Small Business Relief for UAE Corporate Tax
If your business revenue is AED 3 million or less, you may be able to pay no Corporate Tax through Small Business Relief. It isn’t automatic, though: you still register, file a return and actively elect it. Fintra Global checks whether you qualify, keeps the records the FTA expects and makes the election in your return, for small businesses in Dubai and across the UAE.
