The UAE is among those that have the most competitive corporate tax rates around the globe.
As mentioned above, UAE has the most competitive corporate tax rates, this factor leads to best global practices and easy implementation of laws when it comes to the corporate tax regime.
As per the financial statements prepared following internationally accepted corporate standards, businesses in the UAE will have to pay corporate tax on the profits they earn with minimal exceptions. Along with that, the corporate tax also holds conditions such as a minimum 15% tax to be addressed, no implementation of withholding tax, and foreign tax credit in the UAE.
In addition to the conditions discussed above, there is no need to pay corporate tax on capital gains, and dividends in the UAE which can effectively boost business growth and improve the company’s structure.
In the upcoming years, the UAE’s corporate tax and its administrative corporate tax and its compliance framework will be the topic of discussion. The global economy is expected to watch this closely and will include UAE’s corporate tax rate in its future calculations. Although it is indicated that UAE’s corporate tax will be among the lowest taxes in the world, but still getting over from the old tax regime will take time.
Furthermore, the introduction of a new tax regime will widely influence almost every domain of a business including prices, marketing, accounting procedures, documentation, IT and infrastructure.
Therefore, both onshore and offshore companies will need to closely monitor their transactions and ensure that they meet all the corporate tax requirements.
An efficient and structured before-time planning of corporate tax will be important for all the businesses operating in the UAE.
Most of the onshore and offshore companies in the UAE have started to prepare themselves for corporate tax assessments. Preparing early for corporate tax implementation can save companies from higher costs and will save the internal team from last-minute pressures.
