Our Corporate Tax Services in the UAE
Corporate Tax Registration
Every taxable business must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and obtain a Corporate Tax Registration Number, including free zone companies taxed at 0%. We prepare your documents and complete registration on EmaraTax so you start compliant.
Corporate Tax Return Filing
We prepare your tax computation, reconcile your accounts, claim eligible deductions and file your return with the FTA before the deadline, with payment support where tax is due.
Free Zone (QFZP) Assessment
Not every free zone company qualifies for the 0% rate. We review your income, substance, activities and de minimis position to confirm whether you are a Qualifying Free Zone Person, and what happens if you are not.
Small Business Relief Advisory
If your revenue is within the limit, you may be able to elect Small Business Relief. We check eligibility, compare it against filing normally, and handle the simplified return.
Tax Planning and Structuring
We review your group structure, related-party dealings, transfer pricing exposure and tax group options, so your structure supports your business goals.
Accounting Review and Corporate Tax Readiness
Your tax return is only as good as your books. We clean up and review your accounting records so figures are accurate, supportable and ready for FTA scrutiny. This works hand in hand with our Accounting Outsourcing service.
Audit-Ready Compliance and FTA Support
We organise your documentation and help you respond to FTA queries, review penalty notices and apply for penalty waivers or reconsideration where eligible.
Who Must Register for UAE Corporate Tax?
You are likely required to register if you are:
- A UAE mainland company (LLC, sole establishment, branch and similar)
- A free zone company, including those expecting to pay 0%
- A freelancer, sole proprietor or professional running a business activity that meets the revenue threshold
- A foreign company with a permanent establishment or place of effective management in the UAE
Registration is required even if you expect no taxable income or plan to claim Small Business Relief. Many free zone owners assume they are exempt, which is a common and expensive mistake.
Corporate Tax Deadlines and Penalties
Missing a deadline can cost far more than the tax itself. Key points to know:
- Filing and payment: within 9 months of the end of your tax period. For a 31 December year-end, that means 30 September of the following year.
- Late registration: AED 10,000 administrative penalty.
- Late filing: AED 500 per month for the first 12 months, then AED 1,000 per month.
- Late payment: 14% per annum on unpaid tax.
- Record keeping: penalties apply if you cannot support your figures.
Our Corporate Tax Process
- Free consultation: we check whether and how corporate tax applies to your business.
- Registration: we register you on the FTA EmaraTax portal.
- Books review: we review and, where needed, clean up your financial records.
- Tax computation: we prepare your taxable income calculation and supporting schedules.

- Ongoing advice: we monitor law changes and support you through the next tax period.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the corporate tax rate in the UAE?
The UAE charges 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on taxable income above that. Qualifying Free Zone Persons pay 0% on qualifying income and 9% on non-qualifying income.
Do free zone companies need to register for corporate tax?
Yes. All free zone companies must register and file a return, even if they qualify for the 0% rate. Free zone status alone is not an exemption.
What is Small Business Relief?
Small Business Relief lets eligible resident businesses with revenue up to AED 3 million treat themselves as having no taxable income for the relief period. It currently applies to tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026, and some businesses, such as Qualifying Free Zone Persons and large multinational groups, are excluded. Relief businesses must still register and file a simplified return
What is the deadline for filing a corporate tax return?
Returns and payment are due within nine months of the end of your tax period. If your financial year ends on 31 December 2025, the deadline was 30 September 2026. The FTA does not generally grant extensions.
What is the penalty for late corporate tax registration?
The administrative penalty is AED 10,000. A time-limited waiver may be available in some cases, so contact us to check your eligibility.
Do I need a tax agent to file my corporate tax return?
No, you can file yourself through EmaraTax. Many businesses use an experienced consultant to avoid errors, claim eligible deductions correctly and handle FTA correspondence.
How much do corporate tax services cost in Dubai?
Fees depend on your company size, number of transactions, free zone or mainland status and the state of your accounts. Contact GITPAC for a free, no-obligation quote.
What records must I keep for corporate tax?
Keep financial statements, invoices, contracts, bank records, payroll and any documents supporting deductions or reliefs. The FTA generally requires these to be kept for at least seven years.
