Why Paci
Advisory that actually saves tax.
Set it up right, save for years
Free-zone qualification, group relief, related-party pricing — get these right at the start and you can save 9% of profit for years. Get them wrong, retro-fixing is brutal.
OECD-aligned transfer pricing
UAE TP rules follow OECD guidelines. Our advisory team has trained at Deloitte and PwC TP practices — methodology that holds up under FTA review.
Year-round, not just at filing
CT decisions happen all year — new contracts, new entities, dividend flows, intercompany loans. We're available year-round, not just for the annual return.

Common Questions
Quick answers, no fluff.
Still have a question? Ask a Paci accountant on WhatsApp. A real person, usually within the hour.
Yes — every UAE entity (mainland, free-zone, branch) must register, even if eligible for 0% or below the AED 375K small business relief threshold.
To qualify for 0%, your free-zone entity must (a) maintain adequate substance in the FZ, (b) earn qualifying income, (c) pass the de minimis test on non-qualifying income, and (d) not have elected to be subject to standard CT. We do the full analysis.
Any related-party transaction (intercompany services, IP licensing, intra-group loans) must be priced at arm's length and documented. Threshold for full master/local file is currently AED 200M revenue, but disclosure form applies broadly.
Within 9 months of your financial year end. So an FY ending 31 Dec 2025 means a return due 30 Sep 2026. Don't wait until month 8 to start — gathering data and finalising positions takes time.
