When your business needs Corporate Tax support

Your business needs Corporate Tax support when registration, filing, Free Zone status, related party transactions, tax group structure, or FTA communication affects the tax position.

Corporate Tax support is important when the business has not registered yet, the first return is due, accounts are not ready, financial statements need review, or taxable income has not been calculated correctly.

Free Zone companies need review before relying on 0% Corporate Tax treatment. Group companies need review before forming a Corporate Tax group. Businesses with related party transactions need transfer pricing support before filing.

FTA query, penalty, audit request, missed deadline, wrong registration detail, or deregistration requirement should be reviewed before a response is submitted.

Applicability of UAE Corporate Tax

Corporate Tax registration and filing support

Corporate Tax registration and filing are the main compliance requirements for most UAE businesses under the Corporate Tax regime.

For registration, we review the trade licence, legal structure, ownership details, business activity, tax period, and FTA account details before submission. This helps avoid wrong registration data, missed deadlines, and later amendment issues.

For filing, we review the accounts before preparing the Corporate Tax return. The review covers financial statements, taxable income, deductible expenses, exempt income, reliefs, tax losses, related party transactions, and supporting documents.

The Corporate Tax return should match the accounting records. If the accounts are incomplete, the return carries the same weakness. We check the records before filing so the submitted position is clear and supportable.

Free Zone 0% tax and QFZP review

Free Zone companies still need Corporate Tax review and filing. The 0% Corporate Tax treatment applies only when the company meets the required Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions.

Our Free Zone review checks qualifying income, excluded income, non qualifying revenue, adequate substance, audited financial statements, transfer pricing compliance, mainland transactions, and the company’s actual business activity.

A Free Zone business should not rely on the 0% rate only because it is licensed in a Free Zone. The tax position depends on the income type, customer type, activity, documents, and QFZP conditions.

We review the Free Zone position before filing so the business knows whether it can apply 0% Corporate Tax on qualifying income or needs to account for 9% Corporate Tax on taxable income.

Relevant Documents required for Corporate Tax Registration in UAE

Transfer pricing, tax groups and related party review

Transfer pricing and group structure matter when a UAE business deals with related parties, connected persons, shareholders, group companies, branches, or common ownership structures.

Our transfer pricing review checks whether related party and connected person transactions follow the arm’s length principle. This includes management fees, service charges, financing, intercompany balances, purchases, sales, and other controlled transactions.

Transfer pricing benchmarking supports the pricing position with comparable market data where required. It also helps prepare proper documentation before filing or FTA review.

For companies under common ownership, we review Corporate Tax group formation. This includes ownership conditions, eligible entities, registration steps, group level filing, and the effect of group treatment on compliance.
