The UAE's Federal Tax Authority recently issued guidelines on the grouping of companies for corporate tax. The #CTL (Corporate Tax Law) published by the #UAE Federal Tax Authority defines a tax group as two or more resident taxable persons that are treated as a single taxable person. The parent company is required to calculate the group’s taxable income by consolidating the financial accounts of each subsidiary, eliminating intragroup transactions.   One of the main advantages of a group structure over separate companies with common ownership is that, subject to various conditions being met, group companies have the benefit of a number of tax exemptions and reliefs between them. These include applying certain tax losses and reliefs across the group, transferring of assets between group companies and also corporation and stamp tax (or Land Transaction Tax in Wales) exemptions.   Grouping for the purposes of corporate tax can be a sensible approach in some cases. There are specific rules for creating a corporate tax group and the UAE’s Federal Tax Authority is the final arbitrator. Some of the conditions which must be fulfilled are that all companies must be resident juridical person and none of the entities in the group can be exempt persons or qualifying free zone persons. There are several other rules to be adhered to.   However, there can also be disadvantages to tax grouping: ·     The zero rate on profits up to AED 375,000 will apply at the group level; It will not decrease or increase in proportion to the members in the group. ·     The group members are jointly and severally liable for tax debts.   Tax grouping will provide simplified compliance for businesses that can fulfil the conditions. However, the conditions and exclusions are strict and many trading groups will not qualify.   Note : The tax grouping provision is not available in #India. #Dubaitax #consultancy

UAE FTA urges eligible commercial entities to register for corporate tax by June 30 The UAE's Federal Tax Authority is urging all resident eligible commercial entities to register for corporate tax by June 30 to avoid late penalties. Juridical persons that are subject to corporate tax with licences issued in March and April, regardless of the year of issuance, must submit their tax registration application by the deadline or face an administrative penalty of Dh10,000 ($2,723), the FTA said in a statement on Sunday. Juridical persons are those who have permits issued by the authorities to function as commercial entities. Corporate tax registration is available through the EmaraTax digital tax services platform, with the registration process broken down into four main steps, the authority said. The FTA's reminder comes after the UAE announced corporate tax registration deadlines for this year for eligible businesses. Under a decision that took effect from March 1, businesses must register by a certain date depending on the month of their licence being issued, or face a fine of Dh10,000. The FTA on Sunday also urged those eligible to pay corporate tax to consult the public clarification that the authority has issued regarding the specified timelines. Those incorporated before March 1, 2024 must submit their corporate tax registration application based on the month of their licence issuance, the FTA said. For those with multiple licences, the deadline is determined by the licence with the earliest issuance date. Meanwhile, entities incorporated after March 1 this year must submit their tax registration application within three months from the date of establishment or recognition. Juridical persons recognised under foreign legislation but effectively managed and controlled in the UAE must submit a tax registration application within three months from the end of their financial year. The UAE introduced the federal corporate tax with a standard statutory rate of 9 per cent starting from the financial year beginning on or after June 1, 2023. It brought the income of companies exceeding Dh375,000 within the taxable bracket. Taxable profits below that level will be subject to a tax of zero per cent. The Ministry of Finance also confirmed in May last year that business owners in the country would be subject to corporate tax only if their turnover in a calendar year exceeds Dh1 million, ensuring that only business or business-related activity income is taxed. #UAETaxRegistration #UAEtax #CorporateTax #BusinessNews #UAEFTA #FreeTradeAgreements #TradeUAE #GlobalTrade #ExportUAE #ImportUAE #EconomicDevelopment #TradeRelations #FTApartners #InternationalTrade
