Corporate Tax in UAE is a form of direct tax levied on the net income or profit of corporations and other businesses. Going forward, licensees operating in UAE will be required to assess the impact of the upcoming regulations to their business and undertake the necessary compliance. On this note, the UAE Tax Authorities have already stated that non-compliance will translate to crippling penalties.

Scope of the Corporate Tax
The UAE has introduced a federal tax system that is applicable to all businesses and commercial activities operating within the seven emirates. However, there are certain exceptions:
Businesses operating in the extraction of natural resources. These will continue to be subject to the tax decrees issued by the respective Emirate Individuals earning income in their personal capacity (i.e. salary, investment income) as long as the income generating activity does not require a commercial license.
Businesses registered in Free Trade Zones, provided they comply with all the regulatory requirements, and that do not conduct business with Mainland UAE.
It is interesting to note that the foreign Banking sector, which has been operating under the Emirate level Bank tax decree will now be subject to the UAE Federal Tax Law. The impact of CT on the Emirate level banking tax decree will be communicated in due course. This will be a significant shift for both branches of foreign Banks, that will need to switch to the new Law and for local banks who similar to other businesses will now be subject to corporate tax. -
Rates
The announced UAE CT regime introduces a tier system with 3 rates:
• All annual taxable profits that fall under AED 375,000 shall be subject to zero rate.
• All annual taxable profits above AED 375,000 shall be subject to 9% rate.
• ALL MNEs that fall under the scope of Pillar 2 of the BEPS 2.0 framework (i.e. consolidated global revenues in excess of AED 3.15 billion) shall be subject to different rates as per OECD Base Erosion and Profit-Sharing rules.
Taxable profits are the accounting profits subject to certain adjustments. At RNI, our team of experts can help you in assessing the challenges and opportunities that the introduction of a Corporate Tax will bring.
