Common questions

About transfer pricing.

Not covered here? — we reply within one business day.

Do I need a Local File?

Only above the thresholds set by the Ministry of Finance. We check your group against them before quoting.

Do I need to register for corporate tax?

Almost every UAE company must, including free zone companies and those with no taxable income. New companies must register within three months of incorporation.

Is corporate tax included in your plans?

Registration and the annual return are included in every accounting plan.

Can you help if I have already received a penalty?

Yes. We review the penalty and tell you whether there are grounds for a reconsideration or waiver request before you pay for one.
