Frequently Asked Questions
Does every UAE company need to register for Corporate Tax?+
UAE companies and other juridical persons subject to Corporate Tax are required to register with the Federal Tax Authority and obtain a Corporate Tax Registration Number, including Mainland and Free Zone companies.
When does a business need to register for VAT?+
VAT registration is generally mandatory when taxable supplies and imports exceed the applicable mandatory registration threshold. Voluntary registration may also be available where the relevant conditions are met.
Does registering for Corporate Tax mean I will have tax to pay?+
Not necessarily. Registration and filing obligations can apply even where no Corporate Tax is ultimately payable. The tax liability depends on the business's taxable income and the applicable Corporate Tax treatment.
Does a Free Zone company automatically qualify for 0% Corporate Tax?+
No. Simply being established in a Free Zone does not automatically provide a 0% Corporate Tax rate. A business must meet the applicable conditions to be treated as a Qualifying Free Zone Person, and the nature of its income and activities must also be considered.
Can SUM+IT assess whether my Free Zone company may qualify for 0% Corporate Tax?+
Yes. We can review your business activities, transactions, income streams, customers, jurisdiction, and other relevant factors to assess your position against the Qualifying Free Zone Person requirements.
What happens if I discover an error in a previous VAT or Corporate Tax filing?+
The appropriate action depends on the nature and significance of the error. We can review the issue and advise on the appropriate correction or voluntary disclosure process where required.
Can you communicate with the FTA on our behalf?+
We can assist with FTA correspondence, clarification requests, tax assessments, supporting documentation, and other tax compliance matters, subject to the relevant authorisations and procedures.
Can SUM+IT handle both our accounting and tax compliance?+
Yes. Having accounting and tax support together can help ensure that the figures used for VAT and Corporate Tax filings are supported by properly maintained and reconciled financial records.
What is a Tax Residency Certificate, and can you assist with obtaining one?+
A Tax Residency Certificate may be required to demonstrate UAE tax residency for certain domestic or international purposes. We can assess the applicable requirements and assist with the application and supporting documentation.
How can my business prepare for UAE E-Invoicing?+
Preparation can include reviewing your accounting and invoicing systems, invoice data, customer and supplier information, internal workflows, and technology readiness. SUM+IT can conduct an e-invoicing readiness review and support your business through the transition as the applicable UAE requirements are implemented.
