UAE corporate tax is in full effect at 9%. As an FTA-approved corporate tax consultant in Dubai, Essence handles your CT registration, annual return filing, transfer pricing, and audit defence — so your business stays 100% compliant with zero penalties.
Quick Answer: UAE corporate tax of 9% applies to taxable income above AED 375,000 for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. Every UAE mainland and free zone company must register with the FTA (failure = AED 10,000 penalty), file an annual CT return, and maintain compliant financial records.
