UAE Corporate Tax and VAT: Registered, Filed, and Represented Before the FTA
Every UAE business now lives with corporate tax, and most trading businesses live with VAT as well. Registration is mandatory once you are in scope.
Free zone status changes the calculation but does not remove the obligations. And the penalties for late registration or late filing are real.
I handle registration, returns and the FTA relationship: corporate tax returns from $750 a year, VAT returns from $200 a quarter.
Who this is for, and who it is not
This fits you if:
You run a UAE company, mainland or free zone, and want corporate tax and VAT done right and on time
You are a free zone entity and want a straight answer on what your status actually exempts, and what it does not
You have received FTA correspondence, a penalty, or an audit query and need representation
Probably not, if:
You have not set up in the UAE yet. Start at /services/dubai-company-setup.

Haseeb helped us understand the right structure before moving into a new market. His advice was clear, practical, and focused on the long-term impact of tax, banking, and compliance.
FAQ
Only if it meets the qualifying conditions, and staying qualified has ongoing requirements. Plenty of free zone companies assume 0% and find out otherwise at filing time. Get the position assessed, in writing.
Registration obligations apply broadly regardless of size. Thresholds affect the tax, not necessarily the registration. We confirm your exact position against current FTA rules.

If the FTA raises a query, a penalty or an audit, I deal with them on your behalf, formally. You are not drafting responses to a tax authority yourself.
