Master the UAE Corporate Tax Landscape.

The era of tax-free business is over. We structure your operations to align with Federal Decree-Law No. 47 while legally optimising your effective tax rate. Ensure full compliance without eroding your profit margins.

The Direct Tax Ecosystem

Integrating Domestic Compliance with International Standards

Direct taxation in the UAE now operates as an interconnected network of regulations rather than a single law. Compliance requires more than just filing a return; it demands the alignment of your Corporate Tax position with Transfer Pricing policies and international treaties. A discrepancy between your cross-border intercompany charges and your domestic taxable income triggers immediate regulatory red flags. G12 unifies these complex disciplines from Permanent Establishment risks to Withholding Tax obligations, ensuring your tax strategy is consistent, defensible, and efficient across all jurisdictions.

Comprehensive Direct Tax Architecture

Expert Guidance Across Eight Critical Tax Disciplines

We categorise our Direct Tax services into specialised streams to address every facet of your tax liability and regulatory obligation.

1. Corporate Tax Services

Compliance begins with accurate registration and concludes with timely filing. G12 manages the entire lifecycle of your Corporate Tax obligations. We assist in obtaining your Tax Registration Number (TRN), calculating taxable income adjustments, and filing returns within the nine-month statutory window. We ensure your financial statements align with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to satisfy FTA requirements.

2. Double Taxation Advisory

Cross-border trade should not result in paying tax twice on the same income. We analyse the UAE’s extensive network of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) to protect your global earnings. G12 advises on treaty eligibility, ensuring you utilise available provisions to reduce withholding rates and exempt foreign-sourced income where applicable.

3. Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) Advisory

If your business paid tax in another country, you may be able to use that amount to lower your UAE Corporate Tax. Our team works out your Foreign Tax Credit so you are not taxed twice. We collect proof of your tax payment abroad to help you get credit from the FTA.

4. Permanent Establishment (PE) Advisory

Foreign companies operating in the UAE must determine if their presence triggers a taxable status. We conduct distinct PE assessments to determine if your specific activities, such as a fixed place of business or dependent agents, create a Corporate Tax liability in the UAE. This prevents foreign entities from inadvertently accruing unrecorded tax debts.

5. Tax Residency Advisory

Accessing treaty benefits and establishing tax domicile requires official certification. G12 issues Tax Residency Certificates (TRCs) for eligible individuals and corporate entities. We verify that you meet the “number of days” or “place of management” criteria set by the Ministry of Finance to solidify your tax status.

6. Transfer Pricing Advisory

Transactions between related parties must be conducted at “Arm’s Length.” The FTA scrutinises intercompany dealings to prevent profit shifting. We draft your Transfer Pricing policies, benchmark your prices against market standards, and prepare the mandatory Master File and Local File documentation to defend your pricing structures during audits.

7. Withholding Tax (WHT) Advisory

While the UAE currently applies a 0% Withholding Tax rate on domestic payments to non-residents, the legal framework requires strict categorisation of payments. We advise on the compliance requirements for payments made to foreign service providers, ensuring you meet reporting obligations and are prepared for any future rate adjustments.

8. Digital Tax Solutions

Modern tax work needs up-to-date tools. G12 helps you add tax features to your software. We guide the setup of automated tax calculations and data collection, reducing errors and ensuring compliance with FTA record-keeping rules.

The Strategic Necessity of Direct Tax Compliance

Why Accurate Tax Planning Protects Your Valuation

Ignoring the nuances of Direct Tax creates liabilities that extend beyond immediate fines.

Audit Defence: The FTA has the authority to audit records for up to seven years. A robust compliance framework provides the documentation needed to defend your tax positions.
Cash Flow Optimisation: Correctly applying Small Business Relief or Free Zone exemptions significantly reduces cash outflows.
Global Credibility: Adhering to OECD standards and UAE tax laws validates your business structure for international investors and banking partners.
Risk Mitigation: Misclassification of expenses or revenue can lead to penalties ranging from fixed fines to percentage-based sanctions on unpaid tax.
