Al Ain Corporate Tax: Common Questions
Yes. There is no agriculture specific exemption. Date producers, dairy operations and livestock businesses are on the standard 0% and 9% slab.
Yes, with 95% plus common ownership, shared financial year, the same accounting standards, no exempt person status and a formal election. The group is treated as a single taxable person.
They may qualify as QPBEs under Cabinet listings. The exemption is not automatic. Commercial subsidiaries remain subject to standard CT.
Related party transactions at arm length. Disclosure form on every return. Local File above AED 40M aggregate.
Eligibility is tested per entity, not per group. Anti abuse rules can deny SBR where the FTA considers business has been split artificially.
Natural persons are subject to CT if turnover exceeds AED 1M in a calendar year. Register on EmaraTax under the natural person category.
