What does UAE Corporate Tax mean?

The UAE introduced corporate tax at a rate of 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000 (income below this threshold is taxed at 0%). Free zone businesses can qualify for a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet substance requirements. Corporate tax returns must be filed within 9 months of the financial year end. Non-deductible expenses include fines, entertainment costs exceeding limits, and donations to non-qualifying entities. CrossVal automates corporate tax calculations and filing preparation.
