Corporate Tax questions

Before you ask.

Is UAE Corporate Tax always 9% above AED 375,000?

For many taxable persons, 0% applies to taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above it. Free-zone treatment, exemptions, elections and reliefs can change the result, so the applicable treatment and assumptions are confirmed within scope.

Can registration support be included?

Yes, where agreed. We confirm the entity information, records, scope and responsibility before beginning a registration engagement.

Do you submit the return to the FTA?

No. We prepare the return; you or your registered tax agent submits it. Who that is goes in your written scope before work starts.

What if the year-end books are not complete?

We first identify the bookkeeping and reconciliation work needed. Any catch-up scope is agreed before the tax computation begins.

Your year-end, prepared.

Tell us when your financial year ends; we’ll send the scope and price in writing.
