The Unique Tax Challenges for Logistics & Transportation Companies in UAE
Intricacies of VAT for Logistics in UAE: Place of Supply & Zero-Rating
VAT can be complicated in logistics. Rules differ for freight, warehousing, and passenger transport. For cross-border services, the place-of-supply and zero-rating for international transport must be applied correctly. We also guide you on input tax recovery for fuel, vehicles, and other costs.
Adapting to Corporate Tax for Transportation in UAE
The new Corporate Tax law affects transport companies in many ways—like how vehicles and vessels are depreciated, how fuel costs are handled, and how overseas income is taxed. We explain how long-term contracts and international operations are treated and plan the most tax-efficient approach.
Customs Duties & International Trade Tax
We help you manage customs duties on goods in transit, re-exports, and free zone storage. We also explain how trade agreements and free zone rules affect your tax position.
Maximizing Free Zone Logistics Tax Benefits & Compliance
Many logistics firms operate in Free Zones, which can bring 0% Corporate Tax on qualifying income. But businesses must meet substance requirements and follow rules for transactions between free zones and the mainland. We guide you through this process to ensure compliance and savings.
