This calculator is for general guidance only. It does not replace a professional tax computation, FTA filing review, or entity-specific corporate tax advice.
For most UAE businesses, the calculation starts with accounting profit, then adjusts that figure to arrive at taxable income for the tax period.
Estimated UAE Corporate Tax = 9% x taxable income above AED 375,000.
If taxable income is AED 375,000 or below, the basic estimate will usually show AED 0 tax. This does not automatically remove registration, record keeping, or filing obligations.
Taxable income is not always the same as bank balance, turnover, or invoice value. It is generally based on accounting net profit or loss after applying the required corporate tax adjustments.
This example shows how the AED 375,000 threshold works when taxable income is above the 0% band.
| Item | Amount | Tax treatment | Estimated tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taxable income | AED 500,000 | Total taxable income for the tax period | Not applicable |
| 0% band | AED 375,000 | Taxed at 0% | AED 0 |
| Taxable income above threshold | AED 125,000 | Taxed at 9% | AED 11,250 |
| Estimated corporate tax payable | AED 11,250 | 9% x AED 125,000 | AED 11,250 |
This page is designed for Dubai and UAE businesses that want a quick estimate before speaking to an accountant or tax consultant.
The calculator gives a useful estimate, but it does not make legal tax decisions for your business.

Having the right records makes the calculator result more useful and helps your accountant prepare a more accurate corporate tax position.
We check whether the accounting records are complete enough for corporate tax calculation.

We connect the calculation with registration, tax return filing, payment timing, and future compliance.
Corporate tax is not calculated simply on turnover. The taxable figure needs proper accounting and tax adjustments.
A zero estimate may still require registration, records, and return filing depending on the entity and tax period.
Free zone companies need careful review because QFZP treatment depends on conditions, qualifying income, and activity profile.
These answers are written for business owners who need clear, practical guidance before getting a formal tax review.
The UAE Corporate Tax Calculator is a practical estimate tool that helps business owners understand the possible corporate tax due on taxable profit. It applies the standard UAE corporate tax logic of 0% on the first AED 375,000 of taxable income and 9% on taxable income above that threshold. It is an estimate and should be reviewed by a qualified tax advisor before filing.
No. This calculator is provided by Zerosync Accountants as an educational estimate tool for businesses in Dubai and the UAE. Official tax positions, registration, filing, and payment must be completed through the relevant Federal Tax Authority and Ministry of Finance guidance.
For most taxable businesses, corporate tax is calculated by identifying taxable income for the tax period, applying 0% to the first AED 375,000, then applying 9% to the taxable income above AED 375,000. The practical formula is: Corporate Tax = 9% x (Taxable Income minus AED 375,000), where taxable income is above AED 375,000.
The AED 375,000 standard corporate tax threshold applies to taxable income, not total sales or revenue. A company can have high revenue but low taxable profit, or lower revenue with higher taxable profit, so the accounting records and tax adjustments matter.
In many cases, yes. A zero tax estimate does not automatically remove registration or filing obligations. UAE taxable persons, including many free zone persons, may still need to register, keep records, and file the corporate tax return within the required timeframe.
The general filing and payment deadline is within 9 months from the end of the relevant tax period. For example, a business with a tax period ending on 31 December usually has a filing and payment deadline of 30 September in the following year.
Small Business Relief may treat taxable income as nil for an eligible tax period when the business meets the official conditions, including the revenue threshold and election requirements. Eligibility must be checked carefully because not every business can elect the relief.
Yes, but free zone businesses should treat the result as a first estimate only. A Qualifying Free Zone Person may benefit from 0% on qualifying income, while non-qualifying income can be taxed differently. A QFZP review is recommended before relying on any estimate.
No. Corporate tax and VAT are separate UAE tax obligations. A company may need to comply with both depending on its business activity, VAT registration position, revenue, taxable income, and filing requirements.
Useful records include financial statements, trial balance, general ledger, sales records, expense records, bank reconciliations, asset schedules, related party details, tax registration information, and supporting documents for any exemptions, reliefs, or adjustments.
If taxable income is AED 500,000, the first AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%. The remaining AED 125,000 is taxed at 9%, which gives estimated corporate tax of AED 11,250.
No. The calculator is designed for a simple estimate. It does not automatically account for all exempt income, non-deductible expenses, transfer pricing adjustments, tax losses, foreign tax credits, interest limitation rules, free zone conditions, or large multinational top-up tax rules.
Send your estimate to Zerosync Accountants and our Dubai corporate tax team will help you review the calculation, records, deadline, and filing position.
