Whether you’re headquartered in Dubai, operating across Abu Dhabi, or running branches in Sharjah, our specialists ensure accurate filing, tax optimization, and full alignment with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) standards.

Applicability of Corporate Tax in UAE – Who Must File?

According to the corporate tax guide UAE issued by the Ministry of Finance, the tax applies to:

  • All UAE-registered businesses (mainland, free zone, and offshore branches)
  • Foreign companies with a permanent establishment in the UAE
  • Individuals conducting business under a commercial license
  • Government-owned entities (unless exempted)

However, different rules apply based on location, size, and sector. For instance, corporate tax in DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) has unique compliance and registration protocols.
