Overview

Part of our Taxation practice.

Discuss your requirement

The UAE Corporate Tax Law, effective for financial years commencing on or after 1 June 2023, represents the most significant structural shift in the country's tax environment in decades. With a headline rate of 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000, Corporate Tax applies to the vast majority of businesses operating across the UAE's mainland and free zones.

Free zone entities may qualify for a 0% Corporate Tax rate on qualifying income, provided they maintain genuine economic substance within the free zone and meet all prescribed conditions under the Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) regime.

Corporate Tax also introduces formal rules around Tax Groups, allowing UAE entities under common ownership to consolidate their tax position into a single filing — reducing administrative complexity and improving overall tax efficiency.

MNV Associates' corporate tax consultants in Dubai bring the technical depth and implementation experience to ensure your business is not only compliant but positioned to benefit from every available relief.
