Mandatory UAE Statutory Record Retention Periods

VAT records, invoices, and ledgers must be retained for at least 5 years after the end of the tax period (Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017, Article 78). Corporate tax books and documents must be preserved for 7 years following the relevant tax period (Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, Article 68). Our bookkeeping processes maintain secure, searchable archives satisfying all FTA review standards.
