UAE Corporate Tax: Registration, Filing & Advisory
9% doesn't have to be complicated — TFZ keeps you registered, structured and filed on time
Corporate tax is now part of doing business in the UAE: a 9% tax applies on business profits above AED 375,000, while profits up to that threshold are taxed at 0%. Every business — mainland and free zone, large and small — must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and file a return every year, even if no tax is due. Miss registration or a filing deadline and penalties apply automatically. TFZ handles the full corporate tax cycle: registration, structuring, calculation and filing — explained in plain language, delivered on time.

Our Corporate Tax Services
Practical corporate tax support from registration to filing.
Registration
We register your company with the FTA correctly the first time — legal entity details, financial year, and activity classification all matter later. Already late? We handle registration and advise on penalty positions honestly.
Tax Assessment & Structuring
Before filing, we work out where you actually stand: taxable income, Small Business Relief eligibility, Qualifying Free Zone Person status, and how your group or holding structure affects the outcome.
The right structure, set early, is worth far more than clever filing later.
Return Preparation & Filing
We prepare your computation from your books, apply reliefs and adjustments, and file your return through the FTA portal before the deadline.
You receive a clear summary of what you owe and why.
