Business valuation in the UAE has changed significantly after the introduction of Corporate Tax. In 2026, valuation is no longer just about revenue, assets, or EBITDA multiples as businesses must now consider:

- Post-tax cash flows
- Deferred tax implications
- Free Zone vs Mainland structures
- Transfer pricing compliance
- Tax-adjusted DCF valuations

Incorrect assumptions can materially impact enterprise value, investor confidence, fundraising, mergers, acquisitions, and strategic decision-making. In our latest article, Priyesh Kapadia, Partner – Advisory Services at UHY James elaborates how UAE CorporateTax is reshaping business valuation methodologies across Dubai and the UAE and highlighting common valuation pitfalls businesses should avoid.

Eid al-Adha, one of the most revered festivals in Islam, embodies the timeless values of sacrifice, selflessness, and compassion. Celebrated by Muslims across the world, this festival honours the unwavering faith and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) in submission to the will of Allah (SWT).

Sacrifice demands courage and the inner strength to place others needs before our own. Beyond the festivities and feasts, Eid al-Adha is a powerful reminder of humility, generosity, and service to others - inspiring us to lead with empathy and strengthen the bonds that unite us.

As family and friends gather to celebrate the Feast of Sacrifice, we wish you a joyous and blessed Eid al-Adha Mubarak.

Do you know one of the biggest mistakes businesses make?

It is treating accounting as merely a bookkeeping function.

What once worked as a back-office process is now directly linked to compliance, cash flow visibility, audit readiness and business decision-making.

Today, poor accounting processes can lead to:

- Compliance risks & penalties

- Delayed financial reporting

- Inefficient manual processes

- Poor financial visibility

- Audit readiness concerns

- Slower strategic decisions

With Corporate Tax, VAT compliance, and increasing reporting requirements in the UAE, accounting has evolved far beyond maintaining books of accounts. Our latest article explains how accounting services in Dubai are evolving and what businesses should focus on to stay compliant and competitive.

The article explores:

✔ Corporate Tax & VAT impact

✔ Cloud accounting adoption

✔ Automation in accounting

✔ Outsourced accounting trends

✔ What businesses should expect from modern accounting firms

Regulated entities within the United Arab Emirates, including entities operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance (M*F), Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), should ensure timely completion of their FATCA and CRS reporting and self-certification obligations prior to the reporting deadline of 30 June 2026.

Entities are expected to perform an appropriate assessment of their FATCA/CRS classification status based on the actual operational activities conducted during the relevant reporting period and ensure that all applicable submissions, notifications, and supporting documentation are accurately completed through the relevant regulatory and reporting portals.

The reporting and classification requirements may extend to:
• Financial Institutions;
• Investment-related entities;
• Regulated advisory and arranging firms; and
• Other entities falling within the scope of the FATCA and CRS regulatory frameworks.

Timely and accurate compliance remains essential to mitigate potential regulatory exposure, reporting deficiencies, administrative penalties, and broader compliance risks.

Our team supports regulated entities with:
• FATCA/CRS classification and applicability assessments;
• GIIN registration and validation reviews;
• Regulatory Reporting and filing support;
• Self-certification form preparation and review; and
• FATCA/CRS compliance advisory and documentation support.

Should your organisation require assistance in relation to FATCA/ CRS assessment, reporting, or regulatory filing obligations, please feel free to contact us for further discussion. Email [email protected]

New UAE Wage Protection System (WPS) rules are coming into effect from 1 June 2026.

The latest Ministerial Resolution No. 340 of 2026 issued by the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation introduces stricter payroll compliance monitoring and enforcement measures for private sector establishments across the UAE.

What changes for employers?
✔ Salaries for the previous month become officially due from the 1st day of the next calendar month (Example: March salary becomes due on 1 April)
✔ Any payment after the due date may be treated as delayed salary payment
✔ Establishments must transfer at least 85% of total wages due to remain compliant
✔ Enforcement actions may escalate quickly, including:

• Work permit suspension
• Administrative fines
• Labour dispute registration
• Third Category classification
• Travel bans in severe repeated cases

This means payroll timing, WPS processing, and internal approvals will become even more critical for UAE businesses.
Companies should proactively review:
- Payroll timelines
- WPS compliance controls
- HR and finance coordination
- Salary approval workflows
- Labour law compliance processes

At UHY James, we help businesses strengthen payroll governance, compliance processes, and operational controls aligned with evolving UAE regulations. Email [email protected] and our team will be happy to help you.

The UAE FTA has issued Public Clarification CTP010 providing interpretative guidance on the meaning of “director” and “officer” under Articles 36(2)(b) and 55(1) of the Corporate Tax Law.

Key takeaways:
• A “director” must hold a formal appointment to the board or equivalent governing body.
• Job titles alone (e.g., Finance Director or Sales Director) are not determinative.
• A person not qualifying as a director may still need to be assessed separately as an “officer” based on actual authority.
• An “officer” is determined by substance — including strategic decision-making power or authority to legally bind the entity.
• Senior employees operating within delegated limits, without ultimate authority, would generally not qualify as officers.
• Only natural persons can qualify as directors or officers of a Taxable Person.
• Where a person qualifies as both a Related Party and a Connected Person, the Related Party classification takes precedence.
• The clarification reinforces the UAE Corporate Tax principle of “substance over form”.

This clarification is particularly relevant when assessing Connected Person transactions and deductibility considerations under Article 36.
