Before filing
A Tax Return starts with final and supportable records.
The filing process is more efficient when the accounting close is complete and the schedules behind material tax adjustments are ready for review.

Reliefs, elections, exempt income, tax losses, foreign tax, related-party dealings and other relevant matters need supporting information.
Correct EmaraTax profile
The Corporate Tax Registration Number, Tax Period, legal details and authorised access should be checked before submission.
