Overview
What UAE corporate tax means for you
Since June 2023 the UAE applies corporate tax at 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above it. All companies, including free zone companies, must register with the Federal Tax Authority and file an annual return within nine months of their financial year-end.
Qualifying free zone persons can keep a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet the conditions, and small businesses with revenue up to AED 3 million can elect Small Business Relief for tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026. We make sure you claim what you are entitled to.
