Questions about Corporate tax & VAT registration
Do I have to pay UAE corporate tax?
UAE companies must register for corporate tax. The standard rate is 9% on taxable profit above AED 375,000, with 0% below that. Some free zone companies can qualify for a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet the conditions. We register you; for tax advice we refer you to a licensed tax adviser.
When do I need to register for VAT?
VAT registration is mandatory when taxable supplies or imports exceed AED 375,000 over 12 months (or are expected to in the next 30 days), and voluntary from AED 187,500. The standard VAT rate is 5%.
