UAE Corporate Tax

Corporate Tax

Registration, taxable income computation, Small Business Relief assessment and the annual return — for a tax most UAE businesses are still filing for the first time.

UAE Corporate Tax changed what your accounts are for. The books are no longer only a management tool — they are the starting point of a tax computation the Federal Tax Authority can question. We prepare them to stand up to that.

Who it is for: Mainland and free zone companies, branches, and natural persons carrying on a business in the UAE.

What you get

  • Filed Corporate Tax return
  • Computation reconciling accounting profit to taxable income
  • A supporting file kept for the statutory retention period

Corporate Tax registration

Registration with the FTA, the tax period set correctly, and the confirmation kept on file.

Taxable income computation

Accounting profit adjusted for exempt income, non-deductible expenses, interest limitation and related-party dealings.

Small Business Relief assessment

We test whether electing for the relief actually helps you — it is not automatically the better answer, and the election is made year by year.

Free zone qualifying income review

Whether your free zone entity meets the conditions for the 0% rate on qualifying income, and what would break it.

Transfer pricing documentation

Related-party and connected-person transactions priced and documented on an arm’s length basis.

Annual return preparation and filing

The return prepared from a closed, reconciled set of accounts and filed within the statutory window.
