Corporate Tax Health Check — Identify Risks, Fix Gaps, Stay Compliant
A targeted compliance review to assess your company’s UAE corporate tax and related indirect tax obligations, identify gaps, and recommend practical remediation steps to reduce exposure and improve reporting accuracy.
Overview
AL SAHRAA’s Corporate Tax Health Check provides a focused assessment of your corporate tax position, filing history and internal processes to identify compliance gaps specific to UAE rules and FTA expectations. We review core documents, accounting records and prior returns to find risks such as incorrect allocations, missed elections, or incomplete supporting documentation, then quantify potential exposures and filing impacts. Our team delivers a clear remediation plan with prioritized actions, sample journal entries or disclosures, and recommendations to strengthen ongoing compliance and record-keeping. We can support implementation, liaise with advisors or the FTA as needed, and help establish monitoring steps to reduce future risk in Dubai, Ajman and across the UAE.

Frequently asked questions
Who should get a Corporate Tax Health Check?
Any UAE company with corporate tax obligations or complex transactions, newly-registered entities, businesses with cross-border activities, or those that changed structure or ownership.
How long does a compliance review take?
Typical reviews run from 2 to 6 weeks depending on entity size, complexity and speed of document delivery; we agree timelines at scoping.
Will you file corrective returns or disclosures for us?
Yes — we can prepare and assist with corrective filings or disclosures. We do not file on your behalf without explicit instruction and authorization.
Can you quantify tax exposure and penalties?
We provide reasoned estimates of potential tax liabilities and related penalties based on our findings and UAE rules, noting final assessments depend on regulator determinations.
