UAE’s FTA sets criteria for corporate tax eligibility

The guide seeks to provide a transparent and simplified explanation of the Corporate Tax Law for natural individuals who earn in the UAE through businesses.

The UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) released a comprehensive guide delineating criteria for individuals subject to corporate tax, a measure implemented earlier this year. 

The guide establishes parameters to ascertain the eligibility of natural persons falling within the purview of corporate tax obligations.

Key Guidelines:

As per the newly unveiled guide, individuals generating an annual income exceeding AED 1 million through business activities are required to register for corporate tax. 

The stipulated threshold serves as a benchmark to determine the applicability of corporate tax obligations to such entities.

FTA’s Encouragement and Directives:

The FTA emphasized the importance of compliance, urging individuals with business establishments, whether wholly or partially owned, within the UAE to acquaint themselves with the comprehensive guide delineating the updated corporate tax regulations. 

The guide serves as a vital resource, offering essential insights into the compliance requirements and obligations under the new corporate tax law.

The FTA’s initiative aims to ensure transparency and adherence to tax obligations, empowering businesses and individuals to navigate the corporate tax landscape effectively while fostering a culture of regulatory compliance in the UAE.
