OUR PHILOSOPHY

Three commitments
in everything we do.

FWG operates on three principles. They aren't service lines — they are how we work. Every engagement carries all three.

Assure.

We safeguard trust. Through rigorous assurance, compliance, and forensic expertise we help organizations operate with confidence, manage risk, and meet regulatory expectations across jurisdictions.

Assurance services
02

Advise.

We bring clarity to complexity. Combining deep technical knowledge with commercial insight, we advise leadership teams and boards on strategy, transformation, and performance — practical, independent, and tailored.

Advisory services
03

Accelerate.

We turn insight into momentum. Through automation, innovation, and forward-looking advisory, we help businesses move faster, operate smarter, and scale sustainably — focused on measurable progress and long-term value.

WHAT WE DO

Six practices.
One operating philosophy.

We work with established firms that need to enter, scale, or restructure across borders. Pick the practice closest to your problem — we typically run several in parallel.

UAE CORPORATE TAX

Find your corporate
tax position.

A guided walk through the questions that decide your UAE corporate tax — Free Zone or Mainland, Qualifying Free Zone Person (0%) status, related-party transfer pricing, and the Pillar Two global minimum tax.

/ CORPORATE TAX · DECISION TREE
Free Zone vs Mainland

Standard 0% / 9%

Mainland and non-qualifying Free Zone companies pay 0% on the first AED 375,000 of taxable income and 9% above.

QFZP status

0% on qualifying income

A Qualifying Free Zone Person pays 0% on qualifying income and 9% on non-qualifying income, when the conditions are met continuously.

Related parties

Transfer pricing

Related-party and inter-group transactions must be at arm's length, with a disclosure form and, above set thresholds, Master and Local files.

Large groups

Pillar Two 15%

Multinational groups over EUR 750m face Country-by-Country Reporting and the UAE 15% Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax from 2025.
