UAE corporate tax applies at 0% on taxable profits up to AED 375,000, and 9% above that threshold (with a separate rate for certain large multinationals). Most businesses mainland and free zone alike must register with the Federal Tax Authority and file annual returns, even where no tax is ultimately due. VAT, where applicable, is charged at a standard 5%, with VAT filing in the UAE typically required on a quarterly basis.
