The short answer

How does UAE Corporate Tax work?

UAE Corporate Tax is 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above it. Every company must register, usually within 3 months of getting its licence, and file one return a year, due 9 months after the financial year ends. Businesses with revenue up to AED 3 million can claim Small Business Relief for tax periods ending by 31 December 2029.
