VAT compliance for F&B operators managing cash and delivery transactions.

Why Businesses In This Waterfront District Need Professional Accounting
1. Hotel And Serviced Apartment Operators Must Track Departmental Revenue Under USALI
Hotels, hotel apartments, and serviced residences along the lagoon manage revenue from rooms, F&B outlets, event spaces, spa services, and retail. USALI (Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry) requires each department to report revenue and direct costs separately, producing departmental GOP (Gross Operating Profit) figures. Operators that fail to implement USALI correctly cannot benchmark against industry standards or satisfy brand audit requirements. The tourism dirham levy collected from guests must be tracked separately from room revenue and remitted to the relevant authority. Corporate tax applies at 9% on income above AED 375,000 under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. We configure departmental accounting structures and deliver monthly GOP reports by department
2. Waterfront F&B Franchises Must Reconcile High-Volume Multi-Channel Sales Daily
The 21 F&B outlets along Al Majaz Waterfront and dozens of restaurants across the district process hundreds of daily transactions through POS, card terminals, cash, and delivery platforms. Franchise operators must reconcile all payment channels against bank deposits daily. Delivery platform payouts from Talabat, Careem, and Noon Food arrive on delayed settlement cycles and must be matched to individual orders. Turnover rent calculations require accurate daily revenue reporting to the landlord. A late VAT filing penalty starts at AED 1,000 for the first offense and rises to AED 2,000 for repeats within 24 months. We integrate POS data with accounting systems, automate delivery platform reconciliation, and produce VAT-ready reports before each filing deadline.
3. Office Tenants In Commercial Towers Face High Overhead That Demands Cost Visibility
Business Tower (41 floors, 235 offices), Golden Tower, and other commercial buildings in this area house consultancies, real estate brokerages, travel agencies, and IT firms. Office rents along the waterfront consume a significant portion of revenue for service-based businesses. Without monthly cost allocation and profitability tracking by service line or client, operators cannot identify which revenue streams cover overhead and which drain cash. The FTA requires 5-year retention of all financial records. Corporate tax returns must be filed within 9 months of the financial year end. We configure cost center tracking, generate monthly profitability reports, and flag overhead ratios that exceed industry benchmarks
Accounting Support For Every Business Type In Al Majaz
We work with businesses of all sizes here, from solo consultants in shared offices to hotel groups with 200 or more staff. Startups benefit from Small Business Relief, reducing corporate tax for businesses with revenue under AED 3 million through December 31, 2026. All registered businesses must retain financial records for a minimum of 5 years. We handle business setup from trade license selection through initial accounting system configuration.
The waterfront and commercial character of this area produces specific accounting scenarios. Hotels billing through OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda) must reconcile commission deductions and net payouts against reservation records. Real estate brokerages time commission recognition to contract completion rather than listing. Travel agencies managing group bookings must separate service fees from pass-through costs for airlines, hotels, and transport operators. Beauty salons with commission-based staff must track variable compensation through WPS payroll alongside base salaries. Medical clinics split revenue between VAT-exempt healthcare and standard-rated retail sales. Corporate tax applies at 9% on income above AED 375,000 under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, and VAT at 5% under Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017.
Nearby areas including Al Khan, Al Qasba, and Al Nahda Sharjah share overlapping commercial profiles. Federal Decree-Law No. 17 of 2025, effective January 1, 2026, updates tax procedures, while Cabinet Decision No. 129 of 2025, effective April 14, 2026, revises penalty structures. E-invoicing requirements under Ministerial Decision No. 243 and No. 244 of 2025 begin with an FTA pilot on July 1, 2026. Full details on our services are at taxograph.com.

The tourism dirham collected from guests must be tracked independently from room income. OTA commissions from Booking.com, Expedia, and Agoda must be reconciled against individual reservations. We configure departmental structures and deliver monthly GOP reports. Our auditing and assurance team supports hotels needing annual financial reviews.

Yes. All businesses subject to Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 must register for corporate tax. The rate is 9% on income above AED 375,000 and 0% below. Late registration carries a penalty of AED 10,000 under Cabinet Decision No. 129 of 2025. Businesses with revenue under AED 3 million may qualify for Small Business Relief through December 31, 2026. We handle registration, annual return filing, and compliance monitoring.
Travel agencies must separate their own service fees from amounts paid on behalf of clients for flights, hotels, and transport. Pass-through costs are not agency revenue and should not inflate taxable income or VAT output. Incorrect treatment distorts both corporate tax and VAT calculations. We configure separate revenue categories within your accounting system and document the principal-agent relationship for each booking.
The FTA launched an e-invoicing pilot on July 1, 2026 under Ministerial Decision No. 243 and No. 244 of 2025. VAT-registered businesses will need to generate machine-readable invoices through compliant software. We help with platform selection, configuration, and testing ahead of the mandatory rollout.
