Corporate Tax Services in the UAE

The UAE introduced its Federal Corporate Tax regime effective for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023, marking a pivotal shift in the nation's fiscal landscape. Our team of qualified tax agents, registered with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), helps businesses across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and all other Emirates navigate this new obligation with confidence. We ensure that every entity - whether operating on the mainland, in a Free Zone, or across multiple jurisdictions - meets its corporate tax obligations accurately and on time.

Understanding corporate tax in the UAE goes beyond simple compliance. Businesses must evaluate qualifying income, determine the applicable tax rate (0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000, and 9% thereafter), assess Free Zone Person eligibility, and manage transfer pricing documentation in line with OECD guidelines. Our advisory team provides end-to-end support from initial implementation and registration through to ongoing compliance and strategic planning, helping you optimize your tax position within the boundaries of UAE law.

Whether you are a multinational with a permanent establishment in the UAE, an SME in DIFC or ADGM, or a family business transitioning to the new regime, our corporate tax services are tailored to your specific needs. We combine deep local regulatory knowledge with international best practices to deliver solutions that protect your business and support long-term growth in the UAE market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear, authoritative answers to the most common questions regarding our CORPORATE TAX in the UAE.

What is the UAE corporate tax rate and who needs to pay it?
The UAE corporate tax rate is 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on taxable income exceeding that threshold. All juridical persons - including LLCs, PSCs, branches of foreign companies, and certain Free Zone entities - that conduct business activities in the UAE are required to register and file corporate tax returns with the Federal Tax Authority. Exemptions may apply to government entities, qualifying public benefit organisations, and certain extractive sector businesses, but most commercial enterprises will be subject to the standard 9% rate on profits above the threshold.
How do I register my company for corporate tax with the FTA?
Corporate tax registration is completed through the FTA's EmaraTax portal. You will need to provide your trade licence details, memorandum of association, Emirates ID of authorised signatories, and financial statements. Our team handles the entire registration process on your behalf, ensuring all documents are correctly formatted and submitted to avoid delays. Once approved, you receive a Tax Registration Number (TRN) that must be used on all future filings and correspondence with the FTA.
Do I need transfer pricing documentation if I have related-party transactions in the UAE?
Yes, the UAE corporate tax law requires businesses with related-party and connected-person transactions to maintain transfer pricing documentation that demonstrates arm's length pricing. If your group revenue exceeds AED 200 million, you are also required to file a disclosure form and potentially a Master File and Country-by-Country Report. Even if you fall below these thresholds, maintaining robust transfer pricing documentation is highly recommended as it provides a strong defence in the event of an FTA audit and ensures your intercompany pricing withstands regulatory scrutiny.
When should I start preparing for corporate tax filing in the UAE?
You should begin your corporate tax preparation well before your financial year-end. Ideally, engage a qualified tax advisor at the start of each financial year to ensure your accounting records, chart of accounts, and intercompany agreements are structured correctly. Tax returns must be filed within nine months of the end of your relevant tax period. Proactive preparation avoids last-minute scrambles, ensures you capture all available deductions, and dramatically reduces the risk of penalties for late or inaccurate filings.
Why should I hire a tax agent instead of filing corporate tax returns myself?
A qualified tax agent registered with the FTA brings deep expertise in UAE tax legislation, FTA administrative procedures, and international tax principles. Self-filing carries significant risks - miscalculating taxable income, missing allowable deductions, or failing to apply the correct Small Business Relief can result in substantial penalties. Our tax agents have processed hundreds of returns and maintain direct familiarity with FTA portal updates, ensuring your filings are accurate, optimised, and submitted on time every year.
