UAE Corporate Tax & VAT Compliance

With the introduction of Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on Corporate Tax and the established VAT laws, UAE companies operate in a modern regulatory landscape. Ensuring timely tax registrations and filings is critical to avoid substantial administrative penalties.

We assist Mainland and Free Zone companies with VAT registrations, corporate tax filings, outsourced accounting, audit support, and guide qualification under 0% qualifying Free Zone income rules.

FAQ

UAE Compliance Q&A

Do you provide services for both India and UAE?

Yes. We maintain fully separate practices for Indian and UAE jurisdictions. This enables us to assist domestic Indian businesses, UAE entities, and cross-border NRI business owners who require compliance coordination across both markets, ensuring compliance under the ICAI and the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

What is VAT registration in the UAE?

VAT registration is a statutory requirement for UAE businesses. Registration is mandatory if taxable turnover and imports exceed AED 375,000 in the preceding 12 months, and optional (voluntary) if they exceed AED 187,500. Once registered, businesses must charge 5% VAT on taxable supplies, file quarterly or monthly returns, and maintain compliant tax invoices.

What is corporate tax registration?

UAE Corporate Tax registration is the process of obtaining a Corporate Tax Registration Number (CTRN) from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, all judicial persons incorporated in the UAE (including Free Zone companies) must register. Late registration attracts administrative penalties of AED 10,000.
