    I think he got rejected for the exception for some reason but then continues to file quarterly returns and just puts zeros in all columns so it's easy. if you do get exception granted, then you don't need to do any of this. I'm in the process of applying for exception, perhaps we should stay in...

    UAE Tax Deadlines to Avoid MASSIVE Fines?

    in the final stages when you're registering there'll be a box that allows you to elect for small business relief. If your company is an LLC you may need to submit audited statements, but I think an unaudited financial statement will suffice if you're actually a small business
