Most UAE SMEs that get Corporate Tax penalties arenβt trying to avoid tax. They just missed one of these.
We review SME accounts every month, and the same 5 mistakes keep coming up:
1οΈβ£ Not filing because there was no profit
2οΈβ£ Assuming Small Business Relief applies automatically
3οΈβ£ Treating all free zone income as 0%
4οΈβ£ Ignoring related party transactions
5οΈβ£ Keeping weak records
Any one of these can cost you AED 10,000 or more, even if you owe zero tax.
Swipe through to see how to avoid each one, and save this for your next filing.
