The United Arab Emirates (UAE) introduced Corporate Tax (CT) as part of its ongoing commitment to meeting with international tax standards for tax transparency and preventing harmful tax practices.
A competitive CT regime based on international best practices is expected to cement the UAE’s position as a leading global hub for business and investment and accelerate the UAE’s development and transformation to achieve its strategic objectives.
The UAE Corporate Tax Law was officially announced through Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses, which came into effect on June 1, 2023, marking a significant step in the country’s tax reforms.
