When is the Corporate Tax return due?
Within nine months of the end of the tax period. For a year ending 31 December, that is 30 September of the following year. Payment of the tax falls on the same date.
Does my company qualify for Small Business Relief?
Resident persons with revenue of up to AED 3 million in the period, and in each earlier period, can elect for it. Ministerial Decision No. 131 of 2026 extended it to tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029. Some entities, such as Qualifying Free Zone Persons, are excluded.
When must I register for VAT?
Registration is mandatory when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the last twelve months, or are expected to in the next thirty days. Voluntary registration is possible from AED 187,500.
Is my free zone company exempt from Corporate Tax?
Not automatically. A free zone company pays 0% on qualifying income only if it meets the Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions, including keeping audited financial statements. Other income is taxed at 9%.
When does e-invoicing start?
The rollout is phased. Large businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more were due to appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 31 July 2026, with issuing mandatory from 1 January 2027. Smaller businesses follow in 2027. The team confirms the dates that apply to you.
How are tax services priced?
Each service is quoted in AED after a short call, based on your company and the scope of the request.
