Corporate Tax Registration
All UAE businesses must register for corporate tax within three months of establishment. Our team ensures you are registered correctly and on time — avoiding late penalties.
Overview
UAE Corporate Tax Registration
The UAE introduced corporate tax in June 2023. All businesses established in the UAE are required to register for corporate tax within three months of their establishment date — regardless of whether they are liable to pay tax.
The corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. Businesses with taxable income at or below this threshold are subject to a 0% rate. Qualifying small businesses may also be eligible for additional relief.
Prism 7 Corporate manages the full corporate tax registration process on your behalf, ensuring your business is compliant from day one.
