The UAE tax landscape has changed significantly since the introduction of corporate tax in June 2023. What was once a zero-tax environment is now a regulated system, with a standard 9% Corporate Tax rate applying to taxable income above AED 375,000, along with specific conditions for Qualifying Free Zone Persons to retain 0% tax treatment. Businesses that are not properly prepared face real exposure to penalties, missed reliefs, and regulatory risks with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to help you understand features, workflow, and secure task handling with confidence.
Does UAE corporate tax apply to my business?
UAE Corporate Tax applies to all businesses conducting activities in the UAE, with a standard 9% rate on taxable income above AED 375,000. Free zone businesses may qualify for 0% on qualifying income subject to specific conditions.
How are hospitality and real estate businesses taxed under UAE corporate tax?
Hotels need to assess management fees, franchise arrangements, and mixed-supply transactions. Real estate developers need to consider long-term project treatment, related-party financing, and the interaction between VAT and corporate tax on property sales. We advise extensively in both sectors.
Can you help with transfer pricing documentation?
Yes. UAE Corporate Tax Law introduces transfer pricing requirements for related-party transactions. We help businesses prepare documentation, apply the arm’s length principle correctly, and maintain the records required by the FTA.
