Built for the UAE compliance environment
Taxation in the UAE is still evolving. The FTA regularly issues new ministerial decisions, public clarifications, and guidance updates that affect how businesses calculate and report their tax. Staying on top of all of this while running a business is not practical and missing a change can have real consequences.
At nAlyze, we stay current with every development from the FTA and apply it to your tax position without you having to ask. Whether you are a mainland company, a freezone entity, or part of a larger group structure, your compliance is managed with the most up-to-date interpretation of the law.

Frequently Asked Questions
When did UAE Corporate Tax come into effect?
Tax came into effect for financial years beginning on or after 1 June 2023. For businesses with a calendar year-end, the first taxable period was 1 January 2024.
Does my business need to register even if it is not profitable?
Yes. All UAE-incorporated businesses – including freezone companies and those making a loss – are required to register with the FTA for corporate tax purposes.
How is taxable income calculated?
Are freezone companies exempt from corporate tax?
What records does my business need to maintain?
What are the penalties for late registration or filing?
The FTA issues administrative penalties for late registration, late filing, and inaccurate returns. Penalties vary depending on the nature of the error or delay – which is why staying on schedule matters. We manage all deadlines on your behalf.
What is the deadline for corporate tax registration?
Registration deadlines are determined by your trade licence issuance date, so they differ between businesses. Late registration carries an administrative penalty. We confirm your specific deadline against your licence details.
When is the corporate tax return filing deadline?
The corporate tax return is due within nine months of the end of your financial year. For a 31 December year-end, that means 30 September of the following year.
Do I need corporate tax consultants, or can I file myself?
Filing is possible in-house where the position is simple. Consultants are worth engaging where free zone qualifying status, group structures, related-party transactions, or significant adjustments are involved — the areas where errors are most costly.
What is the UAE corporate tax rate for small businesses
Small business relief may allow a 0% effective position below a revenue threshold, subject to conditions and election requirements. Eligibility must be assessed each period rather than assumed.
