Corporate Tax UAE — Registration, Compliance & Planning
The UAE introduced a 9% Corporate Tax effective June 2023. We handle CT registration, filing, exemption claims, and ongoing compliance so your business stays penalty-free.
Who Must Register for Corporate Tax?
- All UAE mainland companies (LLC, sole establishment, branches)
- Free zone companies — even if exempt, registration is mandatory
- Foreign companies with a permanent establishment in UAE
- Individuals earning business income above AED 1 million/year
Important: CT registration is mandatory for ALL businesses regardless of profitability. Failure to register incurs an AED 10,000 penalty.
