Navigating the UAE’s New Dual Tax Landscape
For years, the UAE was a tax-free environment. Today, it is a sophisticated, transparent tax jurisdiction. The interaction between VAT (a tax on consumption) and Corporate Tax (a tax on profit) means that your financial data must be consistent, accurate, and audit-ready at all times. Crevaty UAE serves as your strategic tax partner, ensuring you optimize your tax position without crossing the line into non-compliance.
  1. UAE Corporate Tax (CT) Services

    2. The UAE Corporate Tax law is not a flat fee; it is a nuanced system with reliefs, exemptions, and strict "substance" requirements.

    1. Registration & Rate Analysis : We handle your registration on the EmaraTax portal, ensuring you are classified correctly.
      • 0% Rate: Applied to taxable income up to AED 375,000.
      • 9% Rate: Applied to taxable income exceeding AED 375,000.
      • Small Business Relief (SBR): If your revenue is below AED 3 Million, we help you elect for SBR to enjoy a 0% tax rate (valid until Dec 31, 2026).
    2. Free Zone Taxation (The "Qualifying" Criteria): Just because you are in a Free Zone does not mean you are tax-exempt. To benefit from 0% Corporate Tax, you must be a "Qualifying Free Zone Person" (QFZP). Crevaty conducts a "Substance Test" to ensure:
      • You have adequate staff and assets in the Zone.
      • You earn "Qualifying Income" (transactions with other Free Zone persons or specific activities).
      • You meet the De Minimis rule for non-qualifying revenue.
    3. Mandatory Audits & Financial Statements : The days of unaudited Excel sheets are over. Under Ministerial Decision No. 82, you must prepare audited financial statements if:
      • You are a Qualifying Free Zone Person (regardless of revenue).
      • Your revenue exceeds AED 50 Million. Crevaty’s audit team ensures your statements meet IFRS standards, keeping you safe from FTA scrutiny.
  2. Value Added Tax (VAT) Services

    3. The 5% tax that affects every transaction.
    VAT in the UAE is mature, and the FTA has become stricter with audits. We manage the full lifecycle of your VAT compliance.

    1. Registration & Deregistration
      • Mandatory Registration: If your taxable supplies/imports exceed AED 375,000 in the last 12 months.
      • Voluntary Registration: If they exceed AED 187,500. We monitor your turnover monthly to ensure you register exactly when required (within the 30-day window) to avoid the AED 10,000 late registration penalty.
    2. Designated Zones vs. Standard Free Zones
      • Standard Free Zones (e.g., DMCC, TECOM): Treated exactly like the Mainland for VAT. You must charge 5%.
      • Designated Zones (e.g., JAFZA, DAFZA): Treated as "outside the UAE" for Goods (often VAT-free between zones) but inside the UAE for Services (always 5%). Crevaty’s experts review your supply chain to apply the correct tax codes, preventing 5% losses on every invoice.
    3. The Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM)

      4. If you import services (e.g., software from the US, consultancy from the UK) or trade in gold/diamonds, you don't pay VAT at customs. Instead, you must account for it via the RCM on your tax return. We ensure these entries are recorded correctly to avoid under-declaration fines.

    4. VAT Refunds

      5. For exporters and businesses with high startup costs, the FTA owes you money. We prepare robust VAT Refund applications, ensuring all invoices are compliant so your cash is returned quickly without facing time gaps.

    Why an Integrated Approach Matters

    Your VAT return (Turnover) is the first thing the FTA will check against your Corporate Tax return (Revenue). If these numbers don't match, it triggers an automatic flag. At Crevaty, our internal teams talk to each other. We ensure your VAT filings for the year reconcile perfectly with your Corporate Tax submission, providing a shield of consistency around your business.
