Corporate Tax Health Check & Compliance Review — AL SAHRAA

Intro

A Corporate Tax Health Check from AL SAHRAA Businessmen Services LLC is a targeted compliance review to assess your company’s UAE corporate tax and related indirect tax (VAT) obligations, identify gaps, and recommend practical remediation steps. Our review helps reduce exposure, improve reporting accuracy, and prepare your business for audits or FTA/Ministry inquiries.

Key points

Scope: UAE corporate income tax (post-implementation rules), relevant free zone considerations, taxable presence/nexus, taxable income computation, exemptions, loss utilisation, and related indirect tax (VAT) risks.

Deliverables: written findings, a prioritised risk register, a tax gap analysis, recommended remediation actions, a compliance calendar, and templates for corrected disclosures or voluntary disclosure support where applicable.

Methodology: document review (tax returns, financial statements, transfer pricing policies, contracts), interviews with finance and operations, sample transaction testing, and benchmarking against UAE guidance and FTA practice notes.

Practical focus: steps you can implement quickly (accounting reclassification, supporting documentation, adjusted filings) and medium-term governance improvements (policies, internal controls, staff training).

Confidentiality and professional standards: work is carried out under strict confidentiality, with clear engagement terms and professional conduct.

Frequently asked questions

What is a corporate tax health check?

A concise, systematic review of your corporate tax and related indirect tax positions to identify compliance gaps, quantify potential exposure, and propose remediation steps tailored to UAE rules.

Why do I need one now?

UAE tax regimes and FTA expectations continue to evolve. A health check reduces the risk of incorrect reporting, penalties, or missed opportunities (e.g., legitimate exemptions or free zone relief) and supports confident filings.

What areas are covered?

Corporate tax computation and filings, residency and nexus, intercompany transactions, transfer pricing documentation, VAT treatment of key transactions, and record-keeping practices.

How long does a review take?

Typical engagements run from a few days for a focused check to several weeks for larger entities. Timing depends on company size, transaction complexity, and document availability.

What information do you need from us?

Basic corporate documents, financial statements, tax returns, VAT returns, major contracts, accounting ledgers, and any existing tax opinions or correspondence with authorities.

Will AL SAHRAA represent us to the FTA or tax authorities?

We provide support for preparing disclosures and can assist with correspondence strategies. Representation or formal submissions will be agreed in the engagement scope; outcomes depend on the authorities’ decisions.
