Key Features of Our Corporate Tax Assessment Services

1. Tax Residency and Classification Review

We begin by thoroughly evaluating your company’s tax residency status and classification. This crucial step ensures your business meets the UAE corporate tax laws requirements, especially when dealing with cross-border transactions and foreign tax obligations. Understanding your tax residency helps avoid penalties and ensures that you take advantage of any tax treaties in place.

2. Financial Statement Analysis

Our team meticulously reviews your financial statements to assess taxable income. We ensure that all income streams are accurately categorized, allowable deductions are applied, and profits are correctly represented, preventing any discrepancies in tax filings and reducing the risk of costly mistakes.

3. Free Zone and Qualifying Income Assessment

Navigating the UAE Free Zone tax structure can be complex. We assess the impact of your Free Zone operations, help determine your eligibility for Qualifying Free Zone Person status, and advise you on the correct tax treatment for both qualifying and non-qualifying income to maximize your tax benefits.

4. Transfer Pricing and Related Party Review

We ensure that your related party transactions align with the UAE’s transfer pricing guidelines. Our experts analyze these transactions for compliance, preparing the necessary documentation for audits and regulatory reviews, ensuring you meet all legal obligations.

5. Tax-Deductible Expense Assessment

We evaluate your business expenses to confirm they meet the “wholly and exclusively” criterion for tax deductibility. This includes identifying any non-compliant items (e.g., private expenses, fines, or excessive entertainment costs) and providing recommendations for tax-compliant expense management.

6. Evaluation of Transitional Rules

We offer guidance on applying transitional rules to ensure your business is compliant when transitioning under the new corporate tax regime. This includes:

Qualifying Immovable Property: Advising on elections to exclude gains from property owned before the first tax period.
Qualifying Intangible Assets: Assisting with elections on intangible assets like goodwill, patents, and trademarks.
Qualifying Financial Assets and Liabilities: Helping you account for gains and losses on financial instruments efficiently.

7. Tax Relief Opportunities

Our experts identify potential tax relief opportunities specific to your business. These include:

Small Business Relief: Navigating turnover thresholds and compliance requirements for small businesses.
Intra-Group Transactions: Facilitating seamless transactions within your corporate group to reduce tax exposure.
Restructuring Relief: Providing strategic advice on tax-efficient reorganizations that allow your business to achieve its goals while ensuring tax compliance.
