It would report their income, expenses, and other financial information to the FTA, with correctness in the calculation and payment of taxes by businesses being ensured. Correct filing will avoid fines or legal complications that could stand in the way of uninterrupted business. Timely filing not only ensures compliance with the law but also enables businesses to optimize their tax liabilities, thus making it an important component of corporate governance in Abu Dhabi.
