Corporate Tax in the UAE: Simplified Overview for SMEs





Introducing corporate tax in the UAE signals a shift toward global tax alignment—yet it remains entrepreneurial-friendly. As of June 2023, UAE companies with taxable profits above AED 375,000 face a 9% tax rate, while those earning less benefit from a 0% rate.


Key details for businesses:





  • Who must register? Mainland companies, free-zone firms, and financial branches—or any entity operating in the UAE.




  • What’s being taxed? Profits generated from business activities conducted within the UAE or UAE-sourced income abroad.




  • Deadlines matter: Annual filing and compliance are mandatory—missed deadlines incur penalties.
