Filed on Time
Tell us your financial year-end and our tax team will confirm your filing deadline.
Check Your Corporate Tax Filing Obligation Before the Deadline
Corporate tax runs under Federal Decree Law No. 47 of 2022, administered by the Federal Tax Authority (opens in a new tab). Here is the rule most businesses get wrong.
Every taxable person must file, even with zero profit or a 0% rate. That includes free zone companies, businesses claiming Small Business Relief, and companies running at a loss. The AED 375,000 line sets the 9% rate. It does not remove the duty to file. Foreign companies with a permanent establishment or UAE-sourced income may also need to file.

File Your Corporate Tax Return Before Penalties Start
The rule is simple. File and pay within nine months of your financial year-end. A 31 December 2025 year-end means 30 September 2026. That is weeks away, not months.

How long your records must be kept
We track your deadline, prepare early, and file with room to spare.
Complete Your Corporate Tax Return Filing From Calculation to Submission
Our consultants handle every step below for you.
With complete records, we can finish your filing in as little as one week.
Step 2
Prepare the financial statements
Your accounts must follow IFRS. Revenue above AED 50 million means audited statements are required. Every Qualifying Free Zone Person needs them too, under Ministerial Decision 82 of 2023. Our audit network covers that too.
Step 3
Compute taxable income
We start from accounting profit and apply the legal adjustments. Exempt dividend income comes out. Disallowed items, like half of entertainment costs, go back in. Related party transactions are checked against arm's length pricing.
Step 4
Claim every relief
The Small Business Relief election is made inside the filing itself, and we prepare it. Prior losses can offset up to 75% of taxable income. Foreign tax credits apply under the UAE's double taxation treaties.
Step 5
Attach the disclosures
Companies with related party transactions attach a transfer pricing disclosure. We prepare it with the filing, not as an afterthought.
Step 6
File and pay
We submit through the FTA EmaraTax portal (opens in a new tab) and confirm your exact liability. Payment goes through GIBAN transfer or card, within the same nine-month window.
With complete records, we can finish your filing in as little as one week.
Handle Complex Corporate Tax Filing UAE Requirements With Bestax
Tax groups
The parent company files one return for the whole group. Members do not file separately. We form the group and manage the single filing.
Free zone companies
Qualifying Free Zone Persons keep the 0% rate only by filing correctly, with audited statements. We protect the status while we file.
Foreign companies
A permanent establishment or UAE-sourced income can create a filing duty. We assess the exposure and handle the filing remotely.
Individuals in business
Natural persons with business turnover above AED 1 million fall under corporate tax too. We confirm whether that catches you.
