Accounting and Tax Compliance Services
A company is not a one-time act of incorporation. Every jurisdiction requires ongoing filings: corporate tax returns, VAT returns, annual accounts, beneficial-owner register updates, and statutory financial reports. We handle it all — under one fixed monthly fee scoped to your transaction volume.
What we file for you
Corporate tax returns
Annual corporate income tax filing in your jurisdiction of incorporation. Quarterly advance payments where the local tax authority requires (Germany, France, Italy, Poland for medium taxpayers). Coordination with local tax counsel for unusual deductions, treaty-based reliefs, and group consolidation where applicable.
VAT / GST returns
Monthly or quarterly VAT returns depending on jurisdiction and turnover. Cross-border VAT for EU intra-Community supplies and One-Stop-Shop (OSS) registration where required. UAE VAT filings (5% standard, mandatory above AED 375,000). Singapore GST (8% as of 2024, rising path). Reverse-charge mechanisms documented and applied correctly.
KSeF e-invoicing (Poland)
Setup and ongoing operation of Poland’s mandatory National e-Invoicing System (KSeF). Mandatory for large taxpayers from February 2026 and for all VAT-registered businesses from April 2026. Every B2B invoice must flow through the central government platform — we configure the integration and handle the ongoing operation.
Annual accounts and financial statements
Statutory annual accounts prepared per local GAAP (or IFRS where required). Filing with the company registry. Audit coordination where the size thresholds trigger statutory audit obligations (varies by jurisdiction — typically turnover above €5–8 million plus other criteria).
Beneficial-owner register updates
Polish CRBR, German Transparenzregister, UK PSC register, EU 6th AML Directive equivalents in every member state, UAE Ultimate Beneficial Owner regulations. We maintain the register for your company and file the mandatory updates within statutory deadlines (typically 7–14 days from any change).
Payroll and employment taxes
Where you employ people in the jurisdiction of incorporation, we run payroll, calculate withholding tax and social security contributions, and handle the monthly filings to the relevant authorities. Polish ZUS, German Sozialversicherung, UK PAYE, UAE WPS — all covered.
Filing calendar by jurisdiction
Every country has its own filing calendar. Examples:
- Poland: Monthly VAT (25th), annual CIT (3 months after fiscal year end), annual financial statements (6 months after FYE), CRBR within 7 days of any beneficial-owner change.
- UK: Annual confirmation statement (within 14 days of “made up” date), annual accounts (9 months after FYE for private companies), corporation tax (12 months after FYE for the return, 9 months and 1 day for payment).
- Germany: Monthly VAT advance returns (10th), annual VAT, annual corporate tax, annual trade tax (Gewerbesteuer), annual financial statements with electronic publication via Bundesanzeiger.
- UAE: Annual corporate tax filing (within 9 months of FYE), monthly or quarterly VAT, FTA registration within 3 months of trade licence issuance.

Existing companies
You don’t need to have formed your company through us to use our accounting service. We onboard existing companies in any jurisdiction we cover — typical onboarding takes 2–4 weeks (collection of historical accounts, opening-balance reconciliation, system setup with the local tax authority). Contact us with your company registration number to start.
Where we provide ongoing accounting
For every company we form, we offer ongoing monthly accounting under a fixed monthly fee. Same team, same office, same quality standard as the formation work itself. Coverage by major jurisdiction:
- Polish accounting (sp. z o.o.) — including KSeF e-invoicing setup, monthly VAT, CIT-8 annual return
- German accounting (GmbH) — including monthly VAT advance returns, annual CIT/Gewerbesteuer, Bundesanzeiger filing
- UK accounting (Ltd) — confirmation statement, annual accounts, CT600, PAYE if employer

What’s NOT included
To keep our quotes honest:
- Statutory audit fees where audit is mandatory (Cyprus, large companies in any EU country, listed companies). We coordinate with the auditor and prepare working papers; the audit firm bills separately.
- Legal opinion work — these go to specialist counsel; we coordinate but don’t bill them.
- Bookkeeping for transaction volumes above the agreed monthly cap — we re-quote at higher tier if the volume escalates.
- Tax disputes / appeals — billed hourly when they arise.
Onboarding existing companies
You don’t have to be a formation client to use our accounting service. We onboard existing companies in any of our 55 jurisdictions — typical onboarding is 2-4 weeks: collection of historical accounts, opening-balance reconciliation, system setup with the local tax authority, and migration of any filings already in progress. Contact us with the company registration number to start.
Common questions about accounting and tax compliance
What is tax compliance?
Tax compliance is the work of meeting every filing and payment obligation a company has, on time and in the format the authority demands. For a small international company that usually means VAT returns, an annual corporate tax return, statutory accounts filed at the registry, and payroll declarations where staff are employed.
What is accounting compliance?
Accounting compliance is the bookkeeping side: ledgers kept in the local chart of accounts, statutory financial statements under local GAAP or IFRS, and filing them where the law requires. Tax compliance sits on top of it, because the tax return is built from those same books.
Compliance or advisory: what is the difference?
Compliance is the recurring filing work described above, at a fixed monthly fee. Advisory is the one-off question: how to structure a group, whether a treaty relief applies, how to price an intercompany loan. We do the compliance ourselves and bring in local tax counsel for advisory, as the exclusions above set out.
What do you need from us each month?
Sales invoices, purchase invoices, bank statements for every account, and payroll data if you employ anyone. The earlier they arrive after month end, the more room there is before the deadline. Anything unusual, such as a new cross-border supply or a shareholder loan, needs a note.
What happens if a filing deadline is missed?
Penalties are automatic in most jurisdictions and they compound. A late annual account at Companies House brings a penalty that rises with each month of delay. German and Polish authorities charge interest on late tax. A company that keeps missing filings can be struck off the register. We file to the calendar above.
Who is legally responsible for the filings?
The directors are, in every jurisdiction we work in. An accountant prepares and submits, but the statutory duty to file correct accounts and returns sits with the board. That is why we ask you to approve the figures in writing before anything is submitted, and why we query unusual entries.
