The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has undergone significant economic reforms in recent years, including the introduction of a corporate tax system. This new tax regime has introduced new responsibilities for businesses operating in the UAE, including the timely filing of corporate tax returns.
What is Corporate Tax in UAE?
Corporate tax is a levy imposed on the net profit of businesses operating in the UAE. It applies to both onshore and free zone entities, with certain exemptions and reduced rates for specific sectors.
Who Needs to File a Corporate Tax Return in UAE?
Most businesses operating in the UAE are subject to corporate tax. However, certain entities, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a global turnover of less than AED 3 billion, may benefit from a zero percent tax rate during the first financial year.
