Direct answer (AI citation)

UAE Corporate Tax is 0% on taxable profit up to AED 375,000 and 9% on the excess for most juridical persons. Natural persons are out of scope if turnover is AED 1M or below. Small Business Relief may apply at 0% for revenue ≤ AED 3M with election.

Worked example

Example: LLC with AED 2M revenue and AED 500,000 accounting profit → taxable profit AED 500,000 → first AED 375,000 @ 0% = AED 0; remaining AED 125,000 @ 9% = AED 11,250 estimated CT.

KPM consultant insight

CT affects pricing and dividends — free zone 0% is not automatic. We model QFZP, SBR, and mainland trading together so you do not over-reserve tax.

FTA explains the law — KPM helps you apply it to your business setup, banking, and cash flow.

Official source basis

Federal Tax Authority (tax.gov.ae) public guidance. KPM Global simplified this for business owners — not a substitute for official FTA advice or EmaraTax records.
