    阿聯酋稅務與合規:創辦人真正需要知道的事

    阿聯酋的稅務環境已發生重大變化。自 2018 年起實施 VAT,自 2023 年起實施企業稅。了解您的義務——並從一開始就為它們做計劃——可以避免代價高昂的錯誤和意外。

    稅務與合規一覽

    阿聯酋企業面臨兩種主要稅收:VAT(對大多數供應品徵收 5%,超過 375,000 AED 必須註冊)和企業稅(對利潤超過 375,000 AED 的部分徵收 9%)。自由區企業的合格收入可能符合 0% 的企業稅率,但這需要真實的實質和合規性。除了稅收,年度合規還包括許可證續期、簽證管理、UBO 申報和 ESR 報告。

    適用對象: 正在或已經在阿聯酋經營業務的創辦人。

    主要注意事項: 稅務規則會演變。本指南反映截至 2026 年 2 月的情況。請務必與 FTA 或合格的稅務顧問核實。

    稅務指南

    VAT

    UAE VAT is charged at 5% on most goods and services. Registration is mandatory once your taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months (or are expected to in the next 30 days). Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500. Free zone businesses may qualify for a 0% rate on certain supplies, but only if they meet specific 'Designated Zone' conditions — this is not automatic and must be verified. [R1][R2]

    Standard rate: 5%Mandatory registration: AED 375,000Voluntary registration: AED 187,500

    Corporate Tax

    UAE Corporate Tax (CT) applies at 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. Free zone entities can qualify for a 0% rate on 'Qualifying Income' — but only if they meet substance requirements, maintain adequate records, and their income qualifies under the rules. This is not automatic and requires careful structuring. The first tax period for most businesses started on or after 1 June 2023. [R1][R2]
