Corporate Tax in the UAE

Starting June 2023, the UAE introduced a 9% corporate tax on business profits exceeding AED 375,000. If you're running a business in Dubai or anywhere in the UAE, corporate tax compliance is now mandatory.

Important Announcement for Businesses in the UAE

Corporate Tax Implementation Is Here—Stay Compliant!

The UAE's new Corporate Tax Law is now in effect. All eligible businesses must register, file, and comply with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) requirements to avoid penalties.

Starting or managing a business in the UAE? Understanding the new corporate tax law is essential. Whether you’re planning a business setup in Dubai, forming a mainland company, or registering in a free zone or offshore jurisdiction, corporate tax now affects all businesses registered in the UAE—even those with zero income.

How much is corporate tax in the UAE?

The corporate tax rate in the UAE is 9% on annual net profits exceeding AED 375,000, while profits below this threshold remain tax-free—making it attractive for startups and SMEs. A 15% rate may apply to large multinational companies under global tax rules. Free zone companies can still benefit from tax exemptions if they meet specific qualifying criteria, ensuring the UAE remains a competitive business hub with a clear, investor-friendly tax structure.

Who needs to register for UAE corporate tax?

All businesses operating in the UAE—mainland, free zone, and offshore—are required to register for corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), regardless of whether they meet the AED 375,000 profit threshold. This includes LLCs, branches of foreign companies, and qualifying free zone entities. Even if your business income is below the taxable threshold, registration is mandatory to remain compliant and avoid penalties. Freelancers and sole proprietors may also need to register, depending on their income and licensing structure.

Can I register my business in Dubai to avoid taxes?

While you can’t entirely avoid corporate tax by registering a business in Dubai, you can minimize your tax liability through strategic setup. Free zone companies may still benefit from 0% tax on qualifying income if they meet specific conditions, and all businesses enjoy a 0% rate on the first AED 375,000 of net profit. With no personal income tax in the UAE, structuring your business correctly can significantly reduce your overall tax exposure—though registration with the Federal Tax Authority is mandatory for all.

Who is exempted from UAE Corporate Tax?

Certain government entities and government-controlled entities are eligible for UAE corporate tax exemption. These entities include the UAE federal and local governments, as well as their departments, agencies, ministries, authorities, and public institutions.

How to calculate UAE Corporate Tax?

To calculate UAE Corporate Tax, subtract allowable expenses from your business income to get your taxable income. The first AED 375,000 is tax-free, and any amount above that is taxed at 9%.
