0% tax rate for taxable income up to Dh375,000 to support small business and startups
The Ministry of Finance of the UAE has announced that the UAE will introduce a corporate tax on business profits that will be effective starting June 1, 2023.
This new corporate tax regime has been designed to incorporate best practices globally and minimise the compliance burden on businesses.
Corporate tax will be payable by the companies on the profits as reported in their financial statements prepared in accordance with internationally acceptable accounting standards, with minimal exceptions and adjustments.
The corporate tax will apply to all businesses and commercial activities alike, except for the extraction of natural resources.
With a standard tax rate of 9% and a 0% tax rate for taxable profits up to Dh375,000 to support small businesses and startups.
Free zone businesses that comply with all regulatory requirements of the UAE and that do not conduct business with mainland UAE will still benefit from Tax Incentives.
The UAE will not impose withholding taxes on domestic and cross border payments, or subject foreign investors who do not carry on business in the UAE to corporate tax.
If you have setup an international headquarter in the UAE, the business will be exempt from paying tax on capital gains and dividends received from its qualifying shareholdings, and foreign taxes will be allowed to be credited against UAE corporate tax payable.
Businesses will only need to file one corporate tax return each financial year and will not be required to make advance tax payments or prepare provisional tax returns.

Our solution : Accounting as a Service (read more below)
As from August 2021, the Seychelles International Business Companies (IBC) Act was amended and introduced the following important requirements for the Seychelles IBCs.
Accounting Records
Bi-annual filing of accounting records to your registered office in Seychelles
As from February 6th 2022, each Seychelles IBC shall send updated accounting records to its registered office in Seychelles at least twice a year. In addition, existing accounting records relating to transactions or operations completed in the past seven (7) years up to December 31st 2021 must be kept in Seychelles by February 6th 2022. While the accounting records must be kept at the registered office in Seychelles, they are not required to be filed with the Registrar and are not open to public inspection.
Large companies & non-large non-holding companies – annual financial summary
The Amended Act includes the following new definitions:
(a) Large Company means a company that meets the annual turnover threshold specified for a “large business” under the Revenue Administration Act, namely Seychelles Rupees 50,000,000 (approx. US$3,000,000 a year as of August 2021); and
(b) Holding Company means a company with no trade or business operations of its own but holds interests in other companies or assets.
From February 6th 2022, large companies and non-holding companies must prepare an annual financial summary to be kept at their registered office in Seychelles within six (6) months from the end of the company’s financial year (section 175(1B) of the Act).
A discretionary penalty fee not exceeding US$10,000 will be imposed on companies and their directors for breaching the requirements relating to keeping accounting records.
