Corporate Tax in UAE

The United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) published the Federal Decree-Law No. (47) Of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses (hereinafter referred to as the “Corporate Tax Law”) on December 9, 2022. The Corporate Tax Law, which applies to fiscal years beginning on or after June 1 2023, establishes the legal framework for establishing and operating a Federal Corporate Tax in the UAE.

The corporate Tax in UAE was introduced to assist the UAE in achieving its strategic goals and hasten its growth and transition. With the UAE’s vast network of double tax treaties, the assurance of a competitive corporate tax structure that complies with international norms would solidify the UAE’s position as a top business and investment location. Given the UAE’s status as a worldwide financial and economic centre, the UAE Corporate Tax code draws on best practices worldwide and contains well-recognized and respected concepts. As a result, the UAE Corporate Tax Law is ensured to be clear in its ramifications and easy to understand.
