Corporate Tax Consultant in Dubai

Since the UAE introduced corporate tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, Dubai businesses have had to adjust to a compliance landscape that didn't exist a few years ago. With a standard 9% rate applying to taxable income above AED 375,000, and detailed rules around free zone qualifying income, transfer pricing, and tax grouping, getting corporate tax right in Dubai now takes more than a basic understanding of the law.

ASC Global works as a dedicated corporate tax consultant for Dubai businesses, helping mainland companies, free zone entities, and groups with multiple UAE subsidiaries stay compliant without corporate tax becoming a constant distraction from running the business.

Why Dubai businesses need proper corporate tax support

  • The Federal Tax Authority is actively reviewing registrations, filings, and free zone qualifying status
  • Penalties for late registration, late filing, or incorrect returns are specific and enforced
  • Free zone companies must actively demonstrate Qualifying Free Zone Person status to retain the 0% rate on qualifying income
  • Group structures require careful handling of tax grouping and transfer pricing documentation

Our corporate tax services in Dubai include

  • Corporate tax registration with the Federal Tax Authority
  • Corporate tax return preparation and filing
  • Free zone qualifying income assessment and Qualifying Free Zone Person compliance
  • Transfer pricing documentation and related party disclosures
  • Corporate tax grouping advisory for multi-entity structures
  • Corporate tax health checks and exposure reviews
  • Ongoing corporate tax advisory and compliance calendar management

Who this is for: mainland trading and service companies, free zone entities across Dubai's various zones, holding companies, and groups with multiple UAE-registered subsidiaries.

Given Dubai's density of business activity, our team has handled corporate tax registration and filing across nearly every sector, from trading and real estate to professional services and hospitality. We build a compliance calendar specific to your financial year, so registration deadlines, provisional obligations, and filing dates never catch you off guard.

As your corporate tax consultant in Dubai, we also review your existing structure for exposure, particularly around related party transactions and free zone income classification, two areas where the FTA has shown consistent scrutiny since the regime took effect.

If you're setting up corporate tax compliance for the first time or reviewing an existing filing for accuracy, ASC Global's Dubai team can walk you through exactly where you stand.

Our corporate tax compliance process for Dubai businesses

  1. Initial Review — We assess your current registration status, entity structure, and taxable income position.
  2. Classification & Structuring — We confirm your free zone qualifying status or mainland tax position, and flag any structuring considerations.
  3. Registration & Documentation — We handle Federal Tax Authority registration and set up the recordkeeping your business needs going forward.
  4. Return Preparation & Filing — We prepare and file your corporate tax return, backed by supporting documentation for every figure reported.
  5. Ongoing Compliance — We track your compliance calendar and advise on any changes as your business or UAE tax law evolves.

Beyond the numbers, what most Dubai businesses actually need is confidence that their corporate tax position won't unravel under review, whether that review comes from the Federal Tax Authority, a bank, or a potential investor. We build filings that are defensible from the start, with the underlying reasoning documented, not just the final figures submitted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All UAE mainland and free zone businesses must register for corporate tax, even if their taxable income falls below the AED 375,000 threshold or if they qualify for a 0% rate.

Free zone companies can benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions. Non-qualifying income is taxed at the standard 9% rate.

The Federal Tax Authority applies a fixed administrative penalty for late registration, in addition to potential penalties for late filing once returns are due.

Even businesses below the taxable income threshold must register and file correctly. A consultant helps avoid registration errors and ensures exemptions are properly documented.

We handle registration, return filing, free zone qualifying income assessment, transfer pricing documentation, and ongoing advisory for Dubai-based businesses of any size.

Businesses must maintain financial records supporting their taxable income calculation, including invoices, contracts, and transaction documentation, for a minimum of seven years from the end of the relevant tax period.
