From taxable income computation to relief elections, disclosures, and catch-up filings — one engagement covers your full annual filing obligation.
How Your Corporate Tax Return Gets Filed
A fixed three-step cycle, every financial year — no chasing, no surprises, no last-minute panic.
Financials Review & Tax Position
We review your financial statements for the year, confirm IFRS and audit requirements, and compute your taxable income with all adjustments and reliefs applied.
Prepare & Approve the Return
Your corporate tax return is prepared with a plain-language summary — what you owe, which reliefs apply, and why — and shared with you for approval before submission.
File on EmaraTax & Confirm
We submit through the EmaraTax portal, confirm acceptance, and send you the filing confirmation plus payment instructions well before the 9-month deadline.
Fixed Fee. Confirmed Before We Start.
Your filing fee is confirmed upfront after a free review of your books and structure — based on your transaction volume, free zone status, and whether your records need catch-up work. The fee is fixed before we start and never changes mid-engagement. With penalties accruing at AED 500 per month, professional filing typically costs less than the fines it prevents.
Why Corporate Tax Filing Goes Wrong — And How We Prevent It
UAE corporate tax filing is new enough that most businesses are still making first-cycle mistakes. The biggest one is treating accounting profit as taxable income — the return requires specific adjustments, and reliefs like small business relief (for revenue up to AED 3 million, available until the end of 2026) must be actively elected, not assumed. Businesses with related-party transactions must also complete transfer pricing disclosures, and free zone companies claiming 0% must support their qualifying income position with audited financial statements.
The second mistake is timing. Nine months sounds generous, but the return depends on finalised IFRS financial statements — and if your books need cleanup or an audit, the real preparation window is much shorter. Penalties start at AED 500 per month the moment the deadline passes, and they accrue automatically. The FY2024 cycle showed exactly this pattern: the businesses that got penalised were not the ones with complex affairs, but the ones who started late.
Sky Sigma removes the failure points. Your books are reconciled and your financial statements finalised early in the window, your taxable income computation is documented line by line, and every relief and disclosure is handled inside the return. If you are already late or filed incorrectly, we handle catch-up filings, amendments, and penalty waiver requests — the earlier you act, the less it costs.
