corporate tax rate service in UAE

Corporate Tax In Dubai: On January 31, 2022, the tax landscape in the region underwent a significant change with the Ministry of Finance (MoF) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announcing the introduction of a new federal corporate tax (CT) system. This system will come into effect for financial years starting on or after June 1, 2023. Apart from Bahrain, the UAE has set the lowest corporate income tax rate in the GCC region at a standard rate of 9%.
