Key Areas of Tax Compliance in the UAE
VAT
Value Added Tax (VAT) was introduced in the UAE on 1 January 2018 at a standard rate of 5% on most goods and services. Supplies are generally classified as standard-rated, zero-rated, or exempt, depending on their nature. Businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 are required to register for VAT, while voluntary registration is available for those exceeding AED 187,500. Companies must comply with regulations set by the Federal Tax Authority, including timely registration, filing, and accurate reporting. Effective VAT management is essential to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
Corporate Tax
Corporate Tax was introduced in the UAE for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. It is applied at a standard rate of 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000, while income up to this threshold is taxed at 0%. Most businesses in the UAE are required to register for Corporate Tax and comply with regulations set by the Federal Tax Authority, including timely registration, filing, and accurate reporting. Effective tax management is essential to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
