UAE Corporate Tax Support

Corporate Tax changed what UAE businesses need to track, document and file. We help you register, understand how the rules apply to your structure, and keep your filing obligations on schedule.

Overview

The UAE Corporate Tax regime applies to businesses within its scope and brings registration, record-keeping and annual filing obligations. How it affects you depends on your structure, your revenue, and in some cases whether your entity qualifies for particular free zone treatment.

We help you get registered correctly and understand your position clearly. Where a question calls for formal tax advice on a complex structure, we will say so and work alongside a qualified tax adviser rather than guessing.

  • Applicability review

    A clear read on how the regime applies to your entity, activities and financial year.

  • Registration handled

    Corporate Tax registration prepared and submitted, with the confirmation tracked through.

  • Free zone considerations

    Guidance on the qualifying-income questions that free zone entities commonly need to work through.

What this includes

  • Corporate Tax applicability and scope assessment
  • Federal Tax Authority Corporate Tax registration
  • Financial year and first tax period confirmation
  • Record-keeping and documentation requirements briefing
  • Free zone qualifying-income considerations
  • Corporate Tax return preparation support
  • Coordination with your accountant or auditor

Scope is confirmed in writing after the consultation, once your activities and requirements are clear.

FAQs

Corporate Tax — Your Questions

Straight answers, including the ones that are less convenient for us.

Registration requirements are set by the Federal Tax Authority and apply broadly to businesses within scope, including many free zone entities, regardless of whether tax is ultimately payable. We confirm the current requirement for your specific entity.

Free zone entities are not automatically exempt. Particular treatment can apply where qualifying conditions are met, and those conditions are specific. We walk through them with you rather than assuming an outcome.

Businesses in scope are expected to maintain financial records supporting their return for the period required by the FTA. We brief you on what that means in practice for your size and structure.

We provide registration, compliance and practical guidance. For complex structuring or formal tax opinions we will recommend involving a qualified tax adviser, and we are happy to work alongside one.
