Corporate Tax Consultants Dubai - Expert Consulting Services for Businesses UAE

Our Corporate Tax Consulting Services in Dubai

At Takween Advisory, we offer a comprehensive suite of corporate tax services tailored to the unique needs of businesses operating in the UAE.

1. Corporate Tax Assessment & Readiness

Before anything else, we conduct a thorough review of your business structure, financial statements, and current operations to assess your corporate tax exposure. Our consultants identify:

• Your tax residency status in the UAE
• Whether you qualify for small business relief or free zone exemptions
• Potential taxable income adjustments
• Areas of tax risk that require immediate attention

This assessment forms the foundation of a robust corporate tax strategy designed specifically for your business.

2. Corporate Tax Registration

All businesses subject to UAE Corporate Tax are required to register with the FTA and obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN). Our team handles the entire registration process on your behalf, ensuring:

• Accurate and timely submission of registration applications
• Correct classification of entity type (resident, non-resident, free zone person)
• Coordination with the FTA for any follow-up requirements
• Deregistration services when applicable

Missing registration deadlines can result in administrative penalties. Let our experts ensure your business is registered correctly from day one.

3. Corporate Tax Return Filing

Filing your corporate tax return accurately and on time is a critical compliance obligation. Takween Advisory's corporate tax consultants in Dubai prepare and submit your tax returns with precision, covering:

• Computation of taxable income based on audited financial statements
• Identification and application of all eligible deductions and reliefs
• Adjustment of book profits to taxable profits per UAE Corporate Tax Law
• Reconciliation of related-party transactions in line with arm's length principles
• Timely submission through the EmaraTax portal

We ensure your returns are complete, accurate, and filed well before the FTA deadline.

4. Corporate Tax Planning & Optimization

Compliance is just the beginning. Our corporate tax advisors go further by helping you structure your business affairs in a tax-efficient manner - fully within the bounds of UAE law.

Our tax planning services include:

• Structuring business transactions to maximize allowable deductions
• Advising on group tax relief and tax loss utilization
• Evaluating the tax implications of mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring
• Free zone optimization - understanding qualifying income rules and compliance requirements
• Small Business Relief eligibility assessment for businesses with revenues under AED 3 million
• Transfer pricing strategy and documentation

Proactive tax planning can make a significant difference to your bottom line. Our goal is to ensure you never pay more tax than you legally owe.

5. Transfer Pricing Advisory

Transfer pricing is one of the most scrutinized areas under UAE Corporate Tax Law. Businesses that engage in related-party transactions must ensure those transactions are conducted at arm's length and are properly documented.

Takween Advisory's transfer pricing services include:

• Transfer pricing policy design and documentation
• Benchmarking studies to support arm's length pricing
• Master File and Local File preparation
• Advice on Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) obligations
• FTA audit support for transfer pricing reviews

Inadequate transfer pricing documentation is a significant risk area. Our specialists ensure your intercompany transactions withstand FTA scrutiny.

6. FTA Audit Support & Tax Dispute Resolution

An FTA tax audit can be stressful, disruptive, and costly if you are not prepared. Our team provides full support throughout the audit process, from preparation to resolution.

Our audit support services cover:

• Pre-audit health checks and documentation review
• Preparation of responses to FTA queries and information requests
• Representation before the FTA during audit proceedings
• Dispute resolution and objection filing if assessments are challenged
• Post-audit compliance improvements to prevent future issues

7. Corporate Tax Accounting & Financial Reporting

Your financial statements are the foundation of your corporate tax return. Our accounting specialists ensure your books are maintained in accordance with IFRS standards and are fully aligned with UAE Corporate Tax requirements.

Services include:

• Preparation and review of financial statements
• Tax provision calculations for interim and year-end reporting
• Deferred tax accounting under IFRS
• Chart of accounts structuring for optimal tax reporting
• Accounting for related-party and group transactions

8. Corporate Tax Compliance for Free Zone Entities

Free zone companies in Dubai have long enjoyed significant tax incentives. Under the new corporate tax regime, Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) can continue to benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income, provided they meet strict conditions.

Takween Advisory helps free zone businesses:

• Determine whether they qualify as a QFZP
• Understand what constitutes qualifying income vs. non-qualifying income
• Maintain adequate substance requirements within the free zone
• Ensure compliance with de minimis thresholds for non-qualifying revenue
• Navigate the transition from legacy free zone tax holidays to the new framework

Non-compliance with QFZP conditions can result in losing the 0% benefit for the entire tax period - an expensive mistake that our experts help you avoid.

Who Needs Corporate Tax Consultants in Dubai?

Corporate tax compliance is not just a concern for large multinationals. Under the UAE Corporate Tax Law, the following businesses are generally required to register and comply:

• Mainland UAE companies (LLCs, sole establishments, civil companies)
• Free zone entities - including those claiming QFZP status
• Foreign companies with a permanent establishment in the UAE
• Non-resident businesses earning UAE-sourced income
• Holding companies and group entities with complex intercompany arrangements
• Professional service firms (consultancies, law firms, engineering firms)
• E-commerce businesses operating in or through the UAE

If your business generates revenue in the UAE, you almost certainly have a corporate tax obligation. Ignoring it carries the risk of penalties, back taxes, and reputational damage.

UAE Corporate Tax: Key Deadlines to Know

Staying on top of FTA deadlines is essential. Missing key dates triggers automatic administrative penalties.

Corporate Tax Penalties in the UAE

The FTA imposes strict administrative penalties for non-compliance. These include:

• AED 10,000 for failure to register for corporate tax on time (first offense)
• AED 20,000 for repeat failure to register
• AED 500 per month for failure to maintain proper financial records (rising to AED 1,000 per month for repeat violations)
• Penalties of up to 300% of unpaid taxes for tax evasion
• Additional penalties for late filing, incorrect returns, and failure to cooperate with FTA audits

The cost of non-compliance far exceeds the cost of working with a qualified corporate tax consultant. Takween Advisory helps you stay penalty-free.
