UAE corporate tax, in six lines
Federal Decree-Law 47 of 2022, for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023.
0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on the part above it.
Taxable income starts from the accounting profit, then adds back what cannot be deducted and takes off exempt income.
Losses brought forward can cut up to 75% of a year's taxable income; the rest waits for later years.
Revenue of AED 3 million or less in every period so far: elect it and the period has no taxable income, to periods ending 31 Dec 2029.
The return is filed and the tax paid within nine months of the end of the tax period.
Keep the books and the working behind the return for seven years.
Nine percent, worked out from your own books.
No spreadsheet at year end.
The 9% working, straight from the ledger
Costs that cannot be deducted are tagged when they are posted, so the working is ready at year end.

How is UAE corporate tax calculated?
Start from the accounting profit, add back costs that cannot be deducted, take off exempt income and allowed losses. Taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0% and the part above it at 9%.
Is the first AED 375,000 tax-free for everyone?
For most UAE businesses, yes: it is taxed at 0%. Qualifying free zone persons follow a different regime, and large multinational groups may owe a 15% top-up tax.
When is the corporate tax return due?
Within nine months of the end of the tax period. For a year ending 31 December 2026, by 30 September 2027. The tax is paid by the same date.
Do I still file if I take Small Business Relief?
Yes. The relief is chosen inside the return, so registration and filing are still required.
