Arabic Translation for HMRC Submissions
Arabic-speaking taxpayers and businesses in the UK regularly need certified translations of financial documents for HMRC. Whether you are filing a self-assessment return, responding to a tax enquiry, or registering a foreign income source, we provide certified Arabic-to-English translations that HMRC accepts without question.
HMRC requires English translations of any foreign-language documents submitted as part of tax returns, enquiries, or compliance checks. For Arabic-speaking individuals and businesses with financial ties to the Arab world, this commonly includes bank statements from Middle Eastern banks, employment contracts from Gulf employers, tax records from Arab countries, and company accounts. HMRC accepts certified translations from professional translators, and our service meets all their requirements. We understand the financial terminology used in Arabic banking, Islamic finance structures such as Murabaha and Ijara, and the accounting practices across different Arab countries.
