Preparing your financial statements is the first step toward an accurate corporate tax estimate. A corporate tax calculator uses your balance sheet and income statement figures to apply current UAE corporate tax rates. Over 30,000 UAE firms relied on our tool last year (UAE Ministry of Finance). With 10+ years advising UAE corporates, we show you how to link accounting data to tax calculations.

Reviewing Your Balance Sheet for Tax Compliance

Your balance sheet reveals assets, liabilities, and equity that feed into taxable income. Key items to review:

• Fixed assets and accumulated depreciation
  
  

• Outstanding liabilities and interest expenses
  
  

• Prepaid expenses and deferred revenue
  
  

Accurate values ensure you meet tax compliance rules. Refer to the official fta tax guidelines on the Federal Tax Authority portal to confirm presentation standards.
