Optimizing Your Tax Bill
The introduction of Corporate Tax in the UAE presents both challenges and opportunities for businesses. While navigating the new tax landscape might seem daunting, there are strategies in place to optimize your tax burden. One such strategy is utilizing Qualifying Group Relief.
What is Qualifying Group Relief?
Qualifying Group Relief, as outlined in the UAE Corporate Tax Law, allows companies to offset losses incurred by one group member against the profits of another member within the same qualifying group. This essentially reduces the overall taxable income of the group, leading to a lower tax liability.
What is Qualifying Group Relief?
- Reduced Tax Bill: By offsetting losses, qualifying groups can significantly reduce their overall tax payable.
- Improved Cash Flow: Lower tax payments translate to improved cash flow, which can be reinvested in the business for growth.
- Enhanced Group Structure: Qualifying Group Relief incentivizes companies to operate as a cohesive unit, fostering collaboration and resource sharing.
Qualifying for Group Relief
To qualify for group relief, companies must meet the following criteria
- All group members must be UAE residents or have a permanent establishment in the UAE.
- At least 75% of the voting rights and share capital of each company must be owned by another company within the group.
- All group members must have the same fiscal year.
