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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
