Corporate tax questions
Straight answers to what clients ask us most. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Your accounting profit for the tax period, adjusted for the items the Corporate Tax Law adds back or exempts — for example certain non-deductible expenses, exempt dividends and losses brought forward. It is not your revenue.
Resident businesses with revenue of AED 3 million or less can elect to be treated as having no taxable income, for tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026. It is not available to Qualifying Free Zone Persons or members of large multinational groups, and the election is made in the tax return.
Yes. Taxable persons must register and file a return for every tax period, even when the result is nil or Small Business Relief applies.
A Qualifying Free Zone Person pays 0% on qualifying income and 9% on other income, but qualifying depends on activities, customers, substance and audited accounts. Those facts need a review, not a form field — so we assess them with you.
The return is filed, and any tax paid, within nine months of the end of the tax period. For a year ending 31 December, that is by 30 September of the following year.
