FTA, VAT & Corporate Tax Services
Corporate tax registration, VAT filing, and ongoing compliance so you stay on the right side of FTA requirements.
Get a free quoteUAE corporate tax and VAT are no longer optional paperwork — the FTA tracks registration, filing, and payment deadlines, and the penalties for missing them are automatic. Most small businesses don't need a full-time accountant; they need someone who knows exactly what the FTA requires and files it correctly, on time, every time.
That's what we do. Corporate tax registration, VAT registration and quarterly filing, FTA notices, deregistration when a business closes — handled by people who deal with the FTA portal every week, not once a year.

Notices, clarifications and audit-readiness support.
Coordination with your accountant or ours to keep filings clean.

What the FTA Actually Requires
UAE tax compliance became a real operational burden for small businesses when corporate tax joined VAT. These aren't one-time registrations you can forget about. The Federal Tax Authority tracks filing deadlines, payment deadlines, and registration thresholds, and the penalties for missing them are automatic, applied by the system rather than negotiated case by case.
VAT registration becomes mandatory once your taxable turnover crosses AED 375,000 in a twelve-month period, with voluntary registration available from AED 187,500. Once registered, you file returns on the FTA's schedule, usually quarterly, and each return has to reconcile your input and output VAT correctly. Corporate tax registration applies far more broadly, and even businesses with no tax payable often still need to register and file.
The mistakes that cost money are usually procedural, not strategic: registering late, missing a filing window, or filing a return that doesn't reconcile and triggers an FTA query. We handle the registrations, file the returns on schedule, and respond to FTA notices, so the compliance runs in the background instead of becoming a quarterly scramble. For businesses closing down, we also handle deregistration, which has its own requirements and penalties if skipped.
Common questions
Do all UAE businesses need to register for corporate tax?
Most UAE businesses are required to register for corporate tax with the FTA, regardless of profit level. Requirements vary by business type and revenue. We can confirm what applies to you.
What happens if I don't register for VAT on time?
Late registration triggers FTA penalties. If your turnover is approaching the threshold, register in advance rather than after the fact.
Do free zone companies pay corporate tax?
Many qualifying free zone entities benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income, but non-qualifying income and mainland-sourced revenue may still be taxable. We'll assess your specific structure.
