Corporate Tax in the United Arab Emirates

Corporate Tax registration, tax return filing, compliance review, and advisory services in the UAE.

Corporate Tax in the UAE applies under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses, together with the related decisions and regulations.

Corporate Tax compliance is not limited to registration or annual tax return filing. It depends on proper accounting records, financial statements, supporting documents, and the correct tax treatment of business transactions.

What Is a Corporate Tax Return?

A Corporate Tax Return is the tax report submitted by a taxable person to the Federal Tax Authority for a specific tax period in accordance with the UAE Corporate Tax Law.

The Corporate Tax Return contains financial and tax information used to determine taxable income and any Corporate Tax payable.

Submitting a Corporate Tax Return is one of the primary compliance obligations for persons subject to UAE Corporate Tax.

Who Must Submit a Corporate Tax Return?

Persons and entities subject to the UAE Corporate Tax Law are generally required to submit a Corporate Tax Return within the deadlines prescribed by the Federal Tax Authority.

  • Limited Liability Companies (LLCs).
  • Free Zone Companies.
  • Branches of Foreign Companies.
  • Sole Establishments subject to Corporate Tax.
  • Natural Persons subject to Corporate Tax.
  • Other legal persons subject to the Corporate Tax Law.

Is a Tax Return Required Even If No Tax Is Payable?

In many cases, a Corporate Tax Return must still be submitted even if no Corporate Tax is payable.

The existence of losses or the absence of Corporate Tax liability does not necessarily remove the obligation to file a Corporate Tax Return.

Taxable persons should comply with all filing requirements in accordance with the applicable tax legislation and Federal Tax Authority guidance.

Must a Tax Return Be Filed in a Loss-Making Year?

A business may still be required to submit a Corporate Tax Return even where it has incurred losses during the tax period.

Proper reporting of losses and financial results forms an important part of Corporate Tax compliance.

Do Free Zone Companies Need to Submit Tax Returns?

Yes. In many situations, Free Zone companies are required to submit Corporate Tax Returns and maintain supporting records and documentation.

Benefiting from a preferential tax treatment or a 0% Corporate Tax rate does not automatically remove filing obligations.

Related Parties and Connected Person Transactions

These transactions should be reviewed carefully to determine the correct tax treatment and disclosure requirements.

Common Corporate Tax Return Errors

  • Failure to reconcile accounting records with the tax return.
  • Claiming non-deductible expenses.
  • Failure to disclose Related Party transactions.
  • Incorrect treatment of Free Zone entities.
  • Errors relating to tax losses.
  • Incorrect tax loss carry-forward treatment.
  • Failure to maintain supporting documentation.
  • Using incomplete financial information.

Penalties for Late Filing of Corporate Tax Returns
