What is Corporate Tax in UAE
The UAE Ministry of Finance introduced a Corporate Tax on business profits, effective June 1, 2023. This tax reform aims to promote small and medium enterprises by implementing an introductory statutory tax rate of 9% on corporate profits exceeding AED 375,000 ($102,000). In contrast, profits below that threshold will be exempt from taxation. Compliance with corporate tax regulations is mandatory for all applicable companies in the UAE, including filing annual tax returns and maintaining proper accounting records following the relevant laws and regulations.
The corporate Tax in UAE was introduced to assist the UAE in achieving its strategic goals and hasten its growth and transition. With the UAE’s vast network of double tax treaties, the assurance of a competitive corporate tax structure that complies with international norms would solidify the UAE’s position as a top business and investment location. Given the UAE’s status as a worldwide financial and economic center, the UAE Corporate Tax Code draws on best practices worldwide and contains well-recognized and respected concepts. As a result, the UAE Corporate Tax Law is ensured to be clear in its ramifications and easy to understand.

Implementation in the UAE
The ever-evolving legal and compliance landscape in the UAE has brought forth the new UAE Corporate Tax (Dubai/UAE CT) and its administrative corporate tax compliance framework, triggering extensive discussions. Both regional and global economies keenly observe this rollout, taking the UAE corporate tax rate into account for their calculations. Although still among the lowest, the introduction of this new tax regime represents a significant leap from the previous system, impacting various facets of businesses, from pricing and marketing to accounting procedures, documentation, and IT infrastructure.
In this context, businesses operating in the UAE, be it Offshore or Onshore, must carefully analyze the implications of the Company Tax on their transactions, including cross-border activities and entity structures, ensuring full compliance with the new Corporate Tax requirements. This is where effective corporate tax consultancy comes into play, providing crucial support for businesses to navigate the intricacies of the new tax landscape and plan strategically for optimal outcomes from the outset.

Exemptions in the UAE
The MOF has also announced a few exemptions for certain entities. If your business or institutional venture falls under one of those exemptions, you won’t have to file a tax report and pay the taxes. The exempt entities are:
- Any governmental or public entities that include both federal and regional offices, departments, divisions, and all other public institutions.
- Businesses that deal with the extraction or mining of natural resources in the UAE. As those businesses are already subject to Emirate-level taxation, they won’t have to file the corporate tax report separately.
- Any organisations that work for charitable and social causes. However, such businesses must register as social or charity organisations with the MOF. Those eligible must first apply to relevant authorities to obtain a formal clearance before applying for MOF registration.
- Any public or regulated private entities that deal with social benefit funds like pension or retirement planning.
- Real estate and other regulated investment funds. Similar to charitable organisations, such funds must apply to MOF and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to obtain a formal exemption approval.
- Any UAE companies fully owned by the UAE government and listed with a ministry-level decision to receive the tax exemption.
