The New Tax Regime, Explained and Managed
The UAE Corporate Tax (CT) took effect for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. At 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, it is among the world's lowest CT rates. But the qualifying income rules for free zone companies, transfer pricing requirements, and small business relief conditions require careful navigation.
