Overview

Best Corporate Tax Consultants in Dubai โ€” Your Complete CT Solution. From 1 June 2023, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) introduced a new federal corporate tax system. Every business in Dubai must now reassess its tax strategy. Al Aegis Corporate Services provides comprehensive corporate tax services โ€” from initial impact assessment and FTA registration to ongoing compliance, return filing, and tax optimization. What is Corporate Tax in the UAE? Corporate tax (CT) is a federal income tax levied on businesses earning more than AED 375,000 in a financial year. The rate is 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on income exceeding this threshold. Large multinationals meeting the criteria associated with Pillar Two of the OECD BEPS framework are subject to a 15% minimum tax rate. Even if your business is not liable to pay corporate taxes, you must still register for CT with the FTA and file returns under specific circumstances. Non-registration or late registration carries penalties of AED 10,000, and failure to file CT returns results in penalties starting at AED 500 per month. Corporate Tax in Free Zones: Free zone businesses can benefit from a 0% CT rate on qualifying income if they maintain adequate substance and comply with transfer pricing regulations. However, all free zone businesses must register and file CT returns. Our experts help free zone companies determine qualifying income and maintain their 0% rate. Our corporate tax services include: Impact Assessment to determine your CT liability and obligations; FTA Registration and TRN acquisition; Tax Planning and structuring for optimal tax efficiency; Return Filing with accurate calculations; Compliance Reviews to ensure ongoing adherence; and Deregistration when your business ceases operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs to register for corporate tax in the UAE?
All businesses operating in the UAE โ€” including mainland companies, free zone entities, and branches of foreign companies โ€” must register for corporate tax with the FTA and obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN), regardless of whether they are liable to pay CT.
What is the corporate tax rate in the UAE?
The UAE CT rate is 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000, 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000, and 15% for large multinationals meeting the OECD Pillar Two criteria.
Are free zone companies exempt from corporate tax?
Free zone companies can benefit from a 0% CT rate on 'qualifying income' if they maintain adequate economic substance and comply with transfer pricing rules. However, they must still register and file CT returns. Non-qualifying income is taxed at 9%.

Penalties include AED 10,000 for late registration, AED 500/month for late CT return filing (up to AED 25,000), and additional penalties for incorrect returns, late payment, and tax evasion. Al Aegis ensures you stay fully compliant.
