UAE corporate tax now applies to most businesses. Under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, the UAE corporate tax rate is 0% on profits up to AED 375,000 and 9% above that, while multinationals with global revenues over AED 3.15 billion pay 15% under OECD Pillar Two rules.
Dubai corporate tax compliance looks simple, but deadlines and business structure decide your final bill. Returns are due nine months after your financial year-end, with no FTA extensions. Most businesses file late and pay a 14% annual interest penalty plus fines.
CorpLex corporate tax consultants bring 15+ years of experience to assess your structure, identify reliefs, and keep you compliant under UAE corporate tax law.
CorpLex is among the FTA-approved tax consultants serving mainland SMEs, Free Zone entities, multinationals, and multi-entity groups across:
Missing the FTA registration window triggers an AED 10,000 penalty. CorpLex classifies your entity as Resident, Non-Resident, or QFZP and completes EmaraTax registration on time.
Your structure as a mainland LLC, free zone FZE, or sole establishment locks in obligations for years. CorpLex maps revenue, costs, and legal setup against FTA rules.
Most businesses overpay by missing deductions, reliefs, or structural advantages. CorpLex reviews group architecture, free zone setup, and expense eligibility to cut your rate within FTA rules.
Late EmaraTax submissions invite 14% annual interest plus monthly fines. CorpLex prepares IFRS-aligned financials and files before the nine-month deadline.
CT law evolves fast. Cabinet Decision No. 129 of 2025 rewrote penalties, and Ministerial Decisions keep shifting free zone qualifying rules. CorpLex aligns filings with current FTA guidance.
Sell goods or services to a sister company, branch, or related party? The FTA requires those prices to match market rates. CorpLex identifies related-party deals and aligns pricing with UAE law.
We review your trade license, financial year, revenue streams, and entity type to set your registration deadline and filing approach.
We send a tailored checklist covering trade licence, financials, bank statements, and contracts.
We reconcile books against UAE corporate tax rules, adjusting depreciation, related-party items, non-deductible expenses, and exempt income.
We compute taxable income, apply every relief you qualify for, and share the final return for review.
We submit through the FTA EmaraTax portal and handle post-filing FTA queries.
CorpLex is not an accounting firm that added tax as a side service. We are a business setup and compliance consultancy with 15 years of UAE regulatory experience, so we know how your structure interacts with FTA rules.
Here’s what to expect:
Already registered? Your work is not done. Returns are due nine months after finanyear-end, and the FTA does not grant extensions.
Not registered yet? The AED 10,000 penalty applies whether you owe tax or not. CorpLex reviews your structure, secures your reliefs, and files your return so you meet every obligation without overpaying.
