Corporate Tax applies to your business
Every UAE company — including free-zone companies — must register for Corporate Tax with the Federal Tax Authority, even where a 0% rate or Small Business Relief applies. Individuals register once their business turnover passes AED 1 million in a calendar year. Late registration costs AED 10,000, so timing matters.
Small Business Relief — pay 0% Corporate Tax if you qualify
Small Business Relief (SBR) lets an eligible UAE resident business elect to be treated as having no taxable income for a tax period — so it pays 0% Corporate Tax. It is not automatic: you must elect it in your Corporate Tax return on EmaraTax, every qualifying year, and you still have to register and file.
Who can elect SBR
- UAE resident taxable persons only
- Revenue of AED 3 million or less in the tax period and in every previous tax period — exceed it once and SBR is lost for good
- Not a Qualifying Free Zone Person claiming the 0% free-zone rate
- Not part of a multinational group with consolidated revenue above AED 3.15 billion
Miss the election and standard Corporate Tax applies — a costly, avoidable mistake. Tax losses from SBR years cannot be carried forward. We confirm your eligibility and make the election correctly on your return.

Who must register for UAE Corporate Tax?
Every UAE company must register with the Federal Tax Authority, including free zone companies, even where a 0% rate or Small Business Relief applies. Individuals register once their business turnover exceeds AED 1 million in a calendar year. New companies register within 3 months of incorporation.
What is the UAE Corporate Tax rate?
0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on income above that. Qualifying Free Zone Persons pay 0% on qualifying income, and large multinational groups can face a different rate under the global minimum tax (Pillar Two).
Do free zone companies pay Corporate Tax?
A Qualifying Free Zone Person can benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income, but must still register, file, keep audited financial statements and meet the qualifying conditions. We confirm whether you qualify.
Is there a penalty for late Corporate Tax registration?
Yes. The FTA applies an AED 10,000 penalty for late Corporate Tax registration. The FTA has been waiving it where the first Corporate Tax return is filed within 7 months of the end of the first tax period, so filing promptly matters. We check whether the waiver applies to you.
