How is corporate tax calculated in UAE?

Corporate tax in UAE is calculated at 9% of the net profit shown in the company’s financial statements after deducting all applicable deductions and excluding the exempted income. Any foreign taxes paid will also be allowed for reduction from the profit shown in the financial statement.

The net profit derived after all deductions will be considered as taxable income. The 9 % corporate tax will be levied only if the taxable value exceeds AED 375,000.
