The introduction of Corporate Tax in the UAE, effective for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023, marks a major shift in the country’s business landscape. All UAE-resident companies, including mainland entities and certain Free Zone businesses, are now required to prepare and file annual corporate tax returns in line with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) guidelines.

At V-Tax, we help businesses navigate this new tax environment with clarity and confidence. Our Corporate Tax Return Filing service ensures your company remains compliant, your taxable income is accurately reported, and your liabilities are minimized—without the stress of handling it all on your own.

Corporate Tax in the UAE: What You Need to Know

The standard corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, while income below this threshold remains exempt to support small businesses and startups. Tax returns must be filed within 9 months from the end of the relevant financial year, along with all required supporting documentation.

Failure to comply may lead to penalties, interest charges, and reputational risks—especially in an increasingly regulated business environment.

Our Corporate Tax Return Filing Services Include:

• Calculation of taxable income based on financial statements
• Preparation and submission of the corporate tax return via the FTA portal
• Application of relevant exemptions, deductions, and tax credits
• Support with FTA queries or audits
• Ongoing guidance on recordkeeping, deadlines, and documentation
