End-to-end UAE Corporate Tax compliance
One engagement can cover the full journey from registration to filing and post-filing support.
Who may need to register and file
UAE Corporate Tax applies to tax periods beginning on or after 1 June 2023. The analysis depends on the person, incorporation, residence, activities and any exemption.
Corporate Tax registration support
KGRN prepares the registration file, checks the legal and licence information and submits through EmaraTax. The FTA registration service itself is free — professional fees apply for KGRN's review, preparation and submission support.
Typical registration documents
The exact requirements depend on the legal form, ownership, branch structure and information already held in EmaraTax.
What we test before the return is filed
A Corporate Tax return is not simply a profit figure uploaded from the accounts. The accounting result must be tested against the Corporate Tax Law, elections, reliefs and required disclosures.
Filing deadlines and payment
The general rule is that the return and any Corporate Tax payable are due within nine months from the end of the relevant tax period, unless a different deadline applies under an FTA decision or transitional measure.
These examples apply the general nine-month rule. Confirm the FTA tax period shown in EmaraTax and check for any special decision before relying on a date.
A 0% rate is not the same as no compliance
A return may still be required even when no tax is payable.
A Free Zone licence does not create an automatic 0% position
A Free Zone Person seeking Qualifying Free Zone Person treatment must satisfy the relevant conditions throughout the tax period and correctly classify its income.
Review my Free Zone tax position →Small Business Relief
Eligible UAE resident persons with revenue not exceeding AED 3 million in the relevant and all previous tax periods may elect for Small Business Relief, subject to the law and exclusions. Under the 2026 extension, the relief applies to eligible tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029.
Financial statements, audit and record keeping
Corporate Tax compliance starts with reliable accounts. KGRN can align bookkeeping, year-end reporting, tax computation and audit requirements in one workstream.
Penalties and late compliance
Late compliance is recoverable more often than businesses expect, but the route depends on what was missed and when.
