About
Established in 2001, JCA UAE Audit is one of Dubai's longest-serving independent audit and tax advisory firms. With over two decades of continuous operation in the UAE market, JCA brings deep institutional knowledge of the regulatory landscape that newer entrants simply cannot match. The firm serves a diverse client base including property management companies, real estate brokerages, and individual high-net-worth landlords with multi-property portfolios across Dubai and the Northern Emirates.
Services
JCA provides external audit and assurance services, internal audit and risk advisory, UAE Corporate Tax return preparation and filing, VAT registration and ongoing compliance, free zone audit reports required for licence renewal, feasibility studies for real estate development projects, forensic accounting for property dispute resolution, business valuation for portfolio acquisitions, and CFO-as-a-service packages for growing property management firms that need senior financial oversight without the full-time cost.
Key Differentiators
JCA's longevity since 2001 means the firm has navigated every major regulatory shift in the UAE — from the introduction of VAT in 2018 to the Corporate Tax rollout in 2023. This experience translates into practical, battle-tested advice rather than theoretical guidance. Their team includes Arabic, English, Hindi, and Urdu speakers, reflecting the multicultural reality of Dubai's property market. The firm maintains a deliberately moderate client load to ensure partner-level attention on every engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay tax on Dubai rental income as an individual?
As a general UAE position, there is no personal income tax on rental income earned by an individual. Where property is held through a business, UAE Corporate Tax (9% on taxable profits above the threshold, effective for financial years from June 2023) may apply. A firm such as JCA can review your specific structure.
Does UAE Corporate Tax apply to property investors?
It can. UAE Corporate Tax (9%) applies to qualifying business profits. Whether a property portfolio is taxable depends on how it is held (individual vs company, free-zone vs mainland). JCA provides Corporate Tax registration and advisory to assess this.
Is VAT charged on buying or leasing commercial property?
As a general UAE rule, commercial property sales and leases are standard-rated at 5% VAT, while the first supply of new residential property is zero-rated and subsequent residential leasing is exempt. JCA handles VAT registration, filing, and VAT audit support.
Do I need an FTA-registered tax agent?
Engaging an FTA-registered tax agent is optional but lets an authorised representative deal with the Federal Tax Authority on your behalf for VAT and Corporate Tax. JCA is a registered tax agent (TAAN 30002497).
Can JCA audit a free-zone company?
Yes. The firm is an approved auditor across major UAE free zones including DIFC, DMCC, JAFZA, DAFZA, RAKEZ, SAIF Zone and HFZA, in addition to mainland audits.
When was the firm established?
Jitendra Chartered Accountants was established in January 2001 and operates from Dubai with additional offices at SAIF Zone (Sharjah) and RAKEZ (Ras Al Khaimah).
