Corporate tax in Dubai
Since 2023 the UAE levies 9% corporate tax above a threshold. For many entrepreneurs this remains highly competitive internationally — and Free Zones can retain 0% under conditions.
How does the 9% work?
Profit up to AED 375,000 is 0%; above that 9% applies. Qualifying Free Zone income can stay 0%. Correct structuring is decisive.
