- Review the accounts and identify decisions or documents that need your input.
- Prepare and review the return with you before submission and retain the supporting file.
What we need from you
Start with the evidence.

Scope boundaries
Agree the extras first.
Bookkeeping remediation, statutory audit, disputes and specialist legal opinions require a separate scope or appropriate specialist.
Common questions
Before you get started
Does VAT registration cover corporate tax?
No. The Federal Tax Authority says taxpayers must register for corporate tax even if they are already registered for VAT.
When is a corporate tax return due?
The Federal Tax Authority states that corporate tax returns are generally due within nine months of the end of the relevant tax period. We confirm the actual period and any applicable exception for your entity.
Do free zone companies need a review?
Yes. Free zone status alone does not establish the tax treatment of every income stream. We review the entity and its records against the rules relevant to its facts.
