Expert Tax Compliance. Strategic Tax Planning. UAE-Focused Solutions.
At Edge Management Consultancies, we help businesses navigate the complexities of the UAE’s evolving tax landscape with confidence. Our CIT and VAT services ensure that your company remains fully compliant while optimizing tax positions through accurate planning, timely filing, and strategic advisory.
Understanding Your Tax Obligations in the UAE
The UAE Corporate Income Tax (CIT), introduced to align with international tax standards, applies to taxable income earned by UAE businesses and branches. Proper compliance involves accurate financial reporting, timely return submissions, and adherence to transfer pricing rules and related documentation requirements.
Value Added Tax (VAT), at a standard rate of 5%, applies to most goods and services in the UAE. Businesses are required to register for VAT, maintain proper records, file returns regularly, and ensure the correct application of input and output tax.
At Edge, our tax experts provide end-to-end support—from CIT impact assessments and registration to VAT planning, reconciliation, return filing, and FTA audit readiness. We help reduce your tax burden through lawful strategies while ensuring strict compliance with UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) requirements.
Whether you are preparing for your first CIT filing or managing complex VAT structures, Edge is your trusted partner for all tax-related matters in the UAE.
