Corporate Tax Return Filing
Your first Corporate Tax return sets the baseline the FTA will measure you against for years. We prepare it from reconciled numbers and file it on time.
Overview
Corporate Tax returns must be filed within nine months of the financial year end. We prepare the tax computation from your accounts — adjustments, reliefs, exempt income, carried-forward losses — and file through EmaraTax with a complete supporting file.
Because we reconcile the accounting numbers first, the return is defensible. Every adjustment is documented, so if the FTA ever asks, the answer already exists.
Why it matters
Late corporate tax registration alone carries an AED 10,000 penalty. We keep you ahead of every deadline. Engagements are scoped by a senior adviser, priced as a fixed fee before work begins, and delivered by the same team that answers when you call.

Common Questions
When is my Corporate Tax return due?
Within nine months of your financial year end — for a December year end, by the following 30 September. Payment is due by the same date.
What if my books aren't ready?
That is the most common cause of late, wrong returns. We combine catch-up bookkeeping with the tax computation so the return is built on reconciled numbers, not estimates.
How are your fees structured for corporate tax return filing?
Every engagement is a fixed fee agreed in writing before work begins — scoped by a senior adviser after a short, free review of your situation. No hourly billing, no surprises, and the quote itself is free.
Do you work with free zone and mainland companies?
Yes — we act for mainland, free zone and offshore entities across the UAE. Free zone rules, including Qualifying Free Zone Person status, are assessed explicitly as part of the engagement since they change both the tax position and the documentation required.
What happens if the FTA asks questions later?
Every position we take is documented and defensible at the time we take it. If the FTA raises a query or opens an audit, the same team that did the work supports the response — including penalty mitigation and voluntary disclosure where relevant.
What do we need to provide to get started?
Typically your trade licence, ownership structure, recent financials and access to your accounting records. We send a short checklist after the first call and handle the heavy lifting from there.
