What Is VAT & Corporate Tax
Registration?

Owing to the UAE’s attempt to align their tax policies with global standards, FTA registration has been made a legal obligation for all businesses.
VAT & Corporate Tax are the most relevant UAE taxes for business owners. While a 5% VAT is applicable for most goods and services, corporate tax is set at 9% for profits exceeding AED 375,000. Registering yourself or your company as a taxable entity in the EmaraTax Portal is the first step towards VAT and corporate tax compliance in the UAE.
