Overview
Corporate Tax return filing in the UAE explained
Corporate Tax return filing in the UAE requires submitting a completed return through the FTA EmaraTax portal within nine months of the entity financial year end — reporting taxable income, applicable exemptions, Small Business Relief elections, and Qualifying Free Zone Person claims.
The return must reconcile with audited or management financial statements, VAT returns filed during the period, and transfer pricing documentation for related-party transactions above FTA thresholds.
KPM Global Services manages the full CT return filing process — from financial data extraction through FTA submission and payment confirmation — reducing penalty risk from late or incorrect filings.
