Corporate Tax Advisory in UAE - FAQs
UAE Corporate Tax refers to a tax levied on the net income or profits of businesses and corporations.
The introduction of Corporate Tax in the UAE serves to reinforce the country’s position as a leading global hub for business and investment. Additionally, it supports the UAE’s progress towards achieving its strategic objectives. Implementing Corporate Tax is a step towards adhering to international tax compliance standards and combating harmful tax practices.
Yes, the UAE Corporate Tax applies uniformly across all Emirates, functioning as a Federal Tax.

The Corporate Tax rates in the UAE are as follows:

  • 0% for taxable income up to AED 375,000
  • 9% for taxable income exceeding AED 375,000
Taxable income is derived from the net profit or income generated through business activities. This is calculated based on financial statements prepared in accordance with approved accounting standards.
The FTA is responsible for administering, collecting, and enforcing federal taxes, including corporate tax, VAT, and excise tax. It also provides compliance support and regulatory guidance to businesses.
Yes, businesses must file corporate tax returns annually, depending on their tax obligations. Compliance with tax filing requirements is essential, and professional tax advisors can assist in meeting regulatory deadlines.
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). Adjustments are made for specific items outlined in the Corporate Tax Law, including unrealized gains and losses, exempt income like qualifying dividends and capital gains, and deductions not allowed for Corporate Tax purposes.
Yes, all juridical entities incorporated in the UAE must register for corporate tax. For individuals and foreign juridical persons, registration is required if they conduct business in the UAE or maintain a permanent establishment.

The UAE corporate tax registration deadline varies based on the financial year of the business. Companies must register before their first tax filing deadline.

Non-Resident Individuals are those entities incorporated abroad with management and control outside the UAE, or individuals not engaged in taxable activities within the country.
Non-resident individuals may be taxed on income from their UAE Permanent Establishment or income linked to UAE nexus, as per Cabinet Decision No. 56 of 2023, with UAE-sourced income subject to a 0% Withholding Tax.
Free Zone entities in the UAE would indeed be subject to Corporate Tax. However, these entities’ specific corporate tax obligations would be contingent upon their maintenance of sufficient substance and compliance with relevant regulations.
