UAE Corporate Tax Law: What Businesses Need to Know

The UAE Federal Corporate Tax Law, effective for financial years starting on or after June 1, 2023, applies to all businesses that are registered, incorporated, or effectively managed and controlled in the UAE. It also applies to certain non-resident entities with a permanent establishment in the UAE.

The corporate tax rates are:

0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 (to support startups and small businesses/MSMEs).
9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000 per tax period.

Note: The law applies to juridical persons (companies) and certain non-resident entities — not to individual residents unless they are conducting business activities in the UAE that fall under the tax scope.

The Importance of a Tax Consultant in the UAE

The UAE tax legislation establishes safety mechanisms with possibilities for growth, but the regulations are not without complexity and part of the difficulty is the fast pace of regulatory change. An experienced tax consultant in the UAE can help keep you ahead of the curve. Here is why it matters.

Understanding Complicated Tax Regulations

In the UAE, tax regulations frequently change and staying on top of new regulations is essential to being compliant and economically effective.
Mitigating Penalties and Legal Exposure

A small error can lead to severe financial exposure and legal issues. Working with a reputable tax consultant allows you to manage exposure and mitigate risk.
Tax Planning

Tax planning is ongoing and not a single event. A Tax Consultant is best placed to assure that your business is in a ready position for the future and manage its exposure to tax obligations.
Expert Advice for Every Type of Business

Professional tax consultants in the UAE are able to develop tailored strategies, not only for individuals and start-ups but also for SMEs and leading multi-national companies. Long term financial success goes through tax advisors; after all, you only get one tax return!
