📌 What is Corporate Tax (CT)?
Corporate Tax (CT) is a direct tax levied on the net income or profit of corporations and other entities from their business operations. In the UAE, CT is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 60 of 2023, which amends provisions from Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses.
This marks a transformative shift in the UAE’s business landscape—one that every company must now account for.
💼 Who is Subject to Corporate Tax?
Corporate Tax applies to:
- Businesses and individuals conducting activities under a commercial license in the UAE.
- Free zone businesses, provided they comply with all regulatory requirements and do not conduct business in the UAE mainland.
- Foreign entities and individuals, if they conduct trade or business regularly in the UAE.
- Banking operations.
- Real estate businesses involved in management, construction, development, agency, or brokerage activities.
💰 CT Rates
According to the UAE Ministry of Finance, CT rates are structured as follows:
- 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000
- 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000
- A special rate (yet to be specified) for large multinationals, based on OECD’s Pillar Two framework for Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS)
