❓ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Corporate Tax filing in VigorBooks.

Yes. VigorBooks calculates your UAE Corporate Tax liability directly from your accounting profit. The system applies all required adjustments — non-deductible expenses, exempt income, interest deduction limitations and allowable deductions — to arrive at your taxable income and then applies the 9% CT rate to the portion above the AED 375,000 threshold.
Small Business Relief (SBR) is an FTA election available to UAE resident persons whose revenue does not exceed AED 3 million in a tax period. If eligible, businesses can treat their taxable income as zero — meaning zero CT payable. VigorBooks automatically checks your annual revenue against the AED 3 million threshold and notifies you if you qualify, while still preparing the required CT return for FTA filing.
Allowable deductions under UAE CT include: employee salaries and benefits, business-related depreciation, qualifying interest expense (subject to a 30% EBITDA cap), business entertainment at 50%, charitable donations to qualifying public benefit entities, R&D costs and training expenditure. Non-deductible items include fines, penalties, personal expenses, bribes and dividends paid. VigorBooks identifies and applies the correct treatment to each expense category automatically.
Yes. Under UAE CT rules, qualifying tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely and offset against up to 75% of taxable income in future tax periods. VigorBooks tracks your accumulated tax losses from prior years and automatically applies the carry-forward offset when computing your CT liability for the current year, ensuring you never overpay.
VigorBooks supports multi-entity organisations by computing CT separately for each legal entity and providing consolidated group-level summaries. For qualifying UAE CT groups, intra-group transactions can be identified and eliminated, and group relief (loss transfer between entities) is supported. Each entity's return is prepared individually but all within the same VigorBooks organisation for ease of management.
VigorBooks exports your CT return package as PDF (for review and record-keeping) and Excel (for detailed analysis and sharing with your tax advisor). The package includes the computation summary, all supporting schedules and the income detail required for EmaraTax submission. You then upload this package directly into the EmaraTax portal to complete your filing.
