Quick answer

Understand your UAE corporate tax position before requesting advice

UAE corporate tax can depend on taxable income, revenue level, free zone status, qualifying income, Small Business Relief and compliance readiness. This tool gives an indicative planning note and helps identify whether your case may need consultant review.

  • 0% band may apply up to AED 375,000 taxable income
  • 9% rate may apply above the relevant threshold
  • Free zone status may require separate review
  • Small Business Relief may depend on revenue and eligibility
  • Registration and filing obligations should still be checked
Guided review

Understand your tax position in five steps

Answer a few questions about your company. We'll return an indicative corporate tax note - not a final calculation.

ProgressStep 1 of 5

Step 1 of 5 · Company type

What type of company is it?

Your structure sets the baseline for how UAE corporate tax applies.

Step 2 of 5 · Annual revenue

What's your annual revenue?

Revenue up to AED 3M may keep Small Business Relief in scope - eligibility is confirmed separately.

Step 3 of 5 · Estimated annual profit

What's your estimated annual profit?

Profit, not revenue. This is what positions you against the AED 375,000 zero band.

Step 4 of 5 · Free zone status

What's your free zone status?

Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) status affects the 0% / 9% split. Only choose “Qualifying” if you already understand this status.

Step 5 of 5 · Records & compliance

Where are you on records & compliance?

This shapes your registration and filing checklist - it doesn't change the tax band.

Submit Your Request
What is the UAE corporate tax rate?
The standard UAE corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, and 0% on taxable income up to that amount. Qualifying Free Zone Persons may benefit from 0% on qualifying income. Rates and conditions are set by law and should be confirmed against current official guidance.
Who has to register for UAE corporate tax?
Generally all UAE companies, including free zone companies, are required to register for corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority, even if their expected tax is zero. Many natural persons doing business above certain turnover levels are also in scope. Registration deadlines depend on your licence details.
How is UAE corporate tax calculated?
Corporate tax is calculated on taxable income, which starts from accounting profit and is adjusted according to the corporate tax law. As an indicative rule, the first AED 375,000 of taxable income is taxed at 0% and the amount above it at 9%. The exact calculation depends on adjustments, reliefs and your status, so this calculator shows an indicative figure only.
Do free zone companies pay 0% corporate tax?
Not automatically. A free zone company may benefit from 0% on qualifying income only if it meets the Qualifying Free Zone Person conditions, including adequate substance, qualifying activities and compliance requirements. Non-qualifying income is generally taxed at 9%. Whether you qualify usually requires a professional review.
What is Small Business Relief?
Small Business Relief may allow businesses with revenue up to AED 3,000,000 in the relevant tax period (and each prior period within the relief window) to be treated as having no taxable income for that period. It is elective, has conditions, and is currently time-limited, so check whether it applies to your case with a consultant.
Does corporate tax apply if my profit is below AED 375,000?
If your taxable income is below AED 375,000 the applicable rate on it is 0%, so no corporate tax is usually payable. You are still generally required to register, keep records and file a corporate tax return.
When do I need to file a corporate tax return?
A corporate tax return is generally due within 9 months of the end of the relevant financial year, and any tax due is payable in the same window. Your first tax period depends on your financial year. Missing deadlines can lead to penalties.
Do I need audited financial statements for corporate tax?
All taxable persons need to keep proper accounting records. Audited financial statements are required in specific cases, such as revenue above AED 50,000,000 or Qualifying Free Zone Person status. Even where an audit is not mandatory, clean bookkeeping makes compliance much easier.
Is this calculator official tax advice?
No. It provides an indicative estimate based only on the ranges you select, and it does not calculate your final payable tax. Your actual liability depends on your accounts, adjustments, elections and status under the corporate tax law. Always confirm with a qualified UAE tax consultant.
What happens if I do not register for corporate tax?
Failing to register or file on time can lead to administrative penalties. If you have not registered yet, it is usually best to check your deadline and complete the registration through EmaraTax as soon as possible, or ask a consultant to handle it.
Can Emirae.Pro connect me with a corporate tax consultant?
Yes. After you see your indicative result you can request a corporate tax review, and with your consent Emirae.Pro shares your request with verified UAE tax consultants who can confirm your position, handle registration and prepare your filings.
