What Corporate Tax in the UAE Means for Your Business
UAE corporate tax applies to every taxable person earning above the AED 375,000 taxable income threshold. Federal Decree Law No. 47 of 2022 introduced a 9% corporate tax rate on net income from the financial year beginning 1 June 2023.
UAE mainland companies, free zone entities, and natural persons conducting business under a commercial licence must self assess their corporate tax liability each tax period. Qualifying Free Zone Persons earning qualifying income pay a QFZP 0% rate instead.

FTA registration is a mandatory registration obligation for every taxable person in the UAE. Submit through the EmaraTax portal using UAE Pass before your FTA registration deadline to avoid a registration penalty.

Tax Grouping Setup
A tax group formation requires a 95% ownership threshold across all UAE resident group members. One group level corporate tax return covers consolidated taxable income under single taxable person treatment with the FTA.
