Corporate Tax Consulting Services in Dubai

The UAE Corporate Tax framework requires businesses to assess their tax position, maintain appropriate financial records, and meet applicable registration, filing, and payment obligations. Professional guidance can help businesses understand how the rules apply to their operations and identify areas requiring attention.

At Gupta Accountants, we provide corporate tax consulting services tailored to your business structure, financial activities, and compliance needs.

1. Corporate Tax Planning and Advisory

Effective corporate tax planning begins with understanding your business operations and the applicable tax rules. We review relevant aspects of your financial and business arrangements to help you evaluate tax implications and consider appropriate options within the UAE Corporate Tax framework.

Our corporate tax advisory services include:

• Reviewing business activities and corporate tax considerations.

• Assessing the potential tax implications of business transactions.

• Identifying applicable deductions, exemptions, and tax reliefs.

• Reviewing business structures and relevant tax considerations.

• Providing practical guidance on corporate tax compliance and planning.

Our approach focuses on informed decision-making and compliance with applicable UAE tax legislation.

2. UAE Corporate Tax Registration Assistance

Businesses and other persons within the scope of UAE Corporate Tax must assess their registration obligations and comply with the relevant deadlines. Registration requirements depend on the taxpayer's legal status and circumstances.

Our services include:

• Reviewing corporate tax registration requirements.

• Assisting with the preparation of registration information and supporting documents.

• Providing guidance on the registration process through the EmaraTax platform.

• Reviewing relevant business and ownership information.

• Advising on applicable registration deadlines and related compliance considerations.

We help businesses understand the registration requirements relevant to their circumstances and prepare the necessary information.

3. Corporate Tax Return Preparation and Filing

Corporate Tax Returns must reflect the taxpayer's relevant financial information and tax adjustments. Accurate financial records and a clear understanding of the applicable tax rules are important when preparing a return.

Gupta Accountants assists businesses with:

• Reviewing financial statements and accounting records.

• Assessing accounting profit and relevant tax adjustments.

• Reviewing potentially deductible and non-deductible expenses.

• Considering applicable exemptions, reliefs, and tax losses.

• Preparing Corporate Tax Return information.

• Assisting with filing and payment compliance within the applicable deadlines.

Our services aim to support accurate reporting and help businesses address their corporate tax filing responsibilities.

4. Taxable Income Assessment

Accounting profit and taxable income may differ because certain adjustments are required under UAE Corporate Tax legislation. Businesses should assess these adjustments carefully when determining their corporate tax position.

Our consultants help review relevant income and expenditure, supporting documentation, and applicable tax adjustments. This may include the assessment of deductible expenses, exempt income, tax losses, and other items relevant to the calculation of taxable income.

The objective is to support a properly documented and consistent approach to corporate tax calculations.

5. Free Zone Corporate Tax Consulting

Free zone companies should assess their corporate tax obligations based on their legal status, activities, income, and applicable conditions. Operating in a free zone does not automatically mean that all income qualifies for a 0% Corporate Tax rate.

We assist free zone businesses with:

• Reviewing their corporate tax position.

• Assessing the conditions relevant to Qualifying Free Zone Person status.

• Reviewing qualifying income considerations.

• Identifying relevant documentation and record-keeping requirements.

• Reviewing applicable compliance and reporting obligations.

Our corporate tax advisory services are relevant to businesses operating in UAE free zones, subject to the specific requirements applicable to each entity.

6. Corporate Tax Compliance Review

A corporate tax compliance review can help businesses evaluate their existing processes and identify areas that may require further attention.

Our review may cover:

• Corporate tax registration status and applicable obligations.

• Financial statements and supporting accounting records.

• Revenue recognition and expense documentation.

• Tax calculations and adjustments.

• Return preparation and filing procedures.

• Record retention and supporting documentation.

• Relevant tax deadlines and payment requirements.

Following the review, we can explain identified issues and recommend practical steps to address them, subject to the agreed scope of work.

7. Transfer Pricing and Related-Party Transactions

Businesses conducting transactions with related parties or connected persons should consider the applicable UAE transfer pricing requirements.

Our advisory services may include reviewing relevant transactions, assessing documentation needs, and explaining the arm's-length principle and applicable compliance considerations.

The scope of transfer pricing documentation and reporting depends on the relevant legal requirements and the taxpayer's circumstances.

8. Corporate Tax Guidance for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Small and medium-sized businesses may need assistance understanding corporate tax registration, financial record-keeping, taxable income calculations, and return filing requirements.

Gupta Accountants provides practical corporate tax guidance to help business owners understand their responsibilities and establish suitable compliance processes.

Where relevant, we can also assess whether a business may qualify for an available tax relief, subject to the applicable eligibility criteria and conditions.

Understanding UAE Corporate Tax Requirements

The UAE Corporate Tax regime applies to relevant businesses and taxable persons under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, as amended, together with applicable implementing decisions and guidance.

The standard Corporate Tax rates generally include 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000, subject to the applicable rules. Different provisions may apply to qualifying free zone income and certain other categories of taxpayers.

Taxable persons are generally required to file their Corporate Tax Returns and settle any Corporate Tax due within nine months from the end of the relevant tax period, subject to applicable rules and exceptions.

Businesses should assess their individual circumstances rather than relying solely on general tax thresholds or assumptions about their activities. Current legislation, implementing decisions, and FTA guidance should be considered when determining the appropriate tax treatment.
