What is Corporate Tax return filing?


How to file a Corporate Tax return?
You will only need to file for a Corporate Tax return once per tax period. You have nine months after the end of the tax period to submit your return and to pay your tax owed to FTA.
You can file your return through the EmaraTax portal. Still unsure? Here’s our quick overview of the procedure:
- Obtain a tax registration number from the FTA
- Ensure you are keeping a record of all financial transactions and related documents set out by UAE tax laws
- Once you have calculated your taxable income, work out your tax return (don’t forget any tax deductions or exemptions!)
- Submit your tax return
- Pay the amount of tax owed (the same amount that you filed on the tax return)
- Be ready in case of a tax audit

Other requirements
There are also many documents that you must include in your tax return, such as:
- Financial records
- Your taxable income calculation
- Records of any transfer pricing
- Devaluation of tax plans and records
