UAE retention rules

What you must legally keep.

Destroying records early can mean penalties in an audit. These are the key UAE minimum retention periods.

5 yrs ยท UAE Commercial Companies LawFinancial records
5 yrs ยท UAE VAT LawTax records & supporting documents
6 yrs ยท DIFC Company RegulationsCompany records after dissolution
2 yrs ยท UAE Labour LawEmployee records after employment ends
10 yrs ยท Dubai Land DepartmentReal estate transaction records

Cost comparison: off-site storage charges only for the space your boxes use, while the same floor space in a Business Bay office costs AED 800โ€“1,500 a month โ€” archive boxes rarely deserve prime office space.

Good to know

Document storage questions.

More answers? View all FAQs โ†’

How long do UAE businesses need to retain documents?

It depends on the record: 5 years for financial and VAT records, 6 years after dissolution for DIFC companies, 2 years after employment for staff records, 10 years for Dubai Land Department transactions, and 5โ€“10 years for banking records.

Do you provide an inventory of my stored documents?

Yes. Every box is logged against your own reference labels. We never open boxes or read contents, so for large archives we recommend keeping a simple spreadsheet of what each box holds.

How quickly can I retrieve specific files or boxes?

Give us a week's notice with the box reference and it will be ready on your chosen date. For regular access, we can set up a schedule so you don't need to give notice each time.

Do you offer certified document destruction?

Yes. Documents that reach the end of their retention period can be cross-cut shredded on a schedule, with a certificate of destruction for your compliance records.

How is confidentiality maintained?

All staff handling documents sign confidentiality agreements, only authorised personnel can access your archive, and nothing is opened or shared without your written instruction or a valid legal order.
