Corporate Tax

With UAE Corporate Tax now live at 9% (0% for qualifying free zone entities), compliance is critical. Our services cover registration, tax computations, return filings, advance pricing agreements, and audits with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). We assist with qualifying free zone determinations, loss carryforwards, and nexus rules, ensuring accurate reporting and defensible positions.

Transfer Pricing

Robust transfer pricing documentation is mandatory under UAE CT rules. We develop master files, local files, and country-by-country reports aligned with OECD guidelines and FTA requirements. Our benchmarking studies, functional analyses, and policy designs help substantiate arm’s-length pricing, reducing adjustment risks for intra-group transactions.

Value Added Tax

VAT at 5% requires ongoing compliance. We handle registrations, returns, reconciliations, partial exemption calculations, and FTA audits. Services include reverse charge mechanisms, import VAT recovery, and group registrations, optimizing cash flow and input tax credits.
