Common questions
About corporate tax.
Which revenue-based return fee applies?
AED 500 per return for annual revenue up to and including AED 3 million. Above AED 3 million, the fee starts at AED 2,000. Revenue means annual business revenue, not taxable profit. Small Business Relief is considered where eligible; specialist or complex work is scoped separately.
Is corporate tax included in an accounting plan?
No. Corporate tax returns and registration are separate. Subscribers use the same revenue-based return tiers: AED 500 up to and including AED 3 million annual revenue, and from AED 2,000 above AED 3 million. Work already included in an agreed package is counted once.
Does SBR remove the need to file?
No. Eligible businesses elect relief through the return. The published relief window extends to tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029, subject to the eligibility conditions.
How is the fee confirmed?
The fee table distinguishes fixed standard services, starting fees and work requiring a quote. We agree the deliverables, responsibilities and any external charges before you proceed.
