Corporate Tax Services in the UAE
Welcome to ANPJ's Corporate Tax Services page, where we provide professional assistance and guidance for managing corporate tax obligations in the United Arab Emirates. Corporate tax is a critical aspect of every business operating in the UAE, encompassing the tax levied on the profits earned by companies and corporations. Effective management of corporate tax is essential not only for compliance with local tax laws but also for maximizing tax efficiency and optimizing financial strategies.
Understanding Corporate Tax
Corporate tax regulations in the UAE have evolved significantly in recent years. In January 2022, the Ministry of Finance announced the introduction of corporate income tax, marking a pivotal moment in the country's fiscal policies. Subsequently, on December 9, 2022, The Federal Decree Law No. 47, also known as the "Taxation of Corporations and Businesses" or the "Corporate Tax Law," was issued. This legislation established the legislative framework for the implementation of Federal Corporate Tax in the UAE. Since June 1, 2023, corporate tax has been effective for financial years.
Scope of Corporate Tax
The Corporate Income tax applies to various entities and activities in the UAE, including:
1. All businesses and individuals conducting commercial activities under a commercial license in the UAE.
2. Free zone businesses, with exceptions for those that comply with regulatory requirements and do not conduct business in the UAE mainland.
3. Foreign entities and individuals conducting trade or business in the UAE on an ongoing or regular basis.
4. Banking operations.
