UAE Corporate tax rates are set at 0% for taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% for taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. For example, if your company’s taxable income is AED 500,000, you pay 0% tax on AED 375,000 and 9% tax on the remaining AED 125,000, resulting in a total corporate tax of AED 11,250.
Additionally, specific criteria aligned with “Pillar Two” of the OECD BEPS project indicate a 15% tax rate for large multinational corporations with consolidated global revenue exceeding EUR 750 million (equivalent to AED 3.15 billion). This rate aligns with the global minimum effective tax rate under “Pillar Two.”
