Corporate Tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 applies to financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023: 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above it. Every taxable person must register. Qualifying free zone persons can get a 0% rate on qualifying income, and small business relief is available below the revenue limit set by the law.
