UAE Corporate Tax Compliance Toolkit

How this toolkit fits into your tax filing

This is the master compliance checklist for the whole UAE Corporate Tax Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 and its Cabinet/Ministerial Decisions) — grounded in the official FTA Corporate Tax Guides. Work through each group below (they mirror the 9 sections of the CT Return Tool). Until every applicable question in a section is answered “Yes” or “N/A”, that section will show a red flag in the UAE Corporate Tax Return Tool ↗ once you send this checklist across — the return can still be filed with flags showing, but you'll need to deliberately override each one. Need to build your Related Party register or financial statements first? Use the Transfer Pricing Toolkit ↗ or MagicFS ↗.

Send to CT Return Tool

This pushes your entity name, Tax Period, and a per-section compliance status snapshot into the CT Return Tool, so it can show the correct red/green flag next to each of its 9 sections and clear the overall compliance banner once everything is confirmed.
