UAE Corporate Tax applies to financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023, and every taxable person — mainland or free zone, large or small — now has a registration, filing and record-keeping obligation with the Federal Tax Authority. VAT Accounting UAE provides the full range of Corporate Tax services a UAE business needs, from first registration through to ongoing return filing, accounting, consultancy, compliance, assessments, transfer pricing and eventual deregistration, all managed by one team.
Our Range of Corporate Tax Services
This page is the starting point for every Corporate Tax service we offer. Corporate Tax Registration UAE covers your mandatory EmaraTax registration. Corporate Tax Return Filing UAE handles your annual return preparation and submission. Corporate Tax Accounting Services and Corporate Tax Compliance Services keep your records tax-ready throughout the year, not just at filing time. Corporate Tax Consultancy UAE answers transaction-specific questions and structures complex arrangements correctly.
We also support the situations that fall outside routine compliance: Corporate Tax Assessment reviews your existing position for accuracy and risk, Corporate Tax Penalty Support represents you against an FTA penalty, and Corporate Tax Deregistration closes out your obligation when a business stops trading. Dedicated pages cover Corporate Tax for Free Zone Companies, Corporate Tax for Mainland Companies and Corporate Tax for SMEs, since each faces different rules and thresholds. Transfer Pricing Services UAE, including Transfer Pricing Documentation, supports businesses with related-party or group transactions.
Why UAE Businesses Need a Dedicated Corporate Tax Partner
Corporate Tax is still a relatively new obligation for most UAE businesses, and the rules involve genuine complexity — a 9% standard rate above AED 375,000 in taxable income, Small Business Relief for qualifying revenue under AED 3 million, and a separate 0% regime for Qualifying Free Zone Persons that depends on meeting specific substance and income conditions. Getting any of these wrong creates real financial exposure, either through overpaying tax you didn’t need to, or under-declaring and facing a penalty later.
Working with one Corporate Tax partner across registration, accounting and filing also means fewer handoffs and less risk of information falling through the cracks. The same team that files your return also maintains your books throughout the year, so your taxable income calculation is built on records already structured with Corporate Tax in mind.
Who We Work With
We serve UAE mainland companies, free zone entities across the major authorities including those seeking or holding QFZP status, and SMEs navigating Corporate Tax for the first time. Clients range from businesses registering for the first time to established companies needing a compliance review, an assessment response, or transfer pricing documentation for a group structure.
How We Work
Every engagement starts with understanding your business structure, revenue level and activity mix, since these determine which Corporate Tax rules actually apply to you — the standard regime, Small Business Relief, or the free zone Qualifying Income regime. Pricing is transparent and agreed upfront, whether as a one-off project fee or a fixed annual or monthly retainer.
Industries We Support
Our Corporate Tax clients span retail and e-commerce businesses, construction and contracting companies, real estate and property management firms, hospitality and F&B operators, professional services firms, and free zone trading and holding companies. Each business type carries different taxable income considerations, and we build your Corporate Tax position around how your business actually operates rather than a generic template.
How Corporate Tax Connects to Your Wider Compliance
Because the same firm handles your Corporate Tax and VAT compliance, your records are always built with every filing obligation in mind, not treated as separate problems for separate advisors to reconcile later. A transaction is classified correctly once, at the point of entry, and flows cleanly into every return and report that depends on it.
Working Across the UAE and Wider GCC
While our core Corporate Tax expertise is UAE-focused, several of our clients also operate across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman, each with its own corporate tax regime. Where relevant, we flag cross-GCC considerations affecting your UAE Corporate Tax position, and can refer you to trusted regional specialists for compliance needs outside the UAE itself.
A Single Point of Contact
Whichever combination of Corporate Tax services your business needs, you deal with one point of contact who understands your full picture, rather than re-explaining your business to a different specialist for each service. This is what lets issues get caught early — a related-party pattern spotted during bookkeeping that has transfer pricing implications, or a relief eligibility question noticed while preparing a routine filing.
Transparent, Fixed Pricing
Every Corporate Tax service is quoted as a transparent, fixed fee agreed before work begins — whether a one-off project like registration or an assessment, or an ongoing annual retainer for accounting and filing. There are no hourly surprises and no hidden add-ons; the quote you agree to is the fee you pay.
For businesses needing several services together — registration followed by ongoing accounting and filing, for instance — we also offer bundled pricing that reflects the efficiency of one team handling the full picture rather than pricing each service as if it were a standalone engagement.
