Tax & Compliance

Stay efficient and stay compliant — the UAE is not "set and forget" anymore.

Tax & Compliance in the UAE

The UAE is still highly tax-efficient, but "tax-free" is out of date for businesses. Corporate tax, VAT, economic substance and beneficial-ownership rules now come with real registration, filing and record-keeping obligations — even when little or no tax is due.

We keep you compliant and efficient: registrations, filings, and the bookkeeping that underpins them, so the tax side stays simple and nothing creeps up on you.

What we handle

  • Corporate tax registration and filing
  • VAT registration and returns
  • Assessing qualifying-freezone-person status
  • Economic substance (ESR) and UBO obligations
  • Bookkeeping and audit coordination

Who it's for

  • UAE companies needing corporate tax / VAT registration
  • Freezone businesses checking if they qualify for 0%
  • Owners who want filings and records handled properly

Common questions

Does my company pay corporate tax?

Corporate tax is 9% on taxable profits above AED 375,000; below that it is effectively 0%. Some qualifying freezone income can still be 0% if strict conditions are met. Most companies must register and file regardless.

Do I need to register for VAT?

Once your taxable turnover passes the mandatory threshold you must register, charge VAT and file returns. Voluntary registration below the threshold is also possible.
