UAE corporate tax is a 9% federal tax on business net profits above AED 375,000, effective for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. Profits up to AED 375,000 are taxed at 0%. All taxable persons — including most Free Zone entities — must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and file a corporate tax return annually, even when no tax is due.

Corporate Tax FAQs
What is the corporate tax rate in the UAE?
The UAE applies a 0% rate on taxable profits up to AED 375,000 and a 9% rate on profits above that amount. A separate rate may apply to large multinationals under the OECD global minimum tax framework.
When is the corporate tax return due?
The corporate tax return must be filed within nine months after the end of your financial year. For a year ending 31 December, the deadline is 30 September of the following year. Late filing results in administrative penalties.
Do Free Zone companies pay corporate tax?
Free Zone companies may qualify for a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions, including adequate substance and qualifying activities. Non-qualifying income is taxed at 9%. Registration and filing remain mandatory.
What happens if I don't register for corporate tax?
Failure to register by the required deadline triggers an administrative penalty from the Federal Tax Authority. Additional penalties apply for late filing and late payment, so timely registration is essential to avoid fines.
What corporate tax services does HAS Global offer in the UAE?
We offer corporate tax registration, return filing, assessment, grouping, deregistration, reconsideration, registration amendments, QFZP assessments and transfer pricing, and we can act as your tax agent before the FTA.
Can you handle my corporate tax from registration to filing?
Yes. We can register your business, prepare and file your annual return, advise on Free Zone status and grouping, and support you if the FTA contacts you.
How much do corporate tax services cost in the UAE?
Fees depend on the service, the size and structure of your business, and whether you need a one-off service or ongoing support. We give you a clear fee upfront after a free consultation.
