What this service is
A late or wrong tax return can lead to penalties, and the deadlines come around again and again. We prepare and file your VAT returns and your Corporate Tax returns for you, so they are accurate, supported by your records and submitted on time through the FTA's EmaraTax portal.
Before we file, we show you the figures and explain them in plain language. After we file, you receive a copy of the return and a short summary, so you always know what was submitted and what, if anything, is due.
Filing dates and rules are set by the Federal Tax Authority and can change. Please confirm the dates that apply to your business with us. Any tax due, and any FTA penalties, are your responsibility and are separate from our fee.

Common questions
Do you file both VAT and Corporate Tax returns?
Yes. We can file VAT returns, Corporate Tax returns, or both, depending on what your business needs.
How often are VAT returns filed?
The filing period, usually monthly or quarterly, is set by the FTA when you register. We keep track of your due dates and prepare each return ahead of time.
Can you file if my books are not up to date?
Returns must be based on correct records. If your books are behind, we can bring them up to date first through our bookkeeping service, then file.
Do I need to approve the return before you submit it?
Yes. We always show you the figures and get your approval before filing.
What if a return was filed wrongly in the past?
We can review it and prepare the corrected figures. Please talk to us so we can look at your case.
Do you also handle registration?
Yes. We register businesses for VAT and Corporate Tax, and we can also close a registration when a business stops.
