UAE tax regulations are evolving rapidly. Here are the most common questions our clients ask about VAT, Corporate Tax, and FTA compliance — answered straight by our specialist tax advisory team.
If your taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 annually, VAT registration with the FTA is mandatory. If they exceed AED 187,500, voluntary registration is available and often advisable. Once registered, you are required to charge 5% VAT on applicable supplies, file regular VAT returns — quarterly or monthly depending on your turnover — and maintain compliant financial records. Finvest manages the entire process on your behalf, from registration through to every filing deadline.
The UAE Corporate Tax rate is 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. Income below this threshold is taxed at 0%. Qualifying Free Zone businesses may retain a 0% rate on qualifying income, provided they meet FTA substance requirements, maintain audited financials, and comply with transfer pricing rules. Finvest assesses your exact position and structures your business to ensure you benefit from every available relief and exemption under the law.
Missing VAT filing deadlines or underpaying tax results in FTA administrative penalties. However, the FTA does provide a voluntary disclosure mechanism — proactively correcting errors before an FTA audit typically results in significantly reduced penalties compared to being caught during a formal review. At Finvest, we regularly assist clients in preparing and submitting voluntary disclosures, negotiating penalty reconsideration requests, and bringing their FTA portal fully up to date.
Yes — without exception. All UAE businesses including Free Zone companies must register with the FTA for Corporate Tax, even if they qualify for the 0% rate. From 2025 onward, Qualifying Free Zone Persons must also submit audited financial statements as part of their Corporate Tax filing. Failure to register, file on time, or maintain adequate substance can result in losing the 0% qualification for up to five years. Finvest handles registration, filing, and full ongoing compliance for Free Zone clients.
Yes — and this is exactly where our integrated model delivers the greatest value. Rather than managing two separate advisors for VAT and Corporate Tax, Finvest provides a single, unified tax compliance service covering both obligations. Our team monitors all FTA deadlines, prepares and submits every return, manages your FTA portal, and keeps you informed of any regulatory changes that affect your business. One team, one engagement, complete peace of mind.
