Tax Applicability for Specific Entities

Free Zone Businesses

Free Zone companies can maintain a 0% tax rate on "Qualifying Income." However, a 9% rate applies to any income generated from mainland transactions or other non-qualifying activities. All Free Zone entities must register and file a tax return, regardless of their tax liability.

Freelancers

Freelancers with a business license are considered legal entities for tax purposes. You are subject to a 9% corporate tax, but only on profits that exceed the AED 375,000 threshold. Earnings below this amount remain 0% taxed, supporting independent professionals.
