Compliance of Corporate Tax in UAE
In the UAE, corporate tax compliance requires registration with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) if profits surpass AED 375,000, along with a 9% tax on those earnings. Companies are required to submit tax returns within nine months after the conclusion of the financial year and keep precise financial records with the help of corporate tax compliance services. Adhering to Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 is crucial to prevent penalties.
Dynamic economic development, globalization, business pressures, and continuous legislation amendments all force organizations to consider a new approach to the process of corporate tax accounting, preparation of corporate tax reporting documentation, and cooperation with the corporate tax authorities.
