Corporate Tax software for the UAE

What we model and what we do not

We help you see revenue, expenses and taxable-income sketches from the same books you use for VAT. We do not replace EmaraTax elections, QFZP documentation packs, or transfer-pricing files.

Small Business Relief under MD 73/2023 uses an AED 3,000,000 revenue ceiling for periods ending on or before 2026-12-31. We do not claim a later extension without an official MoF or FTA source.

Qualifying Free Zone Person status is a legal analysis. Our calculator explains it; it does not certify it.

Owner drawings, personal cards mixed into company spends, and undocumented cash need cleaning before CT season. EmiraBooks makes those lines visible early so you are not renaming payments in week nine.

Return timing

FTA guidance: submit the Tax Return and settle payable CT within 9 months after the tax period ends.

Late return penalties under CD 75/2023 step from AED 500 per month (first 12) to AED 1,000 thereafter. See the FTA penalty calculator for a rough estimate.

Nine months feels long until the bank feed is six months behind. Keep imports current every week. CT prep is mostly the absence of backlog.

Payment timing follows the same window as the return under the guidance we cite. Confirm your EmaraTax due date for the specific period rather than relying on a blog memory.

How founders use EmiraBooks for CT season

Keep Wio/ENBD imports current all year. Tag owner drawings vs expenses. Export a clean period pack for your advisor or for your own EmaraTax session.

One month free on every plan. AED pricing on /preise.

Map chart categories in plain language you understand. If only your accountant knows what an account means, filing week becomes a translation job. Founder-readable books close faster.

When revenue sits near the SBR ceiling, track it monthly. Crossing AED 3,000,000 of revenue in a relevant period is a planning event, not something to notice after year end.

Pair with tools

Use /tools/corporate-tax-calculator for a mainland estimate and SBR sketch. Use /uae-tax-deadlines for the calendar.

Read the calculator notes. They state what is modelled and what is excluded. QFZP certification is excluded on purpose.

Deadline articles link back to MoF and FTA sources. Prefer those sources when a social post disagrees with the official text.

VAT tools still matter. Clean VAT books are usually clean CT books. Broken VAT coding often hides expense problems that reappear in taxable income.

Small Business Relief without wishful dating

MD 73/2023 sets the AED 3,000,000 ceiling for periods ending on or before 2026-12-31. That end date is part of the rule we publish.

We do not invent an extension. If MoF or FTA publishes a change, we update TAX_FACTS and then the copy. Until then, plan as if the published window stands.

QFZP persons cannot elect SBR under MD 73/2023. Free zone operators sometimes mix those labels. Keep QFZP analysis separate from SBR eligibility.

Relief is an election with conditions, not a mood. Confirm residency, revenue definitions, and exclusions against the decision text before you model a zero CT outcome in a board deck.

Free zone income versus standard regime sketches

Qualifying income for a Qualifying Free Zone Person can sit at 0% when MoF and FTA conditions are met. Non-qualifying income follows standard rules, including the ${TAX_FACTS.ctRatePercent}% rate above the zero band where that regime applies.

EmiraBooks will not stamp QFZP on your company. It will keep revenue and cost trails so an advisor can test the analysis against contracts and substance facts.

Mainland entities usually live entirely in the standard overview we cite. That does not make the books easier if bank lines are a mess. Import discipline still decides how painful the return feels.

Transfer pricing and related-party documentation sit outside day-to-day bookkeeping software. Keep those packs with your advisor. Feed them with exports, not with reconstructed chats.

What stays honest on this page

No FTA approved claim. No invented testimonials. No fake user counts.

Numbers you see here match TAX_FACTS: 9% CT, AED 375,000 zero band, SBR ceiling AED 3,000,000 through 2026-12-31, and CT filing within 9 months.

When your facts are odd, stop guessing in software. Open EmaraTax guidance or call your advisor. The product is a ledger with tax prep views, not a law firm.

Year-round hygiene that makes month nine boring

Tag related-party payments when they happen. Reconstructing them from memory is how documentation packs slip.

Separate owner drawings from business costs in the moment. CT season is the wrong time to invent labels.

Keep fixed-asset adds and disposals with invoices attached. Depreciation stories need evidence, not vibes.

Revisit revenue versus the SBR ceiling each quarter if you are near AED 3,000,000. Planning beats surprise.

Keep a simple closing note each month: unmatched lines cleared, drawings tagged, and revenue total versus last month. That note becomes your CT working paper without heroic effort.

When you brief an advisor, send the export plus that closing note. Context reduces back-and-forth and keeps EmaraTax week shorter for everyone.

If revenue nears the SBR ceiling mid-year, diary a planning call. Waiting until after year end turns a planning choice into a scramble.

Keep payroll and visa costs in clear categories all year. Dumping them into miscellaneous creates CT noise you will dislike later.
