Overview

What Are Corporate Services

Corporate services are the ongoing functions that keep a company legal and running after business setup. They cover compliance, government liaison, visa processing, accounting, corporate tax, and governance.

Most business owners do not need separate service providers for each one. They need a single team that tracks every deadline across DET (formerly DED) and the free zones, so nothing slips and no penalty lands.

That is the gap Riz & Mona fills as a corporate service provider. We act as your outsourced corporate department, managing the admin load while you run the business.

Why Outsource

Why Outsource Your Corporate Services

Handling compliance in-house means hiring, training, and chasing deadlines. Outsourcing to a corporate service provider gives you specialist coverage at a fraction of the cost.

Avoid Costly Penalties

Late tax payment now carries a 14% annual penalty. We track every filing window so you never trigger one.

One Team, Every Authority

Deal with one consultant instead of juggling DET, free zone desks, MoHRE, and the FTA separately.

Protect Free Zone Tax Status

Qualifying free zone companies keep their 0% rate only if conditions are met. We keep your QFZP position intact.

Lower Than In-House Cost

Skip the salary, visa, and software cost of a compliance hire. Pay only for the business support your company needs.

Audit-Ready Records

The FTA has stepped up risk-based audits. We keep your books and filings clean and defensible all year.

More Time to Grow

Hand off the paperwork and spend your hours on clients, product, and revenue instead of admin.

Corporate Tax 2026

UAE Compliance and Corporate Tax in 2026

Corporate tax is now a live obligation for almost every business in the UAE. Here is what your company must do this year.

The UAE applies a 9% corporate tax on taxable income above AED 375,000. Income up to that threshold is taxed at 0%, but registration and annual filing are still mandatory for nearly every company.

Qualifying free zone companies can keep a 0% rate on qualifying income, but only if they meet the conditions and still file a return each year. Missing the deadline triggers penalties even when no tax is due.

Small Business Relief lets firms with revenue up to AED 3 million elect zero taxable income. A 2026 extension means it now covers tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029.

  • 9% rate above AED 375,000 income
  • 0% rate below the threshold
  • Registration mandatory even at 0%
  • Free zone QFZP 0% on qualifying income
  • Small Business Relief extended to 31 Dec 2029
  • 14% annual late-payment penalty

Visa & Filing Notice

Even a free zone company on the 0% rate must register and file a corporate tax return every year. Skipping it triggers FTA penalties.
