Corporate tax in Dubai
A sound tax process starts well before a return is prepared. Cressford helps businesses organise their financial information, identify the issues that need attention and prepare a documented position. We connect tax work with the underlying accounts so that calculations can be explained and supporting records can be located.
What your engagement can cover
Registration and compliance support
Tax computation and return preparation
Review of relevant adjustments
Free zone tax position assessment
Built around your circumstances.
New entities, established trading businesses and groups all need a tax process that reflects their circumstances. We scope the work around your legal structure, activities, transactions and financial reporting period, then identify where specialist review may be needed.
A useful starting point
Your exact information requirements will be confirmed during scoping. The following records can help frame the initial discussion.
- Trade licence and entity documents
- Financial statements and trial balance
- Related-party transaction information
- Existing registrations and correspondence
Questions, answered.
Is a free zone business automatically outside corporate tax?
A free zone licence alone should not be treated as a conclusion about tax treatment. Your activities, income, structure and applicable conditions need an individual assessment.
Can you work with our existing accountant?
Yes. We can provide a defined tax engagement using records prepared by your finance team or coordinate accounting and tax within a broader assignment.
