Sharjah Corporate Tax: Common Questions
No. Free zone registration is the starting point, not the conclusion. QFZP needs substance, qualifying income, the election, TP compliance and audited financials. All six together.
Likely yes. But the election covers the current period and every prior period since 1 June 2023. If revenue ever crossed AED 3M, SBR is unavailable.
Group internal sales, management fees and loans must be at arm length. Disclosure form on every return. Local File above AED 40M aggregate.
No. SPC follows the same QFZP rules. The constraint is usually substance. Many SPC licensees operate with minimal physical presence.
Refining, storage, blending and downstream services are subject to federal CT. Only upstream extractive activity sits under emirate level oil tax.
We align audited figures with the CT computation, prepare reconciliation working papers and respond to FTA queries. Mismatches between audit and CT return are a leading cause of FTA review.
