Corporate Tax Registration in the UAE, Professional Services for Your Business
Corporate tax registration in the UAE is an obligatory procedure concerning every taxable organization and selected tax-exempt organizations, depending on the UAE Federal Decree-Law on Corporate Tax. The timely registration process helps you confirm to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations whether you are a mainland company, a Free Zone organization, or you are implementing a branch of a foreign business firm.
Since the corporate tax element of the UAE taxes the profits of a company at the rate of 0% on the annual taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on the income above this amount, the registration procedure is the initial concern of successful tax planning.
Who Would Require Registering for Corporate Tax in the UAE?
Registering is usually required by businesses and individuals who conduct commercial activities in the UAE, and these include:
- Companies working on the mainland (LLCs, PJSCs, PSCs)
