Corporate Tax Consultants in Dubai & the UAE

Generally, it is charged on taxable income, not total sales. Taxable income starts from accounting profit or loss and applies the adjustments required by the tax rules. Revenue thresholds used for reliefs or individual businesses are separate tests.

Under the standard regime, the first AED 375,000 of taxable income is taxed at 0%; the portion above that is taxed at 9%. Special regimes, including qualifying free zone treatment and rules for large multinational groups, require a separate assessment.

Generally yes, if your company is a taxable person. Low profit or a loss does not by itself remove registration requirements. Exempt persons and individuals have different rules, so check your status and registration deadline separately from the amount of tax due.

Generally yes. A taxable person normally still files a return even when no tax is payable. Registration creates the tax account; the return reports the period's results and relevant elections. They are separate tasks.

The standard filing deadline is nine months after the tax period ends. For example, a period ending 31 December 2025 normally has a filing deadline of 30 September 2026. Check your actual registered tax period and any specific FTA decision; this is not the registration deadline.

No. Submitting the return and settling any tax due are separate actions. Your filing plan should include checking the payment deadline, amount and payment status in EmaraTax. A submitted return is not proof that payment has been completed.

It may qualify, but relief is not automatic. Eligible resident persons must meet the revenue test in the current and all previous relevant tax periods and elect for relief in the return. Qualifying Free Zone Persons and members of specified large multinational groups are excluded. Registration, filing and record-keeping responsibilities still need attention.

The Ministry of Finance announced an extension in August 2026. The relief now covers eligible tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029, subject to the conditions. Older guidance may still show 2026; read it together with Ministerial Decision No. 131 of 2026.

No. A free zone licence alone does not make a company exempt. A Qualifying Free Zone Person can receive 0% treatment on qualifying income if the conditions are met; other income can be taxed differently. Registration and filing obligations still apply.

A natural person carrying on business in the UAE is subject to corporate tax when total business turnover exceeds AED 1 million in a calendar year. Wages and qualifying personal investment or real estate investment income are excluded from this business test. A company owned by an individual is assessed under the company rules.

It concerns pricing transactions with related parties as independent parties would. Loans, management fees and other group transactions may need review. The documentation and disclosure requirements depend on the facts; tell us about transactions with owners and related companies.

Start by confirming the tax period, current filing status and missing records. BWMC can scope bookkeeping corrections and tax preparation support, then review the next steps with you. Do not assume a penalty waiver applies or that incomplete accounts remove the filing obligation.
