Corporate tax depends on clean accounting records. We structure your ERP so taxable income, related-party transactions and free zone income can be identified without weeks of manual analysis.
An ERP supports UAE corporate tax reporting when its chart of accounts, entities and dimensions let advisors see taxable income, non-deductible expenses, related-party transactions and free zone income without manual analysis. Corporate tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 is 0% up to AED 375,000 and 9% above, filed via EmaraTax. The ERP organises the data; tax treatment should be confirmed with your tax advisor.
UAE corporate tax was introduced by Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. It applies to financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023, at 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above that. Qualifying Free Zone Persons may benefit from 0% on qualifying income, subject to conditions. Registration and returns are handled on EmaraTax.
The tax is calculated from your financial statements, with adjustments. That means the quality of your general ledger now has a direct effect on your tax position. Mixed-up entities, untagged related-party transactions or a chart of accounts that lumps non-deductible expenses together all make the return harder and riskier.
We do not decide your tax treatment. We structure the ERP so your accountant and tax advisor can see what they need: profit by entity, related-party balances, qualifying versus non-qualifying income, and a full audit trail behind every figure. For specific rules, consult your tax advisor.
These setups make year-end tax work faster and easier to review.
Separate accounts for items your advisor typically adjusts, such as entertainment, fines, donations and certain interest, so they are not buried in general expenses.
Each legal entity in its own company or ledger, with consolidation views for the group and clean intercompany eliminations.
Analytic tags or dimensions for branches, business lines and projects, so income and costs can be split the way the return requires.
Related parties and connected persons flagged on customer and supplier records, so transactions and balances can be listed quickly.
Revenue tagged by type, counterparty location and activity, giving your advisor the data to assess qualifying and non-qualifying income.
Change logs, user permissions and locked periods so posted figures cannot be edited quietly after the books are closed.
Most projects follow these steps, whether on a new or existing system.
We document each legal entity, its licence type (mainland or free zone), its activities and how it trades with the rest of the group.
With your advisor's input, we split accounts that need separate treatment and map old accounts to the new structure.
We set up cost centers, related-party flags and income categories, and make them mandatory where it matters.
Where needed, we reclassify opening balances and migrate history so comparisons across years stay meaningful.
We create entity-level P&L, related-party listings and income analysis reports, then lock periods and enable audit logs.
Transfer pricing analysis is specialist work, but it relies on ERP data. We make sure the system can provide it.
Platforms, services and locations that often come up in corporate tax projects.
On-site workshops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and remote or on-site delivery across the Northern Emirates and free zones.

Ask an ExpertMost ERPs do not calculate the final corporate tax liability, because it depends on adjustments and elections your advisor makes. The ERP provides the accounting profit and the detail behind it. Some teams also build a tax computation report inside the ERP to speed up the process.
Qualifying Free Zone Persons may get 0% on qualifying income, subject to conditions. Your advisor will tell you which income types and counterparties matter. We then tag revenue in the ERP so that analysis is quick and repeatable each year.
Often, yes. Many older charts of accounts were built for management reporting and VAT only. Separating accounts that typically need tax adjustments makes the return easier to prepare and easier to review.
We set up each legal entity separately, with intercompany accounts and consolidation reporting. This supports both entity-level returns and, where your advisor recommends it, tax group reporting.
We can make sure your ERP has proper audit trails, locked periods and reports that tie back to source documents. The audit itself, and any tax position taken, should be handled by your tax advisor or auditor.
