Corporate tax software setup for UAE companies
UAE corporate tax is charged on accounting profit adjusted for tax rules — which means the return is only as reliable as the books behind it. We configure your system so the financial statements, adjustments and supporting detail come out of the ledger rather than being reconstructed at year end.

Frequently asked questions
What is the UAE corporate tax rate?
The headline UAE corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above the threshold set by the Federal Tax Authority, with 0% applying below it and specific treatment available for qualifying free-zone income. Thresholds and reliefs change, so confirm the current position with your tax adviser; what the software does is make sure the underlying numbers are reliable whichever rules apply.
Does the software calculate our corporate tax liability?
It produces the financial statements, schedules and transaction-level detail the calculation depends on, and tracks the items that usually require adjustment. The tax computation and the filing itself remain with your accountant or registered tax agent — Pandoratech implements and supports the software rather than providing tax advice.
We operate in a free zone — does that change the setup?
Yes. Free-zone entities generally need revenue streams separated in the ledger so qualifying and non-qualifying income can be reported distinctly, and related-party dealings need to be visible. We configure that separation at the transaction level, which is considerably easier than reconstructing it from a year of mixed entries.
Can one system handle several group companies?
Yes. Odoo supports multi-company operation from a single database with consolidated reporting and intercompany eliminations, which is common for UAE family groups holding several trade licences. Each entity keeps its own books while the group view is produced without re-keying.
