Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible to form a corporate tax group in the UAE?
Entities with common ownership and meeting the threshold and consolidation conditions set by UAE corporate tax regulations can form a tax group. We assess control, ownership percentages and commercial relationships to confirm eligibility.
How long does the group registration process usually take?
Timing depends on document readiness and any clarifications requested by the Federal Tax Authority; typical cases take several weeks from complete submission to confirmation. We help keep timelines as short as possible by preparing thorough applications.
Can entities in different emirates register as one tax group?
Yes. Entities across different emirates, including Dubai and Ajman, can form a single tax group if they meet the statutory control and ownership requirements under UAE law.
What are the main documents needed to support a group application?
Key documents include trade licenses, ownership structure charts, intercompany agreements or shareholder agreements, board resolutions approving the grouping, and financial statements for each entity.
Will registering as a tax group change how we file corporate tax returns?
Group registration centralizes certain aspects of reporting, but each group's obligations and filing mechanics depend on the approved group scope. We advise on return preparation and how group membership affects reporting.
