FAQ

Common questions.

  • When is the corporate tax return filing deadline in the UAE?

    Corporate tax returns must be filed within 9 months of the end of your financial year. TaxBox tracks your specific deadline and files ahead of it, so you never risk a late penalty.

  • Do free zone companies need to file a corporate tax return?

    Yes. Free zone entities must file a return even when they qualify for the 0% Qualifying Free Zone Person rate. We make sure your free zone status is documented correctly so you keep the benefit.

  • If my profit is below AED 375,000, do I still file?

    Yes. The 0% rate applies below AED 375,000, but registration and filing are still required. We handle the filing so a 'nil' return is still done properly and on time.

  • What is the penalty for late corporate tax filing?

    The FTA imposes penalties for both late registration and late filing of corporate tax returns. TaxBox files ahead of your deadline so penalties never apply to you.

  • What documents do you need to file my corporate tax return?

    Typically your trade licence, financial statements or bookkeeping records for the period, and FTA registration details. We'll give you a simple checklist on your first call.

  • Can you file if my bookkeeping isn't up to date?

    Yes. We bring your books current first through our catch-up accounting service, then prepare and file an accurate return.
