Omar (Founder)Our revenue just passed AED 375,000. Do we need to register for VAT now?
Midday accountantYes: registration is mandatory within 30 days of crossing the threshold over 12 months. We've started your FTA application on EmaraTax.
We're a free zone company. Do we still pay the 9% corporate tax?
M
Midday accountant
Not necessarily. If your company is a Qualifying Free Zone Person, its qualifying income is taxed at 0%. We'll confirm your status and prepare the return either way.
