Corporate tax and VAT services in the UAE
Stay compliant with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). We register your company for corporate tax and VAT, handle deregistrations and support you through FTA audits, so you can avoid penalties and focus on your business.
UAE tax at a glance
The UAE introduced federal corporate tax for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. Taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%, and income above that at 9%. Qualifying free zone persons may benefit from 0% on qualifying income if they meet the conditions.
VAT has applied since 2018 at a standard rate of 5%. Businesses must register once their taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, or are expected to in the next 30 days.
Why it matters
- Registration is mandatory for taxable persons
- Late registration can lead to penalties
- Free zone companies must register for corporate tax too
- Correct registration protects free zone tax benefits
- Deregistration must be filed on time
