UAE Tax Landscape

What Every UAE Business Needs to Know

The UAE introduced Corporate Tax in June 2023, applying a 9% tax rate on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. All businesses operating in the UAE — mainland and most free zones — are required to register, file returns, and maintain compliant financial records.

VAT at 5% has been in effect since 2018 and applies to most goods and services. Non-compliance with either Corporate Tax or VAT can result in significant penalties from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

Common Questions

Corporate Tax & VAT — FAQs

All businesses operating in the UAE — including mainland companies, most free zone companies, and foreign entities with a UAE permanent establishment — are required to register for corporate tax with the FTA, regardless of whether they have taxable income.

The UAE Corporate Tax rate is 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. Qualifying free zone persons may be eligible for a 0% rate on qualifying income subject to meeting specific conditions.

Businesses with annual taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 must register for VAT mandatorily. Businesses with supplies between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000 may register voluntarily. Below AED 187,500 there is no VAT obligation.

Most businesses file VAT returns quarterly — within 28 days of the end of each tax period. Some businesses may be required to file monthly depending on their size and the FTA's requirements. Binary Consultants tracks and manages all VAT filing deadlines for you.

Yes, qualifying free zone persons can benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income. However, specific conditions must be met — including maintaining adequate substance, not conducting business with the UAE mainland, and complying with transfer pricing rules. We assess your eligibility and ensure you meet all requirements.

FTA penalties for non-compliance include AED 500 per month for late registration (up to AED 20,000), AED 1,000 for the first late return and AED 2,000 for subsequent late returns, plus penalties on unpaid tax amounts. Binary Consultants ensures all deadlines are met to eliminate penalty risk entirely.
