The UAE Ministry of Finance has announced that Corporate Tax (CT) will be introduced in the UAE in 2023. CT Federal Decree-Law published on 9 December 2022 confirmed that CT will be effective for all financial years commencing on or after 1 June 2023. The rate of CT for businesses established in the mainland will be 0% for taxable profits up to AED 375,000 and 9% for taxable profits above AED 375,000. In due course there may also be an additional rate for certain large multi-national entities.

There will be exemptions from CT for certain types of entity, including some Free Zone businesses.
