Empowering your business with expert financial solutions

Most UAE businesses, including free zone entities, must register for corporate tax with the FTA even if they qualify for a 0% rate. Registration is separate from actually owing tax, and missing the deadline carries penalties regardless of income. We can confirm your status and handle the filing.

Mainland companies can trade freely across the UAE and internationally. Free zone companies offer 100% foreign ownership and tax benefits but face restrictions on direct mainland trade. Offshore companies are typically used for holding assets and cannot trade within the UAE. The right structure depends on how and where you plan to operate.

UAE free zone setup typically takes 3–5 working days; mainland setup, 1–2 weeks; and Saudi Arabia formation, 2–4 weeks, depending on business activity and jurisdiction. We work to move this along wherever possible.

Late VAT filings trigger automatic fines from the FTA, with penalties increasing the longer the return remains outstanding. If you've already missed a deadline, the priority is filing immediately to stop further penalties.

Costs vary depending on jurisdiction, business activity, office requirements, and visa allocations. Free zone setups can start in the lower tens of thousands of AED, while mainland setups often cost more. We provide a tailored cost breakdown during your free consultation rather than a generic figure.

Not automatically. Free zone companies can qualify for the 0% Qualifying Free Zone Person rate, but only if they meet specific conditions around income type, substance requirements, and reporting.
