When are corporate tax returns due in the UAE?

The tax return filing deadlines in the UAE can vary depending on the emirate and the tax authority’s regulations. It is crucial to consult with the specific tax authority or a tax professional to determine the exact deadlines applicable to your business. In general, tax returns are due within a specific period after the end of the financial year.

How do I register my company for corporate tax in the UAE?

To register for corporate tax, you need to submit the necessary documents to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) in the UAE. These documents typically include your company’s trade license, memorandum of association, and other relevant financial information.

What is the rate of corporate tax?

Profits will be taxed at 9%, the standard statutory rate. However, the tax rate on taxable profits up to AED 375,000 will be 0%. This action is intended to encourage local small businesses and start-ups. The slab rates have not yet been determined. This is subject to change in the future. Having said that, the UAE corporate tax rate will begin as one of the world’s most competitive.

Are there any penalties for late or incorrect tax return filings?

Yes, there may be penalties for late or incorrect tax return filings in the UAE. These penalties can vary depending on the specific circumstances, such as the delay period or the severity of the error. It’s crucial to comply with the tax regulations and file accurate returns on time.

Can I outsource the preparation and filing of my company's tax returns?

Yes, you can choose to hire tax professionals or firms to handle the preparation and filing of your company’s tax returns in the UAE. It’s advisable to work with experienced professionals who have knowledge of UAE tax laws and regulations

Will there be any exception?

Companies involved in the extraction of natural resources may be able to avoid paying the tax. These businesses will continue to be taxed at the Emirate level. Furthermore, UAE residents will no longer be required to pay taxes on dividends and capital gains generated by eligible shareholdings. If a corporation generates profits outside the UAE and pays taxes on those profits in that country, the company will not be required to pay corporate tax on those profits in the UAE because the foreign taxes will be credited against the UAE corporate tax payable.

Under certain conditions, will it be possible for multiple corporations to file as a single tax entity?

The UAE’s corporation tax code will have very permissive loss utilisation regulations. This paves the way for UAE-based companies to file their taxes as a single entity. In the event of a loss and/or an intragroup transaction, they can file a relief claim on their own behalf as a group (units).
