UAE’s Corporate Tax Policy
The UAE introduced Corporate Tax regulations in 2022, marking a significant commitment to global tax transparency and international fiscal standards. This development positions the UAE as a responsible business hub while maintaining its competitive advantage.
- Corporate Tax applies at 9% on taxable profits exceeding AED 375,000 annually. Businesses earning below this threshold are exempt from Corporate Tax.
- Only profits above AED 375,000 are taxed at 9%. For example, a business with AED 425,000 in annual profits would pay: 0% on the first AED 375,000, and 9% on the remaining AED 50,000, resulting in a total Corporate Tax of AED 4,500.
- Corporate Tax returns must be filed within 9 months from the end of your applicable tax period. Meeting this deadline is crucial to avoid penalties.
- Certain income types are exempt from Corporate Tax, including qualifying dividends and capital gains (from participating interests), and income from extractive businesses already subject to emirate-level taxation.
- Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) are subject to Corporate Tax at 0% on Qualifying Income, provided they meet the prescribed substance requirements, comply with transfer pricing rules, and do not derive excluded income or engage in non-permitted mainland activities. Income that does not qualify as Qualifying Income is subject to Corporate Tax at 9%. All Free Zone entities are required to register for Corporate Tax and file annual tax returns, irrespective of whether their applicable tax rate is 0% or 9%.
- Corporate groups can be treated as a single taxable entity under specific conditions, allowing for potential tax optimization and simplified compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some common questions about UAE Corporate Tax.
No. Corporate Tax and VAT in the UAE are separate tax systems that operate independently. Corporate Tax applies to business profits, while VAT applies to goods and services. These two remain in effect, and businesses must comply with each applicable UAE tax.
Corporate Tax in the UAE became effective for financial years starting on or after June 1, 2023. Businesses with financial years beginning before this date became subject to UAE tax from their first financial year starting on or after this implementation date.
The standard corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable profits exceeding AED 375,000. Profits below this threshold are not taxed. Qualifying Free Zone Persons may benefit from 0% tax on qualifying income, while non-qualifying income is subject to the standard 9% UAE tax rate.
Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) pay 0% tax on qualifying income but 9% on non-qualifying income. All free zone companies must register for UAE tax and file returns annually, regardless of whether they qualify for the preferential rate or have an actual tax liability.
Government entities are automatically exempt from corporate tax in the UAE. Certain government-controlled entities, extractive businesses already subject to emirate-level taxation, and qualifying public benefit entities may also be exempt.
A Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) is a juridical entity incorporated, formed, or registered in a UAE Free Zone that meets specific criteria under Corporate Tax law to benefit from a 0% tax rate on qualifying income. To maintain this status, a QFZP must maintain adequate substance, earn qualifying income, comply with transfer pricing rules, have audited financial statements, and ensure non-qualifying income does not exceed the de minimis threshold of the lower of 5% of total revenue or AED 5 million.
Corporate Tax returns must be filed within 9 months from the end of your tax period. For example, if your tax period ends December 31, your filing deadline is September 30 of the following year. Missing deadlines results in penalties under UAE tax regulations.
In the UAE, Corporate Tax is not applied to taxable income up to AED 375,000. Furthermore, exemptions apply to dividends/capital gains from qualifying shareholdings, qualifying Free Zone income, government entities, public benefit entities, and investment funds. A 0% rate applies to income below AED 375,000, while a 9% rate applies above that.
Yes. Under UAE tax regulations, corporate groups meeting specific conditions can elect to be treated as a single taxable entity. This tax grouping allows consolidated filing and may optimize your overall tax position. Our consultants assess whether your group qualifies for this treatment.
You’ll need your trade license, certificate of incorporation or partnership agreement, Memorandum of Association (MOA), commercial registration, Emirates ID, and passport for significant owners (25%+ ownership), proof of signatory authorization, and any branch licenses. Our team guides you through complete documentation requirements for corporate tax registration in the UAE.
