Ongoing Compliance & Reporting

Outsourced statutory compliance, tax filing, and board reporting for foreign-invested Iranian companies.

Once your Iranian entity is operating, the compliance calendar starts: monthly VAT, quarterly payroll taxes, annual corporate tax, statutory audit, OIETAI investment reporting, and Central Bank currency reporting. We run that calendar so your finance team in head office only sees clean, board-ready output.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the corporate tax rate?+

The headline rate is 25%, with reductions and exemptions in free zones, special economic zones, and certain prioritised sectors. We optimise the effective rate within the law as part of structure design.

How does Iranian VAT work?+

VAT is 10% on most goods and services, filed monthly. Input VAT is recoverable subject to documentation standards we manage as part of the close cycle.

Do you handle the statutory audit?+

We coordinate the statutory auditor — selection, planning, fieldwork support, management-letter response — but the audit opinion is issued by an independent licensed firm as required by law.

What about transfer pricing?+

Iran applies arm's-length principles on related-party transactions. We prepare contemporaneous transfer-pricing documentation aligned with OECD guidelines for cross-border charges.
