Corporate Tax Services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah & Across the UAE

The UAE’s business landscape changed significantly with the introduction of Corporate Tax (CT) effective from June 1, 2023. While the country remains one of the world’s most attractive places to do business, it now requires companies—both local and international—to comply with a new tax regime.

At The Accountant, we help businesses across the UAE register for corporate tax, file their returns accurately, and stay compliant with every regulation issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

Who Must Pay Corporate Tax in the UAE?

Corporate Tax applies to a wide range of business entities operating in the UAE, including:

  • UAE-incorporated companies and establishments
  • Foreign companies that are managed from the UAE
  • Individuals conducting business activities in the UAE
  • Free Zone companies, if they don’t meet qualifying conditions for 0% CT
  • Foreign entities with a permanent establishment (PE) or UAE-source income

 

Even if you operate in a Free Zone, the 0% tax rate is only applicable if strict conditions are met. That’s why expert guidance is essential.

Who Must Pay Corporate Tax in the UAE?

Understanding the UAE Corporate Tax Rates

Corporate Tax in the UAE is designed to support small businesses while aligning with global transparency standards. Here’s how the tax structure works:

  • 0% Corporate Tax on income up to AED 375,000
  • 9% Corporate Tax on profits above AED 375,000
  • 15% Corporate Tax for certain large multinational companies under the OECD BEPS “Pillar Two” framework

Example Calculation:
If your net taxable income is AED 500,000, only AED 125,000 (the amount above 375,000) is taxed.
→ AED 125,000 × 9% = AED 11,250 corporate tax due.

Why Corporate Tax Strategy Matters

Corporate Tax in the UAE is not just about filing a form. It’s about aligning your financial and operational decisions with legal requirements while minimizing exposure to penalties and overpayment.

Many companies fail to account for:

  • Related-party transactions
  • Expense disallowances
  • Free Zone qualification risks
  • Permanent establishment thresholds
