Corporate Tax calculator FAQs
What is the UAE Corporate Tax rate?+
Under the standard regime commonly applied to mainland and non-qualifying income, Corporate Tax is 0% on the first AED 375,000 of taxable income and 9% on taxable income above that threshold. Free-zone and Small Business Relief rules can change the outcome.
Does this calculator replace an FTA Corporate Tax return?+
No. The calculator produces an illustrative estimate only. It is not an official Federal Tax Authority calculation and should not be filed or relied on as tax advice.
What is Small Business Relief?+
Small Business Relief can reduce Corporate Tax to nil for eligible businesses that elect the relief, typically where revenue is at or below AED 3 million (subject to current FTA rules and any sunset dates). Confirm eligibility before relying on a zero estimate.
Do free-zone companies always pay 0% Corporate Tax?+
No. Qualifying Free Zone Persons may benefit from 0% on qualifying income if substance and other conditions are met. Non-qualifying income can still be taxed at 9%. Always verify your status with an advisor.
Should I enter revenue or taxable income?+
Enter estimated taxable income after allowable adjustments — not gross revenue. Revenue is relevant for Small Business Relief eligibility checks, which this tool models separately as an optional toggle.
