Understand the 9% corporate tax framework, VAT threshold rules, registration deadlines, and accounting requirements for UAE enterprises.
With the introduction of the 9% Federal Corporate Tax regime and mandatory VAT regulations in the UAE, maintaining strict tax compliance and audited financial records has become essential for every operating business.
• Standard Tax Rate: 9% applies to taxable net profits exceeding AED 375,000. • 0% Tax Rate: Applied to taxable income up to AED 375,000 to support startups and SMEs. • Free Zone Qualifying Entities: Eligible Free Zone companies may benefit from 0% corporate tax on qualifying income subject to meeting substance rules.
Companies must register for VAT (5%) if their taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 per annum. Voluntary registration is permitted once turnover reaches AED 187,500.
Late registration for Corporate Tax incurs a fixed fine of AED 10,000 under Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations. Khan Home Corporate provides end-to-end tax registration, VAT filing, bookkeeping setup, and audit assistance to safeguard your enterprise.
