The UAE has evolved into one of the region's most structured tax jurisdictions. With the introduction of VAT in 2018 and Corporate Tax effective June 2023, every business operating in the UAE must now navigate a defined compliance landscape governed by the Federal Tax Authority. Non-compliance carries significant consequences — from monetary penalties and interest charges to potential deregistration and reputational damage. Accurate, timely filings are no longer optional; they are foundational to business continuity.

Talk to an advisorA consultant's job is to keep you ahead of deadlines rather than reacting to them. We assess whether you cross the VAT or Corporate Tax registration thresholds, register you with the FTA where required, reconcile your records before a return is prepared, file on time, and then monitor upcoming deadlines and regulatory changes on your behalf. Most penalties we see come from missed thresholds or late filings, not from complex tax positions.
Late filing may result in penalties imposed by the Federal Tax Authority, and interest can accrue on unpaid amounts. Persistent non-compliance can escalate to deregistration. Exact penalty amounts are set by the FTA and change over time, so we won't quote a figure here — we track your deadlines specifically so this doesn't arise, and if you're already late we'll advise on the fastest route back into compliance.
Yes. We prepare your documentation and provide professional representation during Federal Tax Authority audits, so responses are clear, consistent, and supported by your records. Outcomes remain at the FTA's discretion — what we control is the quality and completeness of what's put in front of them.
VAT returns are typically filed quarterly, though some businesses are assigned monthly periods by the FTA depending on turnover. Corporate Tax is filed annually, following your financial year. Your exact filing periods are set by the FTA on registration, and we confirm them with you rather than assuming a default.
In most cases yes — registration and filing obligations apply regardless of whether tax is ultimately payable. A qualifying freezone business may benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income, but that relief has conditions and still requires you to be registered and to file. We assess your position rather than assuming freezone automatically means exempt.
