Corporate Tax in the UAE: What You Need to Know
What documents do I need?
Grab your trade license, corporate charter (MOA/AOA) and key IDs – you’ll need passports or Emirates IDs for owners/signatories Also prep any board resolutions. Missing any piece can stall your submission. We bundle and expedite your EmaraTax setup so nothing stalls your compliance.
Can I really get a refund?
Yes – under the new scheme you can recover your paid AED 10,000 fine. If you register and file your first return within 7 months of year-end, the FTA will refund (credit) any late-filing penalty you paid. We’ll guide you through the process to reclaim your cash.
What is corporate tax in UAE?
Corporate Tax (CT) is a direct federal tax on companies’ net profit (and other taxable entities). Introduced for financial years starting on/after June 1, 2024, it applies UAE‑wide. Profits up to AED 375,000 are taxed at 0%, with 9% on any amount above.
Who needs to pay corporate tax?
CT covers all licensed businesses and traders in the UAE (mainland companies, branches, and qualifying free‑zone firms) and any foreign company with regular UAE income Even sole proprietors (freelancers, consultants, etc.) must register if annual turnover exceeds AED 1,000,000. (Personal salaries and passive investment income are exempt.)
What happens if I don’t register?
Skipping registration incurs strict penalties. Taxpayers who miss deadlines face hefty fines (for example, an AED 10,000 fine for individuals). In April 2025, authorities even introduced a one-time waiver allowing late registrants to avoid fines if they file promptly. Don’t risk it – register by the deadline to avoid any penalties.
How long does registration take?
You can file your registration online via EmaraTax (a 24/7 portal) in about 30 minutes. The FTA then needs up to ~20 business days to process (longer if they ask for extra info). We prepare your docs and track your application so you don’t miss deadlines. Don’t wait – start now.
What’s the difference between VAT and Corporate Tax?
VAT is a 5% tax on most goods and services (borne by end consumers). Corporate Tax, by contrast, is levied on a business’s annual profit. VAT hits each sale at 5%, whereas Corporate Tax applies once to net profit (0% on the first AED 375K, 9% above).
What is Excise Tax in the UAE?
Excise tax was introduced across the UAE in 2017. Excise tax is a form of indirect tax levied on specific goods which are typically harmful to human health or the environment
How much is the tax?
Tax is essentially 9% on taxable profit (with a 0% band to help small businesses). Specifically, the first AED 375,000 of profit is taxed at 0%, and any profit above that is taxed at 9%. Large multinationals may later face an additional 6% “top-up” under OECD Pillar Two rules (to reach 15%) – but 9% is the current effective rate.
What if I miss the 7-month window?
Miss that 7-month cutoff and the waiver vanishes – you’ll incur the standard AED 10,000 late-registration fine. However, it’s far better to register immediately to stop any additional penalties. Our experts will handle the filing and fine, preventing further hassle. Better to swallow one fine now than face creeping penalties later.
