Understanding UAE Corporate Tax Accounting Standards

1. IFRS and IFRS for SMES: The Pillars of Taxable Income Calculation

Taxable income calculation forms the bedrock ofcorporate tax reporting in the UAE. At MNV Associates, we emphasize the use of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and IFRS for SMES (Small and Medium-sized Entities) as the guiding accounting standards for this purpose. This ensures a robust and internationally recognized framework, fostering transparency and accuracy in financial reporting.

Navigating the Use of IFRS and IFRS for SMES

2. IFRS: A Mandate for Taxable Persons

All taxable persons in the UAE must adhere to IFRS for calculating taxable income, except for those with revenue below AED 50 million in a tax period. For businesses falling within this revenue threshold, the flexibility to choose between IFRS and IFRS for SMES exists.

3. IFRS for SMES: Tailored for Specific Requirements

Taxable persons with revenue not exceeding AED 50 million have the option to utilize IFRS for SMES. However, this choice is contingent on meeting the specified revenue threshold. Should this requirement not be met, the default is to follow the guidelines outlined in IFRS.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

4. The Implications of Deviating from IFRS or IFRS for SMES

A critical aspect emphasized by MNV Associates is the adherence to IFRS or IFRS for SMES. Failure to comply with these accounting standards in calculating taxable income amounts to a violation of the corporate tax law. This breach can result in administrative penalties, underscoring the importance of meticulous adherence.

The Role of Audited Financial Statements

5. Requirement for Audited Financial Statements

For taxable persons with revenue exceeding AED 50 million and all qualifying free zone entities, the preparation and maintenance of audited financial statements become imperative for corporate tax purposes. This meticulous approach not only ensures compliance but also provides a comprehensive view of the financial health of the business.
