Corporate Tax brings new questions for business owners: Do I need to register? Which period should I file for? Are my accounts ready?

Al Kashif Tax Consultants helps you work through those questions, prepare your return and plan ahead. From registration and filing to audit support, tax planning and ongoing advice, we explain what your business needs to do in clear, practical terms.

Our Corporate Tax services

Support through each stage of the tax cycle

Whether you need help with one task or ongoing support, we review your circumstances and agree the work your business needs.

01 / GET REGISTERED

Registration & deregistration

We assess your registration requirements, help organise the application and supporting documents, and assist with EmaraTax submissions. If you are closing or restructuring, we review deregistration requirements and any outstanding filing steps.

02 / PREPARE & FILE

Tax periods & filing support

We confirm the period your return covers, build a filing calendar, review the figures and help prepare and submit your Corporate Tax return. You receive a clear summary of the calculation, the filing and the next actions.

03 / CHECK YOUR OPTIONS

Small Business Relief assessment

We check whether your business and tax period meet the applicable conditions, review the revenue records and explain how an eligible election affects your return. Small Business Relief requires an assessment; it is not automatic.

04 / UNDERSTAND THE FIGURES

Taxable income & adjustments

Your accounting profit is the starting point, but it may differ from taxable income. We review income, business expenses, available reliefs and relevant adjustments, and prepare a calculation supported by your records.

05 / GET YOUR RECORDS READY

Financial statements & bookkeeping

We identify gaps in your books, check balances against supporting documents and help prepare financial statements for the tax work. If your records need attention, we agree a practical plan to bring them up to date.

06 / REVIEW YOUR STRUCTURE

Tax groups & related parties

We assess whether a tax group could suit your companies and review transactions with owners, group companies and other related parties. We explain the pricing, documentation and disclosure points that need attention.

07 / HANDLE FTA MATTERS

Notices, penalties & disclosures

If you receive an FTA notice, discover an error or face a penalty, we review the documents and relevant timelines. We explain the available next steps and help prepare responses, corrections or voluntary disclosures where appropriate.

08 / PREPARE FOR REVIEW

Corporate Tax audit support

We help organise the records, reconcile the tax calculation and prepare explanations for an FTA audit or information request. Our support focuses on clear evidence, coordinated responses and addressing questions raised.

09 / PLAN AHEAD

Planning, advisory & ongoing support

We discuss the tax impact of business decisions, changes in ownership or structure, and day-to-day transactions. With ongoing support, you have a point of contact to review questions and prepare for the next filing period.

How we work

From a first conversation to a practical plan

01 / Understand

Tell us about your business

We discuss your activities, ownership, registration status, financial year and the issue you want to resolve.

02 / Review

Check the records and requirements

We identify the documents needed, any gaps, and the filing or response dates relevant to your case.

03 / Act

Agree the work and next steps

We explain the scope, prepare the work and keep you informed about what has been done and what comes next.

What should you have ready?

To start, have your trade licence, ownership details, Corporate Tax registration status, financial year dates and available accounts ready. If your enquiry concerns an FTA notice, include the notice and its response date. We will explain any further documents needed for your specific work.

Common questions

Corporate Tax FAQs for business owners

Does my VAT registration also cover Corporate Tax?

No. VAT and Corporate Tax have separate registration and filing requirements. We check your Corporate Tax position even if you are already registered for VAT.

Can I use Small Business Relief and skip registration or filing?

Small Business Relief does not remove applicable Corporate Tax registration, return filing or record-keeping obligations. We check eligibility for the relevant tax period and help with the election in your return where available.

How do I know which tax period to file for?

We review your financial year, business start date and registration details to confirm the period covered and the relevant deadlines. This is especially useful for a first return or a change in financial year.

Is the profit in my accounts the same as taxable income?

Not always. Your accounting profit or loss is the starting point. Tax rules may require adjustments to income and expenses before the final taxable income is calculated.

Can you help if my bookkeeping is behind?

Yes. We review what records are available, identify missing information and agree the bookkeeping and financial statement work needed before preparing the tax calculation.

Can companies under the same owner file as a tax group?

Common ownership alone does not automatically create a tax group. We assess the conditions, the companies involved and the application requirements before recommending a suitable approach. Related-party transactions also need a separate review.

What if I receive an FTA notice, a penalty or find an error?

Contact us promptly with the notice or details of the error and the relevant records. We review the timelines, explain the response or correction options, and help prepare the supporting work. Any decision on a penalty or application rests with the FTA.

Do I need to deregister when I close my business?

Closing or changing your business may require a Corporate Tax deregistration review. We help check the conditions, outstanding returns and supporting documents so the closure is handled properly.

Do you provide advice for international operations?

Yes. For cross-border tax questions, visit our International Taxation & Fractional CFO services page, or discuss your requirements with our team.

For official background on tax calculations, reliefs and tax groups, see the FTA Corporate Tax General Guide. We assess your case against the rules applicable to your business and tax period.
