UAE Corporate Tax Specialists
UAE corporate tax is charged at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. Taxable income at or below AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%, and a business with revenue at or below AED 3 million can elect Small Business Relief. Your return is due within 9 months of your year end; missing the registration deadline is a one-off AED 10,000 penalty.
What you get
Ratio runs the full corporate tax file: FTA registration, the annual computation and return, and any correspondence that follows. Clients sit in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the other Emirates.
FTA registration end to end: document pack, online submission, and your Tax Registration Number. Late registration costs AED 10,000, so this is dated first.
Annual return prepared and filed within 9 months of your year end, with supporting schedules and transfer pricing documentation where related-party transactions apply.
Group structuring, loss utilisation, exemption tests, and Small Business Relief where revenue is at or below AED 3 million. Positions are written down and referenced.
FTA queries, assessments, objections, and penalty appeals. We write the response and hold the correspondence file.
How it works
Registration dates lead the calendar, because missing one costs AED 10,000. The return follows within 9 months of your year end, prepared from your books and supported by written positions you can hand to the FTA.
