Corporate tax support uae: common questions
Can you help with corporate tax registration?
Registration support can form part of an agreed engagement. We first review your business information and current registration status, then confirm the documents and next steps.
What should I prepare for a corporate tax discussion?
Start with your trade licence, registration information, financial year, financial statements and trial balance. The detailed checklist depends on your activities and transactions.
Does a free zone licence automatically settle the tax position?
The licence alone does not establish the tax treatment of every activity or income stream. Your circumstances and supporting records need a specific review; we do not assume a result from the company location.
From registration to return preparation
Corporate tax preparation is a continuing records process. We discuss your business activities, registration status, financial year and current accounting position to define the support you need. The agreed work can include registration assistance, a document request list, accounting schedules and return preparation support. Questions requiring a specific tax treatment are identified for review.
A clear link between accounts and tax records
Your working file should explain where the figures came from and which documents support them. We help organise financial statements, trial balances, transaction schedules and relevant agreements into a usable review trail. If the accounts are incomplete, bookkeeping and accounts cleanup may need to happen before the tax preparation work can progress.
Plan document retention and review responsibilities
The Federal Tax Authority states that relevant corporate tax records must be retained for at least seven years after the end of the relevant tax period. Build that requirement into your filing structure and agree who reviews and approves the information. See our guide to organising corporate tax records and the FTA record-retention guidance.
