Accounting, Reporting & Statutory Compliance
in United Arab Emirates

How Accounting, Reporting & Statutory Compliance changes in United Arab Emirates, using verified Market 360 evidence and local professional execution.

WHAT CHANGES IN THIS JURISDICTION

Sourced regulatory facts and WONE business implications.

Cross-border decisions cannot rely on generic templates. Statutory and tax rules must be verified locally.

SOURCE FACT · Federal Tax Authority (FTA) (Active 2026)

Federal Corporate Tax at 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000 under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZP) benefit from 0% Corporate Tax on Qualifying Income subject to maintaining adequate substance and de minimis requirements. Global minimum tax (Pillar Two) rules apply to MNEs with €750m+ revenue.
