DgTx helps UAE businesses navigate corporate tax registration, compliance, transfer pricing, and strategic tax planning — so you stay fully FTA-compliant while protecting your bottom line.
Accurate entity registration on the FTA portal, tax residency determination, and Tax Registration Number (TRN) procurement — handled without delays.
Timely preparation and submission of CT returns, tax provision calculations, and deferred tax accounting aligned with IFRS and UAE CT Law requirements.
Master File, Local File, and Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) preparation. Arm’s length analysis and intercompany policy structuring for MNEs operating in the UAE.
Structuring advice for QFZP status eligibility, substance requirements review, and ring-fencing strategies for businesses in JAFZA, DIFC, ADGM, and other free zones.
A structured diagnostic of your current accounting practices, chart of accounts, and intercompany transactions to identify exposure gaps before an FTA audit.
Expert representation during FTA assessments, objection filings, and reconsideration requests — with a documented track record of successful penalty waivers.
Most consultants file your returns. We analyse your full business model — group structure, intercompany flows, and sector-specific exemptions — to find every dirham of legally defensible relief.
Every file is handled by FTA-registered advisors with deep UAE CT Law expertise, not outsourced to junior staff.
We model your effective tax rate twelve months ahead and adjust your structure before liabilities crystallise.
Deep understanding of real estate, fintech, manufacturing, and professional services tax treatment under the UAE CT regime.
Your dedicated DgTx advisor coordinates corporate tax, VAT, and transfer pricing — no handoffs, no information loss.
A structured engagement model that gives you visibility at every stage — from onboarding through filing and ongoing compliance monitoring.
We review your legal structure, financial statements, intercompany agreements, and existing registrations to map your current UAE corporate tax exposure accurately.
Our advisors model scenarios — group relief, participation exemption, QFZP eligibility, and small business relief — and present a defensible tax structure aligned with your commercial goals.
We handle FTA portal registration, prepare transfer pricing documentation, compute taxable income, and submit the corporate tax return within statutory deadlines.
Annual CT return cycles, quarterly tax provision reviews, BEPS compliance updates, and real-time advisory as the FTA issues new guidance — so you’re never caught off guard.
Generic CT advice ignores the sector-specific provisions, exemptions, and risk areas that can materially alter your effective tax rate. DgTx brings dedicated expertise across the UAE’s key commercial sectors.
| Industry | Key CT Planning Angle | DgTx-Specific Expertise | Risk Flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real Estate & Property | Capital gains on property disposals, related party rent benchmarking, developer revenue recognition timing | Off-plan revenue deferral, joint development agreement structuring | High |
| Financial Services & DIFC | DIFC entity CT treatment, financial instruments, interest limitation rules | DIFC regulatory capital deductibility, carried interest treatment | High |
| Technology & SaaS | IP ownership, software royalty flows, R&D deductions, PE risk from remote teams | IP holding structure, QFZP qualifying income for tech IP | Emerging |
| Trading & Distribution | Inventory valuation methods, principal vs commissionnaire structures | Intercompany supply chain TP, customs duty vs CT interaction | High |
| Professional Services | Natural person CT scope (revenue above AED 1M), partnership structures | Sole practitioner vs company structure optimisation | Emerging |
| Holding & Investment Cos | Participation exemption, dividend and capital gains exemption conditions | Ownership threshold analysis, anti-fragmentation rules | High |
Not all corporate tax advisors offer the same scope. This comparison maps what a typical accountant, a Big-4 firm, and DgTx each deliver — so you can make an informed decision before you engage anyone.

All juridical persons incorporated in the UAE and foreign entities with a permanent establishment (PE) in the UAE are subject to corporate tax. The standard rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. Income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%, and qualifying free zone entities may be eligible for a 0% rate on qualifying income.
Businesses must register for corporate tax before the due date of their first tax return. The tax return and payment are due within nine months from the end of the relevant tax period. Failure to register or file on time attracts administrative penalties from the FTA.
Yes — Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) can benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income provided they meet substance requirements, do not derive income from mainland UAE exceeding the de minimis threshold, and maintain adequate financial records. DgTx assesses QFZP eligibility and implements the required safeguards.
Small businesses with revenue below AED 3 million can elect for Small Business Relief, treating their taxable income as nil. However, registration with the FTA is still mandatory. DgTx helps SMEs determine eligibility, elect the relief correctly, and maintain qualifying accounting records.
Transfer pricing rules require that transactions between related parties — including group companies, common shareholders, or connected persons — are conducted at arm’s length. UAE CT Law aligns with OECD guidelines and mandates disclosure of related party transactions in the tax return. Businesses that exceed prescribed thresholds must prepare formal transfer pricing documentation.
DgTx offers fixed-fee engagement packages for defined scopes — registration, return preparation, transfer pricing documentation — and retainer arrangements for ongoing compliance and advisory. All fees are agreed upfront with no hidden charges. Book a free discovery call to receive a scope-specific proposal.
