  1. Which two instruments carry the VAT grouping test, and what threshold do they set? → Federal Decree-Law 8/2017 Art. 14(1) and the VAT Executive Regulation, Cabinet Decision 52/2017, Art. 9 — a threshold of 50%
  2. A company holds 35% of the votes and a market value interest of 58%. Is it a Related Party for VAT group purposes? → Yes — Art. 9 is disjunctive, and a market value interest of 50% or more is sufficient on its own
  3. How many conditions does Art. 40(1) set for a Corporate Tax group, and how many of them must hold? → Eight, and all eight
  4. A Parent owns 100% of a Qualifying Free Zone Person. Can that company be a Corporate Tax group member? → No — Art. 40(1) excludes a Qualifying Free Zone Person whatever the percentages are
  5. Does the module post journal entries when it eliminates an intra-group transaction? → No — elimination is a report-layer, auditable construct and no member's ledger is touched
  6. Why does the module refuse a tax period beginning before 1 January 2025? → Only the Ministerial Decision 301 of 2024 rule set is supported; Ministerial Decision 125 of 2023 continues to apply to earlier periods and the module refuses rather than guesses
