Am I Exempt From Corporate Tax?

No business is exempt from registration for corporate tax in the UAE

All businesses are required to register for corporate tax, including those operating in free zones. However, the application of the corporate tax rate has specific thresholds and exemptions to consider. The rate thresholds may mean you still don't end up paying any corporate tax, but you should still register.

Corporate Tax Rates-

0% Tax Rate: Businesses with taxable income up to AED 375,000 are subject to a 0% tax rate. This provision aims to support small businesses and startups by relieving them of the corporate tax burden if their income does not exceed this threshold.


9% Tax Rate: For businesses with taxable income above AED 375,000, a corporate tax rate of 9% applies. This rate is considered competitive globally and is designed to attract foreign investment while maintaining economic stability.

Exemptions from Corporate Tax

Certain types of income and specific entities are exempt from corporate tax, which include:
  1. Natural Resource Extraction: Businesses involved in the extraction of natural resources are exempt, as these are taxed at the emirate level.
  2. Dividends and Capital Gains: Dividends and capital gains earned from qualifying shareholdings are exempt from corporate tax.
  3. Intra-Group Transactions: Qualifying intra-group transactions and reorganizations are exempt, provided they meet the necessary conditions.
  4. Personal Income: Individual income from employment, dividends, capital gains, interest, and other investment returns is generally not subject to corporate tax. This includes rental income from real estate investments, even if held through private or family trusts, under certain conditions.
