Take the Stress Out of Corporate Tax Returns

Corporate tax compliance is easier with experts on your side – we help you avoid errors and penalties. Filing your corporate tax return is now an annual reality for UAE businesses under the new tax regime. After the end of each financial year, companies need to calculate their taxable profits and submit a corporate tax return (and payment, if any tax is due) to the Federal Tax Authority. The deadline for filing is typically 9 months after the end of your tax period​, giving some time but also placing responsibility on businesses to get it right. Preparing this return can be complex – you must consider revenue, deductible expenses, any exemptions or relief (like small business relief), and then apply the correct 0% or 9% rate. Errors or late filings can result in fines or even draw scrutiny/audits. Reflechir Consultancy FZE offers end-to-end corporate tax filing services to SME businesses in the UAE. We ensure your financial statements are translated correctly into tax figures, all allowable deductions are claimed, and the final return is accurate and submitted on time. With our help, you can confidently meet your corporate tax obligations without poring over tax law details.

Compliance & Peace of Mind

Corporate tax is new for everyone – we remove the uncertainty. Our experts stay updated with UAE tax laws and FTA regulations, ensuring your return is fully compliant. We prepare the return in the prescribed format, so you can have peace of mind that it meets all legal requirements.

Minimize Audit Risk

A correctly filed and substantiated tax return greatly reduces the likelihood of any red flags. By using professional help, you reduce errors or omissions. In the event the FTA does seek clarification, we stand by you to provide explanations or documentation.

Free Consultation & Ongoing Support

We begin with a free consultation to review your financial situation and prior year accounts. If you’re unsure about how the corporate tax applies to you, we’ll clarify it upfront. After filing, we remain available year-round for any tax planning, installment questions, or advice on record-keeping. Think of us as your long-term tax partner, not just a one-time service.

Our Corporate Tax Filing Process

Financial Review & Consultation

We start by examining your financial statements for the year (profit & loss statement, balance sheet) in a free initial consultation. We identify any special items – for example, if you have income that might be exempt or one-time expenses – and plan the best tax treatment. We’ll also discuss any tax reliefs you might be eligible for, such as Small Business Relief (for revenues under AED 3 million) or startup expense deductions. This step ensures we have a clear roadmap for your tax return preparation.

Tax Computation & Planning

Next, our tax specialists adjust your accounting profit to arrive at the taxable profit. We add back any non-deductible expenses (for instance, fines or entertaining expenses that aren’t allowed for tax) and subtract any exempt income or relief amounts. We also account for depreciation in the format allowed by tax law, and handle carry-forward losses if you have previous losses to apply. If your profit is below AED 375k, you may owe 0% tax – we’ll confirm that. If above, we calculate 9% on the portion above AED 375k. Through smart tax planning within legal limits, we aim to minimize your tax liability. We’ll share this computation with you for transparency.

Preparation of the Tax Return

Using the computations, we fill out the official UAE corporate tax return form. This includes all required sections: your company info, financial figures, adjustments, calculated taxable income, and the resulting tax payable (or zero payable if applicable). We attach or include any required schedules – for example, detailed financial statements or disclosures if you’re claiming specific exemptions. This draft return is then reviewed thoroughly by our senior consultant to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Filing & Submission to FTA

Once you give us the go-ahead on the figures, Reflechir will submit the corporate tax return electronically to the FTA on your behalf. We make sure to file it within the deadline (which is within 9 months after your year-end). If tax is due, we will provide you with the payment voucher/details and instructions on how to pay it to the FTA (and we’ll remind you of the payment deadline). After submission, we confirm that your return was successfully received by the FTA. Your company then has fulfilled its annual filing requirement! We keep a record of the filed return and can assist with any follow-up queries from the FTA, if they arise.

By following this process, we turn what could be a stressful annual task into a smooth routine. You’ll know your taxes are handled correctly, leaving you free to focus on business growth. Contact us to get started with your upcoming corporate tax filing.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do companies need to file their corporate tax returns in the UAE?
Companies are required to file a corporate tax return once per year, and the deadline is within 9 months after the end of the relevant financial year​. For example, if your financial year runs from January 1 to December 31, 2024, your corporate tax return for that year must be filed by September 30, 2025. If your year goes from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, your return would be due by December 31, 2025, and so on. The exact due date will depend on your fiscal year. There are no quarterly filings for corporate tax (unlike VAT) – it’s just the annual return. We will identify your deadline and ensure your return is submitted well ahead of it. Remember, payment of any tax due is also due by that same deadline.
Yes, they do. All UAE companies, including those in Free Zones, must file annual corporate tax returns. If you are a Qualifying Free Zone Person benefiting from a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income, you will still need to report your income and claim the 0% rate in the return. Essentially, you declare your profits and then apply the 0% so that no tax is due on qualifying profits – but the filing of the return is mandatory. The return will show the calculations and assert that you owe zero tax under the free zone provisions. It’s important to do this to remain compliant; simply skipping the return because you think you have no tax to pay can result in penalties. We have experience with free zone filings and will ensure your return correctly reflects your status so you maintain your tax benefits.
If your company made a loss, the corporate tax return will show a taxable loss, and obviously no tax will be payable (since the 9% only applies to profits). The good news is that under UAE corporate tax rules, you can carry forward losses to offset against future taxable profits (with some conditions). We will record your tax loss in the return properly so that it can be used in future years. If your profit was small (for instance below AED 375k), your tax calculation would result in zero payable due to the 0% rate on that band – but you still file the return. Additionally, if your revenue (sales) was below AED 3 million, you might be eligible for Small Business Relief, meaning you can elect to be treated as having no taxable income for the year (again resulting in no tax). In that case, we’ll fill in the necessary election in the return. In summary, whether you have a loss or a modest profit, we’ll make sure your return captures it correctly and carries forward any benefits for you (zero tax this year, and potential loss relief next year).
While the exact penalty amounts for corporate tax filing are outlined by the FTA (and are similar in spirit to VAT penalties), you can expect fines for late filing and late payment. If you miss the filing deadline, there will likely be a fixed late filing penalty (potentially thousands of dirhams). For late payment of the tax due, additional daily or monthly interest/penalties can accrue as a percentage of the unpaid tax. Moreover, if the FTA finds inaccuracies in your return that amount to underpaying tax, they could impose penalties on the underpaid amount. It’s important to file on time and accurately to avoid these. That’s exactly why our service exists – to shield you from such penalties. We make sure your return is submitted within the timeframe and calculated correctly. If for some reason you are approaching a deadline without all information ready, we’d advise on potential extensions or solutions. Rest assured, with Reflechir handling your filing, the risk of penalties is greatly minimized.
The UAE has introduced a Small Business Relief program precisely to help small businesses. If your revenue is under AED 3 million for the relevant tax year (and also was under that threshold in preceding years), you can elect to be treated as having zero taxable profit for that year under the relief​. In simple terms, this means you wouldn’t pay corporate tax for that year even if you made a profit – it’s a way to ease very small businesses into the tax system. This relief is available for tax periods up to 2026 as of now. However, even if you qualify and take this relief, you still need to file a corporate tax return. The return will include an election for Small Business Relief, and effectively show no taxable income. Our team will help determine if you’re eligible (e.g., your revenue must not exceed AED 3M in the year and previous years, and some other conditions apply) and, if so, we’ll ensure the relief is claimed in your filing. This way, you remain fully compliant but legally pay no tax under the relief provision. It’s a great incentive – we’ll make sure you don’t miss out if it applies to you.
