Corporate Tax
Corporate Tax Guide for Setting Up a Business in Dubai
Corporate tax is a direct tax applied to the profits of businesses. For entrepreneurs and companies operating in the UAE, understanding corporate tax regulations is crucial for maintaining compliance and financial stability. At Visa Pass DXB, we provide expert corporate tax services, ensuring businesses stay compliant while maximizing financial efficiency.
Understanding CorporateTax in the UAE
The UAE has traditionally been known for its business-friendly tax environment, with minimal corporate and personal taxes. However, as of June 1, 2023, the UAE Ministry of Finance introduced a federal corporate tax system to support national growth in infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
A common misconception is that this change is negative, but in reality, it strengthens the UAE’s economy and enhances investment opportunities.
