UAE Tax Landscape (2026)
The UAE tax environment has changed significantly since 2017. Every business operating in the UAE must now navigate:
- VAT (5%) — mandatory registration above AED 375,000 annual taxable turnover since January 2018
- Corporate Tax (9%) — applicable on profits above AED 375,000, effective June 2023
- ESR (Economic Substance Regulation) — applicable to businesses conducting relevant activities
- ICV Certification — mandatory for government and ADNOC procurement bids
- Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) — available to leverage UAE's 100+ double taxation treaties
Staying compliant requires professional management. We handle all UAE tax obligations for our clients — from initial registration to ongoing filing, audit support, and specialist advisory.
