Corporate Tax Return Filing in UAE

Filing returns in the UAE becomes much easier with professional assistance. Now that the business tax system has been implemented, companies need to learn how to handle their tax responsibilities effectively. It is a legal requirement whether you’re based on the mainland, operate in a free zone, or represent a foreign entity.
Overview
The FTA has implemented a two-tier corporate tax system:
  • 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000
  • 9% on income exceeding AED 375,000
It applies to:
  • UAE mainland entities
  • Free zone companies (non-qualifying component)
  • Foreign businesses with income sourced in the UAE
Documents Required
For filing correctly, businesses must prepare:
  • Financial statements aligned with UAE tax rules
  • Supporting documentation for deductions or reliefs
Step-by-Step Process
  1. Calculate total taxable profits.
  2. Examine potential deductions and exemptions
  3. Prepare the return through the EmaraTax Portal.
  4. Pay tax due before the official deadline.
  5. Be ready to respond to FTA queries.

VAT Return Filing Assistance

Staying on top of VAT return deadlines is vital for avoiding fines and maintaining compliance. Our tax filing consultants help you file your returns in full compliance with UAE tax regulations.
With a 5% rate applied across the country, registered businesses must submit VAT returns either quarterly or monthly, depending on their assigned tax period by FTA.
Every return must account for:
  • Standard-rated sales and purchases
  • Zero-rated and exempt supplies
  • Input VAT eligible for reclaim
We guide you through these details and ensure your filings are aligned with FTA rules. From record-keeping and invoice checks to input tax recovery and submission reviews, we offer complete support throughout your VAT cycle.

As an example, the Corporate Tax liability of a UAE company with taxable income of AED 1,000,000 will be calculated as follows:
  • Taxable income of AED 375,000 subject to CT at 0%: AED 375,000 x 0% = AED 0
  • Taxable income exceeding AED 375,000 is subject to CT at 9%. (AED 1,000,000 – AED 375,000) = AED 625,000 x 9% = AED 56,250
The UAE Corporate Tax liability for the tax period will be AED 0 + AED 56,250 = AED 56,250.
