UAE Corporate Tax Calculator

Calculate your corporate tax liability under the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. This free tax calculator helps businesses understand their tax obligations based on taxable income.

Important: The UAE has no personal income tax so far. Corporate tax only applies to businesses and juridical persons, effective from 1st June, 2023.

Standard Corporate Tax Rate

Mainland companies and most resident businesses are subject to the standard corporate tax rate with the following structure:

  • 0% tax rate on taxable income up to AED 375,000
  • 9% tax rate on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000

Example: If your taxable income is AED 1,000,000, the first AED 375,000 is tax-free, and you pay 9% on the remaining AED 625,000, resulting in AED 56,250 in corporate tax.
