The United Arab Emirates has become an increasingly regulatory and dynamic landscape, especially when it comes to business taxation. Corporate tax (CT) is the most significant yet complex tax policy these days, with its ever-growing regulatory requirements, such as transfer pricing. This has made corporate tax risk assessments a necessity for every taxable business, and their importance can simply not be overstated.
Let Tax Gian explain to you what a CT risk assessment is and why every business should consider conducting it after regular intervals with the help of corporate tax agents in the UAE.
What is a CT Risk Assessment?
The process of identifying, assessing, and ranking possible tax-related risks that can have an effect on a company’s financial standing, compliance, profitability, or reputation is known as a corporate tax risk assessment. It entails identifying the extent of vulnerability in tax laws, rules, and procedures and putting mitigation plans in place.
A risk assessment is conducted by professional corporate tax agents in the UAE, like Tax Gian.
