Dubai desk · Corporate Tax
Most UAE businesses now fall under federal corporate tax. Registration with the FTA, a return after the financial year, and records that match the licence activity are the core file. Reliefs are not automatic.
Corporate tax support
Registration
FTA corporate-tax registration once the entity and period require it.
Return
Generally due within nine months of financial year-end, subject to FTA rules for your period. Computations should reconcilable to the books.
Free-zone positions
Qualifying Free Zone Person treatment depends on qualifying income, substance, and the zone — we document the facts before anyone claims 0%.
Transfer-pricing awareness
Related-party goods, services, and financing between India and the UAE need a pricing file, not only a journal.
Alongside the return
- ESR notification or report where the activity requires it
- UBO register kept current
- Trade-licence renewal before expiry
- India group reporting using the same numbers
