Keep accurate accounting records. - The UAE corporate tax law states that you keep accurate accounting records. - Your tax obligations depends on what your accounting records say about your business. - Our team of experts will help you with your bookkeeping and accounting to ensure that your reports are compliant with the law. File a corporate tax submission with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). - This step needs to be done after the end of the first taxable period. - Even if you qualify for an exemption you still have to submit with the FTA. - Again our experts will ensure that you benefit from any applicable exemptions. 4 TAX The ministry of finance (MOF) developed the taxation policy with three tiers as follows: TIER 1 0% Tax Rate PROFITS UP TO AED 375, 000 TIER 2 PROFITS OVER 9% Tax Rate AED 375, 000 TIER 3 PROFITS OVER Higher Tax Rate AED 3.5 Billion 5 FREE ZONE A business registered in a free zone is not automatically exempt from the corporate tax. Here is what you need to know if your business is registered in a free zone. If a free zone complies with its regulations, including those specified in the corporate tax legislation, they may qualify for an exemption. If a free zone does not comply with free zone conditions included in the tax legislation they may lose their exemption. If a business loses their free zone exemption, they may still qualify for other options available such as the small businesses relief rule. NOTE: Even free zone businesses qualifying for an exemption still need to register for corporate tax, keep accurate accounting records, and file an annual tax submission with FTA 7 BUSINESS RELIEF RULE DO YOU QUALIFY?
