FAQs

UAE Corporate Tax refers to a tax levied on the net income or profits of businesses and corporations.

The Corporate Tax rates in the UAE are as follows:

  • 0% for taxable income up to AED 375,000

Determining taxable income in the UAE relies on a business’s net profit or loss per its financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
