Our Corporate Tax & VAT Services

FTA-compliant registration, filing, structuring, and ESR support tailored to your business.

Corporate Tax registration & filing

We provide complete UAE Corporate Tax registration and filing services in compliance with the regulations of the Federal Tax Authority. All businesses operating in the UAE, including mainland and free zone companies, are required to register for Corporate Tax, even if they qualify for the 0% rate on taxable income up to AED 375,000. Our services cover FTA registration, TRN assistance, tax computation, return preparation, and timely filing within the required 9-month deadline after the financial year end. We ensure your business remains fully compliant while minimizing risks and avoiding penalties.

VAT registration, filing & deregistration

VAT is a 5% consumption tax imposed on most goods and services in the UAE. A business must register for VAT if its taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the past 12 months or are expected to do so in the next 30 days, and non-resident suppliers must register if they make taxable supplies without another party responsible for VAT liability. Businesses with taxable supplies or expenses above AED 187,500 may opt for voluntary VAT registration even if they don't meet the mandatory threshold. Once registered, the business receives a Tax Registration Number (TRN) and is obligated to charge VAT on taxable sales, maintain records, submit regular VAT returns, and pay the net VAT due to the FTA, typically within 28 days after the end of each tax period.

ESR (Economic Substance Regulations) compliance

We assist businesses with Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) compliance in the UAE, a framework originally introduced to ensure companies carrying out defined "relevant activities" demonstrate genuine economic presence within the country, in line with international tax transparency standards. Historically, entities engaged in activities such as banking, insurance, investment fund management, headquarters, holding company, intellectual property and other specified operations were required to submit annual ESR notifications and reports to their relevant regulatory authority, demonstrating that core income-generating activities, qualified personnel, operating expenditure and management decisions are situated in the UAE. Compliance involved meeting strict deadlines for ESR notification (usually within six months of financial year end) and, if relevant activities produced income, an Economic Substance Report (within 12 months), with significant penalties for late or missing filings and failure to satisfy substance tests.
