UAE regulations are strict, and the penalties for non-compliance are steep. Finanshels covers all three major compliance obligations — end to end.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about tax consultancy in the UAE.

Do I need to register for both VAT and Corporate Tax?

These are separate obligations. VAT registration is triggered by taxable turnover above AED 375,000. Corporate Tax registration is mandatory for virtually all UAE businesses regardless of profitability — you must register even if you expect to pay zero tax. Many businesses need both.

When is my Corporate Tax return due?

CT returns must be filed within 9 months of the end of your tax period. For businesses with a December year-end, the first return (for the period ending Dec 2024) is due by 30 September 2025. Deadlines vary by financial year — use our Corporate Tax Deadline Checker tool to confirm yours.

Is my business classified as a DNFBP and subject to AML?

Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) include real estate agents, lawyers, accountants, dealers in precious metals and gems, and company service providers. If your business falls in these categories, AML compliance is a legal obligation under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2018.

How long does it take to get VAT registered?

Finanshels completes VAT registration in as few as 15 working days, provided all required documents are submitted. The FTA may take additional time to process; we track and chase the application on your behalf throughout.

What are the penalties for missing the VAT filing deadline?

Late VAT filing triggers an immediate 2% penalty on unpaid tax, rising to 4% after 7 days, and further escalating to 1% per day after one month (capped at 300%). There is also a fixed late filing penalty of AED 1,000 for a first offence, AED 2,000 for repeat offences within 24 months.

Do freezone companies need to register for Corporate Tax?

Yes. All freezone entities must register for UAE Corporate Tax. However, Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) that meet specific criteria — including substance requirements, income tests, and non-deregistered status — may benefit from the 0% tax rate on qualifying income. Finanshels can assess and maintain your QFZP status.

What is GoAML and who needs to register?

GoAML is the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit's (FIU) reporting system for Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). All obligated businesses — including all DNFBPs — must register on GoAML and submit reports when suspicious activity is identified. Finanshels manages the entire process.
