Categories of Taxation in the UAE
The taxation regime in the UAE is categorized as follows:
Corporate Tax
As of June 2023, a 9% corporate tax applies to companies earning over AED 375,000 annually. Most companies still benefit from a 0% rate until they exceed this threshold. Foreign oil and gas firms are subjected to 55% tax, while foreign bank branches pay 20% tax. Dividends, capital gains, and intragroup transactions are tax-free.
Value-Added Tax (VAT)
Value-added tax is set at 5% in the UAE. It is usually paid quarterly within 28 days of the tax period, though specific rules may apply based on the nature of goods and services provided by the company. Opting for VAT accounting services in Dubai is crucial to handling it and ensuring your business compliance.
Excise Tax
Excise tax applies to products deemed harmful to health or the environment. The rates vary from 50% on fizzy drinks (except plain soda) and sugar-sweetened products to 100% on tobacco, energy drinks, and electronic smoking devices. Companies dealing with these products must register with the FTA and pay the tax quarterly.
Import and Export Tax
- Import tax is 5% of the cost, freight, and insurance value of goods. Many national products imported from the Greater Arab Free Trade Area are tax-free. Goods exported to Free Zones are also exempt from tax until sold in the local market.
