The UAE introduced Corporate Tax (CT) as part of its efforts to align with global tax standards and ensure long-term economic sustainability. As of June 1, 2023, businesses operating in the UAE are subject to Corporate Tax at a standard rate of 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. This significant development requires businesses to stay compliant and strategically manage their tax obligations.

At Corcess Consultancy, we provide end-to-end Corporate Tax Services to ensure your business remains fully compliant with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) while optimizing your financial performance.

Who Needs to Register for Corporate Tax in the UAE?

Corporate Tax applies to a wide range of entities, including:

  • UAE-resident companies (Mainland & Free Zone)

  • Foreign businesses with a permanent establishment in the UAE

  • Freelancers and sole establishments (if annual income exceeds AED 375,000)

  • Free zone companies (depending on qualifying status)

Businesses earning below AED 375,000 annually are exempt from tax but must still maintain proper accounting records.

Key Corporate Tax Rates

  • 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000

  • 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000

  • 15% for large multinational enterprises meeting OECD criteria (under Pillar Two)
