How the calculator works

Enter your annual turnover and business expenses, then tell us whether you are a mainland or free zone company, your legal form and your main activity. The calculator takes turnover minus expenses as your net profit and treats that as your taxable profit. It then shows how much of that profit falls in each corporate tax band, the estimated tax, and whether Small Business Relief is likely to be open to you. Before the results appear we ask for your name, email and phone number so a TaxBox adviser can follow up if you want help.

The 9% rate and the AED 375,000 threshold

UAE corporate tax charges 0% on the first AED 375,000 of taxable income and 9% on taxable income above that. The threshold is a band, not an exemption limit. A company with AED 500,000 of taxable income pays 0% on the first AED 375,000 and 9% on the remaining AED 125,000, which is AED 11,250. A company still has to register and file a return even if all of its income falls in the 0% band. An individual running a business only comes within corporate tax once turnover exceeds AED 1 million in a calendar year, and the calculator reflects that.

Small Business Relief

Resident businesses with revenue of AED 3 million or less in the current tax period and every previous one can elect Small Business Relief for tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029. If you elect it, your taxable income for that period is treated as nil, but you still file a return and you give up carrying forward losses from that period. Qualifying Free Zone Persons cannot elect it, which is why the calculator marks free zone results as needing review.

Your result is an estimate

Results are an estimate, not a tax return. Actual taxable income starts from your accounting profit and is then adjusted, for example for non-deductible expenses, exempt income, related-party transactions and losses brought forward. Use the figure for planning and for setting money aside, and have your return prepared from your financial statements. If you want that done for you, see our corporate tax filing service.
