From June 1, 2023, the UAE introduced Corporate Tax (CT) under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. Businesses are required to register, whether they are subject to a 0% or 9% tax rate.

✅ Who Needs to Register?

• Mainland UAE businesses
• Free Zone companies
• Individuals earning business income above the required threshold
  
  

🚫 Who is Exempt?

• Government entities
• Businesses involved in natural resource extraction (still taxed but under different regulations)

By registering on time, businesses avoid penalties and remain compliant with UAE tax laws.
