Corporate Tax registration with the FTA is mandatory for almost every UAE business, regardless of whether tax is ultimately owed. We handle registration, computation, and filing, and help you understand where reliefs such as Small Business Relief or Qualifying Free Zone status genuinely apply to your business.
Getting this right from registration onward avoids the two most common failure points: businesses that register but file without proper supporting bookkeeping, and businesses that assume an exemption applies without confirming it.
What’s Included
- Corporate tax registration with the FTA
- Taxable income computation and return filing
- Transfer pricing documentation
- Tax grouping and loss utilisation planning
- Substance requirements advice
- Corporate tax health checks and readiness reviews

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register if my business made no profit?
Yes. Registration is mandatory for almost all UAE businesses regardless of profitability, and missing the deadline carries a fixed penalty.
What is Small Business Relief and do I qualify?
It's an election available to businesses below a prescribed revenue threshold that removes the need for a full tax computation. It isn't automatic and isn't right for every business — we can confirm whether it applies to you.
Does my Free Zone company automatically pay 0% tax?
No. Only income that meets the specific 'Qualifying Income' definition retains the 0% rate, and the entity must maintain adequate substance in the zone. This is one of the most common misunderstandings we see.
