Since the UAE has imposed its corporate tax regime, businesses whose profits are more than AED 375,000 annually are taxed at 9%. It is a step that allows space for small businesses to grow at a 0% tax rate, promoting entrepreneurship and sound business growth in the nation. Whether you are a new business or an established company, having an idea of where your business is going is the start of compliance and expansion.
Not every dirham earned is taxed. Income derived from specific sources, such as government-owned operations, certified non-profit organizations, and certain regulated investment funds, is excluded from UAE corporate tax law. These exemptions help protect public welfare sectors and ensure vital industries can continue to flourish without additional tax burdens.
No! Personal income, such as salaries, rental earnings, and private investments, remains untaxed in the UAE. As long as it isn’t connected to a business entity or commercial activity, your individual earnings are tax-free. This tax-friendly approach continues to attract global talent and investors who seek financial freedom and long-term stability in the Emirates.
Profits earned from the sale of qualifying shares or investments, along with dividends from eligible holdings, are not subject to UAE corporate tax.
Despite the introduction of corporate tax, the UAE offers unmatched benefits, including zero personal income tax, strategic access to global markets, and a business-friendly environment that continues to attract global investors.

Every business that falls within the framework must be registered with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and issued a Tax Registration Number. The FTA also reserves the right to register non-compliant businesses on its own initiative.
If your business is closing or no longer falls under corporate tax, deregistration must be completed within three months. Final returns must be filed, and any pending taxes or penalties must be cleared to complete the deregistration process without complications.
Corporate tax in UAE follows a simplified approach; businesses are only required to file one tax return per year. No provisional returns or advance payments are needed. The return, along with supporting documents, must be submitted within nine months after the end of the financial year. Payments are due during the same timeframe. If a business has overpaid, a refund can be requested by presenting valid documentation to the FTA.
