Reconciled every month
Books are closed and reconciled monthly, not at year end, so VAT and corporate tax positions are always based on current numbers.

How this service works
UAE corporate tax applies to taxable income above the exempt threshold, with a distinct treatment for free zone entities that meet qualifying income conditions. Determining which category your business falls into is the single decision that shapes almost every other filing obligation that follows.
We assess your corporate structure, confirm your registration obligation, review free zone qualifying income where relevant, and prepare the annual return from records that are reconciled throughout the year rather than assembled at the deadline.
Mainland companies crossing the taxable income threshold, free zone entities reviewing their qualifying status, and groups with related-party transactions needing transfer pricing documentation all rely on this desk.
How the file moves
- We confirm the objective, list the documents required and quote government and service fees in writing.
- Your consultant prepares, types and submits the file, then follows it through each approval stage.
- You receive the outcome document, a copy for your records and a reminder before any renewal falls due.
Why clients use this desk
Audit file kept current
Supporting documentation for every material entry is filed as it happens, so an FTA or bank audit request never starts from a blank page.
Deadlines tracked for you
VAT, corporate tax and licence renewal deadlines are logged and flagged in advance, removing the risk of a late filing penalty.
Transparent, itemised fees
Government fees and our service fee are quoted separately and in writing before any engagement begins.
Frequently asked questions
Are free zone companies automatically exempt from corporate tax?
No. Free zone entities can benefit from a preferential rate on qualifying income, but only if specific conditions are met and maintained. We review your activity against those conditions rather than assuming exemption applies.
When is the corporate tax annual return due?
The return is generally due within nine months of the end of your financial year. We track your specific deadline and prepare the filing with buffer time built in.
