UAE Corporate Tax and VAT, handled by senior specialists

We run your VAT and Corporate Tax as one job: registration, filing, input-VAT recovery, and the reliefs you qualify for, all filed on EmaraTax against a ledger we keep. Late VAT registration is a flat AED 10,000 penalty, and input VAT often sits unclaimed with suppliers for months. We handle the deadlines and the detail, so your filings are on time, defensible, and no more than you legally owe.

What we do

Your VAT and Corporate Tax, end to end

VAT registration, filing and recovery

VAT Registration, Filing & Recovery

  • Threshold & Registration Strategy
  • EmaraTax Registration & Setup
  • Return Preparation & Filing
  • Input VAT Recovery

Registration timing decides how much cash you keep. We assess whether you cross the AED 375,000 mandatory threshold or should register voluntarily at AED 187,500, file your periodic returns on EmaraTax, and recover input VAT so it stops sitting with your suppliers. Register late and the penalty is a flat AED 10,000, so we start the clock on our schedule, not the FTA's.

VAT reviews, FTA assessments and penalties

VAT Reviews, FTA Assessments & Penalties

  • VAT Audit Readiness
  • Place-of-Supply & Treatment Review
  • FTA Assessment Response
  • Penalty Mitigation & Voluntary Disclosure

Most VAT problems are documentation problems, and they surface during an assessment. We build records that meet FTA standards before a review starts: place-of-supply positions, zero-rated and exempt treatment, and input-recovery support. When an assessment or penalty notice arrives, we prepare the response and know when a position is worth challenging.

Corporate Tax registration and filing

Corporate Tax Registration & Filing

  • EmaraTax Corporate Tax Registration
  • Taxable Income Computation
  • Return Preparation & Filing
  • Defensible Filing Positions

Corporate Tax is 0% on the first AED 375,000 of taxable income and 9% above it, but the work is in getting there correctly. We register you on EmaraTax (new businesses have three months from incorporation), prepare the return within nine months of your year-end, and document every position so it reads clearly if the FTA asks.

Corporate Tax relief and structuring

Corporate Tax Relief & Structuring

  • Small Business Relief Assessment
  • Tax Loss Carryforward
  • Group & Free-Zone (QFZP) Review
  • Transfer Pricing Basics

Paying the right amount means claiming what you qualify for. We assess Small Business Relief (0% while revenue stays under AED 3 million, available only for tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026), track and carry forward tax losses, and review group and free-zone (QFZP) structure where it applies. Each position ships with a written basis, not a guess.

One reconciled VAT and Corporate Tax function

One Reconciled Tax Function

  • VAT-to-Corporate-Tax Reconciliation
  • One Ledger, One Source of Truth
  • Revenue Entered Once
  • Single Audit Trail

When VAT and Corporate Tax are handled separately, the numbers drift, and an FTA reviewer finds the gap you did not know was there. We run both off the same ledger, so your VAT returns reconcile to your Corporate Tax filing, revenue is entered once, and there is a single evidence trail behind every figure.

Why Finline

Why UAE businesses run VAT and Corporate Tax with Finline

Expert-Led

Integrated Compliance = Fewer Errors & Audits

The senior advisor who reviews your position is the one accountable for the filing. Calls on relief, treatment and disclosure are made by someone who has handled FTA assessments first-hand, not a junior working through a checklist. If the FTA questions a number, the person who signed it off is the one who explains it.

Industry-Specific Tax Expertise

Industry-Specific Tax & Compliance Strategy

VAT recovery, place-of-supply rules and contract structures behave differently in real estate than in F&B or hospitality. We have run the finance function inside those sectors and in industrial catering, so your CT exposure and VAT treatment match how the business earns and spends.

Deadlines Met, Penalties Avoided

Penalty Avoidance = Cash Preservation

Late VAT registration costs AED 10,000, and late Corporate Tax registration costs a further AED 10,000. Automated deadline-tracking and tax-automation tools flag every VAT and CT obligation before it falls due, and your advisor confirms each return is filed accurately and on time. The tools track the dates; your advisor is accountable for what goes in.

Cash Recovered, Liability Minimised

Audit-Ready Built-In

Input VAT often sits unclaimed in supplier invoices and unreconciled accounts. We recover it, then apply the reliefs you qualify for, including Small Business Relief and loss carryforward. Your tax bill reflects the position you are entitled to under the law.

Audit-Ready & Deal-Ready

Strategic Positioning, Not Just Filing

Your VAT and CT filings reconcile to one set of books, with the working papers behind every figure. When the FTA opens an assessment or an investor runs diligence, the records are documented and consistent, so the review moves quickly and you spend the time answering questions rather than rebuilding files.

Not sure where your VAT and Corporate Tax stand?

Book a one-week VAT & Corporate Tax Health Check. We review your registrations, recent returns, recovery gaps, and Corporate Tax relief eligibility, then hand you a short written findings memo with your exposure and savings quantified. Fixed scope, five working days.
