Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What corporate tax services does Valunxt provide?
Valunxt provides support with registration, tax calculations, return preparation, filing and compliance. Your engagement can also include free-zone assessments, Small Business Relief reviews, tax advisory and deregistration support, depending on your requirements.
Q2: What are the corporate tax rates in the UAE?
Under the standard regime, the first AED 375,000 of taxable income is taxed at 0%, and the amount above it at 9%. A separate Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax framework provides for a 15% minimum effective rate for multinational groups within scope. It generally covers groups with global revenue of at least €750 million in at least two of the four preceding financial years.
Q3: Who needs to register for corporate tax?
UAE companies generally need to register unless an applicable exception applies, including free-zone companies. Individuals conducting business generally fall within corporate tax when UAE business turnover exceeds AED 1 million in a calendar year. Registration can be required even when no tax is payable.
Q4: Do free-zone companies automatically receive 0% tax?
No. A Qualifying Free Zone Person can benefit from 0% on Qualifying Income when the relevant conditions are met. These include substance, qualifying income, transfer pricing and audited financial statement requirements. Free-zone incorporation or overseas customers alone do not establish eligibility.
Q5: Can my business claim Small Business Relief?
Eligible resident persons may elect for relief where revenue does not exceed AED 3 million in the current and all previous relevant tax periods. Other conditions and exclusions apply. Qualifying Free Zone Persons and certain multinational-group members cannot claim this relief.
Q6: When is the return due, and what are the late-filing penalties?
Returns and payment are generally due within nine months after the tax period ends. Late-return penalties are AED 500 per month or part of a month for the first 12 months, rising to AED 1,000 per month or part thereafter. Late registration can attract a separate AED 10,000 penalty, subject to applicable waiver provisions.
Q7: What documents are needed for corporate tax filing?
Typical documents include financial statements, ledgers, invoices and records supporting tax adjustments or reliefs. Relevant records must generally be retained for seven years after the tax period ends. Related-party dealings may require additional disclosures and transfer pricing documentation, depending on applicable thresholds.
Q8: How much do corporate tax services in Dubai cost?
Fees depend on the scope, transaction volume, condition of your accounts and complexity of the tax position. Free-zone assessments, related-party transactions and accounting corrections may require additional work. Contact Valunxt for a quote based on your business needs.
