Corporate Tax done right
the first time.
Registration, annual filing, transfer pricing, Free Zone qualifying income analysis, FTA audit defence — JPA handles every Corporate Tax requirement for Dubai businesses, from solo founders to multinational groups.
2026 is the year UAE CT gets real.
First-year CT filings closed in 2025. By 2026, we’re seeing actual FTA reviews — voluntary disclosure invitations, transfer pricing requests, Free Zone substance assessments. The grace period of “figuring it out” is over.
What surprises clients most: how much depends on details that didn’t matter pre-CT. Whether your office is leased or owned. How many people you actually employ vs. how many are on your payroll. Where your decision-makers sit on the day they sign contracts. Whether your bookkeeping treats inter-company charges correctly.
JPA’s Corporate Tax team handles all of this — from initial registration through annual filing through transfer pricing documentation through FTA representation. We don’t outsource the technical work to juniors. Every CT engagement has senior advisor oversight.
Full-spectrum CT compliance for every structure.
