UAE Corporate Tax Registration & Filing

9% corporate tax — registration, Small Business Relief assessment, computation and filing.

Corporate tax is not a filing exercise bolted on at year end. The number comes out of your bookkeeping. If the books are weak, the computation is a guess — and a guess is what gets challenged.

  • Small Business Relief assessmentRevenue at or below AED 3 million can elect relief. We test whether you qualify and whether electing is actually in your interest.
  • Freezone 0% assessmentQualifying Free Zone Person status depends on qualifying income and adequate substance. We assess it properly, not optimistically.
