About UAE Corporate Tax Registration & Return
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Every UAE company — mainland or free zone — must register for corporate tax on EmaraTax by the deadline linked to its licence issue date, or face an AED 10,000 penalty. Profits above AED 375,000 are taxed at 9%. Businesses with revenue up to AED 3 million can elect Small Business Relief, now available for tax periods ending by 31 December 2029. The return and payment are due within nine months of the financial year-end.
Corporate tax brings accounting requirements: financial statements under IFRS, transfer pricing documentation for related-party dealings (including with an Indian parent), and audited statements in certain cases.
We register the company, compute taxable income with adjustments, and file the return — coordinating Indian tax credits where an Indian parent or owner is involved.
