UAE compliance guide
The corporate tax rates and start date from the UAE Government portal, and the finance data to keep ready.
The portal states a rate of 0 per cent on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9 per cent above it, with a different rate for certain large multinationals, applying from the first financial year starting on or after 1 June 2023.
Your adviser computes taxable income. The ERP supplies a clean trial balance, a fixed asset register, related-party transaction lists and supporting invoices, all in AED and by financial year.
Informational only, not legal or tax advice; each rule was checked against its official source on 6 November 2026. Filing deadlines and free-zone rules are listed as gaps.

A summary for orientation only. It is not legal advice.
The fiscal year in the ERP matches the financial year registered for corporate tax.
Accounts are mapped so income, deductible costs and non-deductible items can be separated.
Group companies and shareholders are flagged on partners so transactions can be listed.
Invoices and ledgers stay retrievable for the retention period your adviser confirms.
We do not claim a built-in UAE corporate tax computation. We prepare the ledgers and reports your adviser uses to compute and file it. If you want a computed report, we scope it with your adviser.
No. VAT is charged on supplies and collected by registered businesses. Corporate tax is levied on net income or profit. They have separate rules, registrations and filings, summarised separately on this site.
The rates come from the UAE Government portal and were checked on 6 November 2026. Your tax adviser or the Federal Tax Authority confirms how they apply to your entity.
