What Is a Tax Agency for Corporate Tax in the UAE?
A tax agency for corporate tax is there to help businesses manage their tax responsibilities under UAE tax laws. They can assist with things like corporate tax registration, tax return preparation, taxable income calculations, compliance checks and ongoing tax guidance.
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) is responsible for administering UAE corporate tax and provides official registration, filing and taxpayer support services. Businesses can appoint an eligible tax agent to help with their tax obligations, and this is all done under an agreed engagement.
Flying Colour Tax Consultant provides corporate tax support to help entrepreneurs get to grips with the rules, sort out their financial information and prepare for their tax requirements.
Why Is Corporate Tax Important for UAE Businesses?
Corporate tax is a must for any business looking to operate within the UAE by the book. Companies need to understand how the tax works, what records they need to keep and when they need to submit their tax returns.
The UAE corporate tax regime came into force for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. Under the standard regime, the main rates are:
On taxable income exceeding AED 375,000
These rates apply to taxable income, not just to total sales or revenue. Businesses need to work out their taxable income in line with the applicable corporate tax rules.
Free zone companies should pay close attention to the regulations, too. Just because you're a free zone business, it doesn't automatically mean you get a 0% corporate tax rate on all your income. A free zone business needs to meet certain conditions to qualify for the 0% rate on qualifying income.
With the help of a corporate tax consultant in Dubai, businesses can get a better understanding of these requirements and make informed financial decisions.
From first registration to ongoing support
What Corporate Tax Services Does Flying Colour Tax Consultant Offer?
Flying Colour Tax Consultant supports UAE businesses with corporate tax compliance, documentation, tax planning and related advisory needs. What services are needed will depend on the company's set-up, business activities, financial situation and tax status.
01Corporate Tax Registration Assistance
If your business falls within the applicable rules, you need to register for corporate tax with the FTA. Registration involves setting up or accessing an EmaraTax account, getting all the necessary documents ready and completing the application. A Corporate Tax Registration Number is issued once the FTA approves the registration.
Our team can help you navigate the corporate tax registration process, get all the documents sorted and review the information that needs to be submitted.
The FTA has set different registration deadlines according to the rules and the type of taxpayer. Missing those deadlines can result in a penalty, so businesses should check their individual deadlines rather than waiting until the end of the financial year.
02Corporate Tax Return Preparation and Filing
Corporate tax returns are what you use to report on your business's tax liability for a given tax period. Accurate financial records and a proper understanding of tax adjustments are key to preparing a reliable return.
Our corporate tax return filing services can help businesses sort their accounting information, review relevant income and expenses, identify any applicable adjustments and get their tax return ready for submission.
Under the general UAE corporate tax rules, businesses need to submit their tax return and pay any tax due within nine months after the end of the relevant tax period, subject to any special rules or legislation.
03Taxable Income Calculation
Just because you've got a profit, it doesn't automatically mean you'll have a taxable income. There could be adjustments needed for exempt income, non-deductible expenditure or other items specified under UAE tax legislation.
Our corporate tax pre-assessment service can help review your financial statements and identify applicable adjustments.
Taking the time to get this right will help businesses understand their tax liability and avoid relying on an incorrect estimate.
04Free Zone Corporate Tax Support
Free zone businesses often need extra guidance because their corporate tax treatment depends on their circumstances and compliance with specific conditions. A Qualifying Free Zone Person is subject to 0% corporate tax on qualifying income and 9% on taxable income that is not qualifying income. Qualifying status depends on meeting the applicable substance, income and compliance requirements.
Our team is here to help free zone entrepreneurs like you review your business set-up, figure out what requirements apply, and identify areas where you might need to do some extra work.
05Corporate Tax Compliance Reviews
When we do a corporate tax compliance review, we are essentially checking to see whether your business is treating its books right - are the numbers adding up, and are the tax processes squared away with what is expected?
The review may touch on financial statements, income classification, expense records, tax adjustments, supporting documents, and filing arrangements. It's one of those things that's easier to do early on - so you can fix any errors and make sure your internal processes are in order before you file your return or respond to a request from the FTA.
06Small Business Relief Guidance
If you are a UAE resident taxable person, you might be eligible for Small Business Relief for tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029 - but only if you meet all the applicable conditions. Essentially, the relief is for businesses that don't have too much revenue - AED 3 million or less in a tax period and the previous years too.
Small Business Relief is not available to Qualifying Free Zone Persons or members of multinational enterprise groups with consolidated group revenue exceeding AED 3.15 billion. Our team can help you assess eligibility, the relevant election and supporting documentation. Being a small business does not automatically mean you qualify.
07Corporate Tax Recordkeeping and Documentation
Good recordkeeping really does pay off in the long run - you'll find it easier to get your tax sorted when you need to. Our corporate tax support can help you figure out what financial records, invoices, contracts, statements, and other supporting documents you need to keep on hand.
And having organised records also makes future tax reviews a breeze. I mean, who wants to be digging through a year's worth of receipts at the last minute? Not me, that's for sure.

Flying Colour Tax Consultant (Tax Agency Number 30008296) can provide corporate tax advisory and consultancy services to businesses in the mainland and free zones in the UAE.
What is the UAE corporate tax rate?
The tax rate for corporate tax in the UAE is 0% for taxable income of AED 375,000 and below and 9% for taxable income of more than AED 375,000. The tax rate applies to taxable income and not revenue. Taxation applies to financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023.
Do all businesses in the UAE need to register for corporate tax?
If you are a taxable person in the UAE, you must register on the EmaraTax portal with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Depending on your category of taxpayer, you may have a deadline for registration. If you fail to register on time, you may be charged penalties. It is, therefore, important to check your deadline for registration for tax purposes.
When is the UAE corporate tax return due?
The due date for filing your tax return and paying any taxes that are due is nine months after the end of the relevant tax period. Deadlines may differ for taxpayers that fall under special regimes due to a specific law. You can, therefore, consult your tax expert or the FTA to confirm the deadline for filing corporate tax.
Do free zone companies pay 0% corporate tax?
The 0% tax rate applies to the qualifying income of a Qualifying Free Zone Person. Taxable income that is not qualifying income is subject to 9% corporate tax. The qualifying conditions must be met; being located in a free zone does not automatically qualify a business for 0% tax.
What is Small Business Relief in the UAE?
Small Business Relief is an elective relief for eligible UAE resident taxable persons with revenue of AED 3 million or less in the relevant and all previous tax periods. It applies to tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029, subject to the applicable conditions. Qualifying Free Zone Persons and members of multinational enterprise groups with consolidated revenue exceeding AED 3.15 billion are excluded. A tax adviser can help assess eligibility.
Is taxable income the same as accounting profit?
There may be differences between your accounting profit and taxable income. You may have to make adjustments to your books and records for some income that may not be taxable and expenses that may not be deductible. It is, therefore, essential to adjust your accounting profit to arrive at your taxable income.
What records should a UAE business keep for corporate tax?
Ensure you retain your financial statements and supporting documents, including invoices and contracts, to support your income and expenses in the tax filings. It is also advisable to keep your banking statements and any other records that may support your tax filings. You can, therefore, avoid the headaches of filing tax returns with inaccurate figures.
What does a corporate tax compliance review involve?
A tax compliance review involves a conformity assessment of procedures and methods used in preparing your financial statements and tax returns. Your accountant, auditor, or tax adviser can perform this review. It can also consist of a detailed examination of financial statements, income and expense analysis, tax computations and adjustments, supporting documentation, income tax filings, and procedures for filing returns. You can, therefore, avoid the stress of filing returns with mistakes by requesting a tax compliance review.
How do I choose a corporate tax consultant in Dubai?
You should choose a corporate tax consultant that is registered and whose tax agent possesses the necessary expertise and experience. A competent tax consultant should also be able to explain the tax law and tax implications of your business decisions. You can, therefore, ensure that Flying Colour Tax Consultant (Tax Agency Number 30008296) has the necessary qualifications by checking their credentials.
