Tax Services for ADGM Companies
Corporate Tax, VAT, Transfer Pricing and Compliance Support for ADGM Entities
The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) operates under its own internationally recognised Common Law framework, while companies established within ADGM remain subject to the UAE Corporate Tax regime administered by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Depending on the nature of their activities, ADGM entities may also need to comply with Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) requirements, Transfer Pricing regulations, VAT obligations, Economic Substance Regulations (ESR), Beneficial Ownership rules, Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR), and the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) framework.
Our Tax Services for ADGM Companies

UAE Corporate Tax Advisory & Compliance
The introduction of UAE Corporate Tax has significantly changed the compliance obligations for ADGM businesses. We assist with Corporate Tax registration, taxable income assessments, Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) reviews, exempt and qualifying income analysis, tax grouping, annual Corporate Tax returns, and ongoing compliance with Federal Tax Authority regulations.
Our advisory also covers mainland transactions, foreign-source income, related-party arrangements, permanent establishment risks, business restructuring, and tax implications arising from cross-border operations.
