Corporate Tax Return Filing Services in UAE

Delivered by Omnex

Filing Corporate Tax returns is a legal obligation for businesses operating in the UAE. Under the UAE Corporate Tax Law enforced by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), all taxable persons are required to file returns within the prescribed timelines. At Omnex, we simplify this compliance process through expert-led Corporate Tax filing services tailored to your business type and structure.

The UAE Ministry of Finance introduced the Corporate Tax regime in January 2022, with implementation taking effect from June 1, 2023, or January 1, 2024, depending on the financial year. With a standard corporate tax rate of 9% and a 0% rate on taxable profits up to AED 375,000, the regime is designed to support small businesses and encourage global best practices.

What is Corporate Tax Return Filing in UAE?

Corporate Tax Return Filing is the formal submission of your business’s income, expenses, and taxable profit details to the FTA for a defined tax period. This filing declares your corporate tax liability and ensures compliance with UAE tax law. If additional documentation is requested by the FTA, businesses must provide supporting evidence within the specified time.

At Omnex, we assist businesses with the preparation and submission of corporate tax returns, ensuring accuracy and full compliance with evolving UAE regulations.

Is Corporate Tax Filing Mandatory in UAE?

Yes. All taxable entities—whether local or foreign—operating in the UAE are required to file Corporate Tax returns. Even businesses that fall under the AED 375,000 exemption threshold must file returns to remain compliant.

This includes:

• Companies with no income
• Entities operating in Free Zones, whether they qualify for Free Zone incentives or not

• Exempt persons, if requested by the FTA

The FTA’s Corporate Tax regime is based on self-assessment, and every registered entity must ensure its return is timely, complete, and accurate.

How Often Should Corporate Tax Returns Be Filed?

Corporate Tax returns in the UAE are to be filed once per tax period, with no requirement for interim or advance filings. Businesses have up to 9 months from the end of the relevant financial year to file their tax return and pay any tax due.

For example:

• A company with a tax period starting on June 1, 2023, must file by February 28, 2025.

• A company with a tax period starting on January 1, 2024, must file by September 30, 2025.

How to File a Corporate Tax Return in the UAE?

Corporate Tax Returns are submitted online through the EmaraTax portal, the official digital platform of the FTA. Pre-registration is currently open for selected businesses. If your business qualifies, Omnex can assist you in registering and filing through EmaraTax seamlessly.

EmaraTax integrates with UAE PASS and the UAE Central Bank, offering a streamlined tax administration experience.
