Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our tax and accounting services in UAE.
What is the UAE Corporate Tax rate?
The rate is 9% on taxable income over AED 375,000. Income below this amount has 0% tax. Small businesses may get relief. We help you understand and comply with corporate tax registration and filing.
Do I need to register for VAT?
You need VAT registration when taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 per year. You can join early if supplies are over AED 187,500. Once registered, you charge 5% VAT and file returns. We help you register and file on time.
What documents do I need for business setup?
Needs vary by location and activity. Most cases need a trade license, MOA/AOA, address proof, and passport copies. Our team helps you pick the right spot and get all documents ready for business setup.
How often must VAT returns be filed?
VAT returns are due quarterly. Deadlines are March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. Late filing brings penalties starting at AED 1,000. We file on time so you avoid fines.
What accounting services do you offer?
We do bookkeeping, financial statements, bank work, and payroll. Our services follow IFRS standards. We can help daily or monthly based on what you need.
Are there penalties for late tax registration?
Yes. Late registration can cost AED 10,000 for the first year and AED 20,000 after that. The FTA enforces this strictly. Contact us fast if you need to register. We also help with penalty waiver requests when possible.
Do you serve all Emirates?
Yes. We serve Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. We know the rules in each Emirate. Mainland and free zone too. We help with tax, accounting, and setup across the whole UAE.
What is the deadline for corporate tax registration in the UAE?
The FTA has set specific deadlines based on your trade license issuance date. Failing to register on time can result in a penalty of AED 10,000. Contact our tax consultants in Dubai to check your specific deadline and register before it passes.
Can free zone companies benefit from 0% corporate tax?
Qualifying free zone persons may be eligible for 0% corporate tax on qualifying income. However, strict conditions apply. These include maintaining adequate substance and earning qualifying income. Our team helps free zone businesses assess their eligibility.
What are the penalties for incorrect VAT filing?
Filing incorrect VAT returns can attract penalties of AED 1,000 for the first offense. Repeat offenses within 24 months carry AED 2,000 penalties. Voluntary disclosure before an FTA audit can reduce penalties. We help businesses file accurately.
Do I need an audit for my free zone company?
Most free zone authorities require an annual audit by an approved auditor. The specific requirements depend on your free zone and license type. Our audit team delivers reports accepted by all major UAE free zones.
How can I get a VAT refund in the UAE?
Businesses may be eligible for VAT refunds if input tax exceeds output tax. Tourist VAT refunds are also available. We assist with refund applications, documentation, and follow-up with the FTA.
