Corporate Tax in the UAE

Corporate Tax is one of the most significant changes to the UAE's business landscape in decades. For the first time, companies are required to contribute a share of their profits to the state. While the UAE remains one of the most tax-friendly countries in the world, navigating the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) rules can feel complex if you don't have the right guidance.

At Vista Financials Accounting & Taxation, our role is simple: we translate complex regulations into clear steps for your business. We ensure you stay compliant with corporate tax in the UAE, avoid penalties, and unlock the incentives available to you, so you focus on growth, not paperwork.

Understanding UAE Corporate Tax Rates

Corporate Tax was introduced in June 2023 under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, transforming the UAE's fiscal framework. The regime is competitive, aligned with OECD standards, and designed to promote transparency and compliance.

Every business in the UAE that falls under the scope of UAE corporate tax law must register with the FTA and obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN). This applies to both mainland and free zone entities, regardless of whether their income crosses the taxable threshold.

0% Tax

Businesses earning up to AED 375,000 are fully exempt, encouraging startups and small enterprises to reinvest in growth.

9% Tax

Profits above AED 375,000 are taxed at 9%, one of the lowest statutory rates globally.

15% Tax

Global companies with revenues above EUR 750 million follow OECD Pillar Two rules and are taxed at 15%.

Small Business Relief

Mainland SMEs with turnover under AED 3 million pay 0% tax until 31 Dec 2026, while still filing returns.

Free zone companies can continue to benefit from corporate tax incentives by enjoying a 0% rate on qualifying income, provided they meet substance requirements and operate within permitted activities.

Our corporate tax advisory services in the UAE help identify opportunities for tax relief, apply eligible tax exemptions, and structure strategies that reduce the corporate tax impact on SMEs and large companies alike — helping you keep more profits for growth.
