Challenges UAE Businesses Face in 2025
The new tax system has added new complicated protocols for compliance. Are any of them giving you a hard time?
⏰ Tight Compliance Deadlines
September 30, 2025 is the due date for CT return and audit report filing which is just around the corner. Audited financial statements are required in order to renew licenses of certain free zones such as DMCC and DIFC.
📊 Complex Corporate Tax Requirements
The complexities involved in implementing the new 9% corporate tax rate, the revised pricing of cross-border transfer of companies, and the duty to observe IFRS standards among others can be too confusing for anyone without help.
🔍 Transfer Pricing Documentation
Audit signoff requires code-compliance transfer pricing documentation, benchmark studies, and arm’s length validation in the individual taxpayer position.
📂 Inadequate Record Keeping
It is vital to retain records for seven years, prepare proper financial statements, and keep audit trails but these are requirements that are often ignored or did not meet expectations as recommended
🛡️ Risk Management Gaps
It appears that institutions can be vulnerable to abuse without periodic control checks for weak points and laxity in operations.
🔒 Cybersecurity & Data Protection
Over two-thirds of companies in the UAE reported breaches last year. UAE Information Assurance Regulation compliance and cybersecurity audits have become major concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Get instant answers to common questions about internal audit services in UAE
There is no law that commands all companies to adhere to internal audits, but it is a good practice for many. With the introduction of the Corporation Tax in the UAE, effective 2023, it has become necessary to comply with stricter policies to avoid fines, invent allowance reduction from the Small Business Relief system, and also to enhance trust of banks and other investors. It will be even more important to have a proper audit if the business entities generate revenue in excesss of AED 375,000 for which the tax rate is 9%.
As a norm, no less than 5 working days, a standard audit takes about 5-10 working days. This time is dependent on the size and complexity of the business in question. For example, businesses with revenue under AED 5M, also known as small businesses, require 5-7 days. For medium enterprises, businesses that fall between a revenue of AED 5M up to AED 20M will request 7 to 10 days. For the large enterprises minimum time required is 2-3 weeks. In case of emergencies, we provide such audits in an expedited manner within 48-72 hours.
External (statutory) audits are required by law for compliance and regulatory purposes – they’re conducted by independent external auditors. Internal audits focus on improving your operations, risk management, and internal controls. Many businesses use external auditors for annual statutory audits and internal auditors for ongoing operational improvements. We provide both services.
In regard to such entities whose calendar falls between January and December, the Corporate Tax return of the financial year 2024 must be submitted by 30th September of 2025. The financial statements, which have been audited, must be completed PRIOR to the return filing. Failure to submit returns on time attracts penalties of 10,000 AED and above. The transfer pricing documents are also to be ready in time before the completion of auditing. We advise you to audit at least 60 days prior to the due date.
Yes! Ministerial Decision No. 84 of 2025 requires ALL Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZP) to submit audited financial statements to maintain their 0% Corporate Tax rate. Even if you’re exempt from tax, you still need audits to prove adequate economic substance. Most Free Zones (DIFC, DMCC, JAFZA) now require audited financials for license renewal regardless of revenue.
Transfer Pricing (TP) ensures that transactions between related companies are priced at “arm’s length” – as if they were independent parties. You need TP documentation if you have transactions with related parties, sister companies, or overseas parent/subsidiaries. UAE requires Master File and Local File for groups with consolidated revenue over AED 3.15 billion, or local revenue over AED 200 million.
