Corporate Tax

We review the relevant circumstances, help assemble application information and support the appropriate process. We also identify connected compliance actions, such as outstanding returns or record requirements, rather than treating registration changes as an isolated administrative exercise.

We confirm which entities need to register or deregister and when, prepare the supporting information the application requires, and deal with follow-up questions. Where a business is closing or restructuring, we map the final-period obligations - returns, records and settlements - so deregistration does not leave loose ends that resurface later.

You receive: A completed application pack and a checklist of connected compliance actions.

We review income streams, counterparties, activities and the conditions relevant to Free Zone treatment. The analysis addresses qualifying and excluded activities, substance, documentation and potential consequences of non-compliance. A Free Zone licence alone does not establish eligibility.

We break your revenue down line by line - what the activity is, who the counterparty is and where it takes place - and test each stream against the qualifying-income framework. We then assess the substance, records and monitoring you need to preserve the position, and quantify what changes if a condition is failed, so the treatment adopted is a decision rather than an assumption.

You receive: A revenue-stream classification, qualifying-status assessment and a condition-monitoring checklist.

We reconcile the financial results to the tax calculation, assess adjustments and review available reliefs, losses and credits where applicable. Working papers document the assumptions, supporting records and tax treatment adopted for significant items.

Starting from the trial balance and financial statements, we prepare a bridge from accounting profit to taxable income: each adjustment identified, calculated and cross-referenced to its supporting evidence. Judgement areas are written up explicitly so management can see the position taken and the reasoning behind it before anything is filed.

You receive: A full computation pack with an accounting-to-tax bridge, adjustment schedules and documented positions.

We prepare or review return data and supporting schedules, reconcile them to the computation and financial records, and identify outstanding matters for management approval. Filing assistance is provided within the agreed scope and appropriate access authorisation.

We populate or review every return field against the computation, reconcile the disclosed figures to the accounts, resolve exceptions and produce a management summary of the positions and open items requiring sign-off. The final filing pack keeps the return, computation and evidence together so later questions can be answered from one place.

You receive: A reconciled return pack with management approval summary and an organised filing archive.

We review calculations, prior filings, supporting records and internal processes to identify potential errors or weakly supported positions. Findings are prioritised by significance, with recommendations for remediation and further analysis where necessary. This is not a statutory audit.

We re-perform key parts of prior computations, sample-test adjustments against evidence, and probe the areas a reviewer would probe: related-party balances, relief claims, classification judgements and record completeness. You receive a candid picture of where the filing stands up, where it needs strengthening and what a correction would involve.

You receive: A prioritised findings report with exposure assessment and remediation recommendations.

We evaluate the conditions and implications of available grouping arrangements, loss utilisation and reliefs. The review considers ownership, financial reporting, restrictions and continuing requirements, helping management weigh administrative benefits against compliance responsibilities.

We test eligibility against the ownership and reporting conditions, model what grouping or a relief claim actually changes - cash, compliance workload, exposure - and set out the ongoing obligations that come with it. Where losses exist, we track their availability, restrictions and interaction with other positions so nothing usable is silently lost.

You receive: An eligibility and implications analysis with a loss-and-relief register and recommendation.

We assess the tax consequences of transfers, disposals, reorganisations and proposed ownership arrangements. The advice considers relevant relief conditions and continuing obligations, and identifies steps that should be addressed before transactions are executed.

For each step of the proposed transaction we identify the tax events it triggers, the reliefs potentially available and the conditions attached to them - including those that continue after completion. The advice arrives as a step plan with the sequence, documentation and elections needed, so tax treatment is secured by design rather than argued afterwards.

You receive: A transaction step plan with tax analysis, relief conditions and pre-completion action list.

We review a specific area of uncertainty, organise the facts and prepare the technical analysis for an appropriate clarification request. We help distinguish questions requiring interpretation from those that can be resolved through existing published guidance. Authority approval is not promised.

We first test whether published guidance already answers the question - a faster and cheaper route. Where genuine uncertainty remains, we frame the question precisely, assemble the complete factual background and prepare the technical analysis supporting your preferred interpretation, then help respond to any follow-up requests during the process.

You receive: A clarification application pack with framed question, facts and technical analysis.

We assist with current and deferred tax workings, relevant accounting disclosures and analysis of significant tax positions. The work is coordinated with the finance team and, where appropriate, the financial statement auditor; it does not constitute an audit opinion.

We prepare or review the current tax charge, deferred tax balances and movement schedules, draft the tax notes for the financial statements and document the analysis behind significant or uncertain positions - in a format your auditor can work through efficiently, reducing the back-and-forth at reporting time.

You receive: Current and deferred tax workings, draft disclosures and position papers for the audit file.

We help finance teams establish responsibilities, documentation standards and tax review checkpoints. Ongoing support can include transaction queries, periodic updates and practical training, with the frequency and scope agreed to match the business's needs.

We design the annual tax calendar, assign ownership for each obligation, set the documentation standard each filing must meet and build review checkpoints into the close process. Under an ongoing arrangement, your team gets a direct line for transaction questions as they arise - before entries are booked, not after.

You receive: A tax governance framework with calendar, responsibility matrix and documentation standards, plus agreed ongoing access.

We help organise records, reconcile return positions and prepare responses to requests during a tax review. Where issues are identified, we assess available corrective steps and coordinate any further dispute or representation support required.

From the first information request, we run the response process: a document index mapped to each question, reconciliations that tie the return to the records, and drafted explanations reviewed for consistency before anything is submitted. If the review surfaces genuine errors, we quantify them and set out the correction options with their consequences.

You receive: An organised response file with reconciliations, drafted replies and, where needed, a correction plan.
