We Are A

UAE Corporate Tax Services

UAE Corporate Tax applies to businesses and business activities in the UAE, including free zone entities. Taxable persons must register with the Federal Tax Authority, maintain adequate records and file an annual Corporate Tax return. Baynex supports UAE businesses with registration, impact assessment, computation and return preparation.

Services

Free zone entities

A common and expensive assumption is that a free zone licence means no Corporate Tax. It does not. Free zone persons remain within the Corporate Tax regime; a 0% rate may apply to qualifying income where the entity meets the conditions for a Qualifying Free Zone Person, which include substance requirements, the nature of the income, and de minimis limits on non-qualifying revenue.
Entities that assume the relief applies without testing it, or that breach the de minimis threshold without noticing, find the position at filing. We test it in advance.

Approach

We advise on the treatment that the law and your facts support, and on reliefs and structuring options available under the legislation. We do not promise a tax outcome. Positions taken have to be defensible on review, and a position that reduces the current-year charge but cannot be supported is not a saving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Browse our FAQs to quickly find clear and helpful answers to common inquiries.
Registration obligations apply broadly to taxable persons including free zone entities. Registration is separate from whether a 0% rate applies to your income. We confirm your obligation and handle registration.
Filing deadlines are set by reference to the end of the tax period under the Corporate Tax Law. We confirm your specific deadline based on your financial year and place it in your compliance calendar.
VAT is a transaction tax on supplies, collected from customers and filed periodically. Corporate Tax is charged on taxable profit and filed annually. They use the same underlying records but are computed differently and have separate registration and filing obligations.
We identify reliefs, exemptions and structuring options available under the Corporate Tax Law and apply the treatment your facts support. We do not promise a specific reduction, and we do not recommend positions that cannot be defended on review.
Adequate accounting records and supporting documentation sufficient to determine taxable income, retained for the period specified in the legislation. In practice this means a properly maintained ledger rather than a summary spreadsheet.
Register as soon as the obligation is identified. Late registration carries administrative penalties, and delay does not reduce them. We assess your position and complete registration.
