Unlock the Benefits of Small Business Relief in the UAE with Fastlane! 🚀

Running a small business in the UAE? The Small Business Relief (SBR) initiative can help you pay ZERO corporate tax if your revenue meets the eligibility criteria. Sounds great, right?

But the process can be tricky, and missing out on key details might cost you later. That’s why Fastlane is here to assist you in claiming your tax relief correctly and stress-free! 🏆

✅ What is Small Business Relief?

The UAE government introduced Small Business Relief (SBR) to support businesses by reducing tax burdens for those with annual revenues below a certain threshold. This initiative applies for tax periods starting from June 1, 2023, to December 31, 2026, and allows qualifying businesses to pay 0% corporate tax instead of the standard 9% rate.

📌 Key Points About SBR:

  • 0% corporate tax for eligible businesses.
  • Applies to UAE-resident companies and sole proprietors conducting business in the UAE.
  • Available until 2026 to help small businesses grow.
  • No exemption from VAT or other tax obligations.

The aim? To support entrepreneurship, boost economic growth, and make tax compliance easier for small businesses. 🎯


📊 Who Qualifies for Small Business Relief?

To claim Small Business Relief, your business must meet the following eligibility criteria:

✔️ Annual revenue of AED 3 million or less (for each tax period).
✔️ The company must be a UAE-resident entity (Free Zone or Mainland).
✔️ Not part of a multinational group operating in multiple countries.
✔️ Not a Qualifying Free Zone Person (some Free Zone businesses may not be eligible).

🚨 If your revenue exceeds AED 3 million in any tax period, you will no longer qualify for SBR!

Some businesses are excluded from claiming Small Business Relief, such as:

❌ Companies with revenue exceeding AED 3 million.
❌ Large multinational businesses with global operations.
❌ Businesses that fall under Qualifying Free Zone Person regulations.

Even if you meet the criteria, your business must maintain proper financial records to support your tax return claims.
