Corporate Tax Accounting Support in the UAE

UAE Corporate Tax applies to financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023 under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. Taxable income is generally charged at 0% up to AED 375,000 and 9% on the excess, subject to the rules that apply to your business type. Because tax is calculated from accounting profit, the quality of your accounting records directly affects the accuracy of your tax position.
