What is UAE Corporate Tax?
The UAE introduced federal Corporate Tax (CT) for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023, administered by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). It applies to the taxable income of mainland companies, Free Zone entities, and other businesses licensed in the UAE, with a small number of exemptions such as government entities and qualifying public benefit organisations.
Taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%, and the remainder is taxed at 9%. This band applies progressively, not as a cliff. Free Zone businesses that qualify as a Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) can continue to pay 0% on qualifying income, while their non-qualifying income is taxed at 9% from the first dirham. Eligible small businesses with revenue at or below AED 3,000,000 can elect for Small Business Relief and pay no CT at all. Use the calculator above to estimate what you owe in seconds.
