Accurate Corporate Tax Return Filing, Every Tax Period
We prepare and file your annual Corporate Tax return correctly and on time, so you meet every FTA deadline with confidence.
Corporate Tax Return Filing in the UAE
Corporate Tax returns are filed once per tax period, due within nine months of the end of your financial year — giving most UAE businesses until the following September to file if they run a standard calendar year. The return calculates taxable income after adjustments, applies the 0% rate up to AED 375,000 and 9% above it, and accounts for any Small Business Relief or Free Zone Qualifying Income treatment you’re eligible for.
Because the nine-month deadline covers both filing and payment, businesses often treat it as more time than it is. We build your Corporate Tax return around your actual financial year-end and manage the full preparation and adjustment process well ahead of the deadline, not in the final weeks.
Why You Need Professional Corporate Tax Filing Support
Late filing and late payment each carry separate FTA penalties, and incorrect application of Small Business Relief or Free Zone Qualifying Income can mean paying tax you didn’t owe, or worse, under-declaring tax that’s later assessed with penalties attached. Accurate filing depends on getting the adjustments right, not just the arithmetic — disallowed expenses, exempt income and related-party transactions all need to be correctly treated before the return is submitted.
