Dubai: UAE Corporate Tax Registration

Businesses in Dubai, including local companies, foreign entities, and branches, must register for Corporate Tax if they meet the required criteria. ​

Legal Person​​ (Juridical Person): ​

A legal person refers to an entity incorporated or otherwise established or recognized under the laws and regulations of the UAE, or under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, that has a legal personality separate from its founders, owners and directors. Separate legal personality means that the entity has its own rights, obligations and liabilities distinct from its founders or owners.

Resident ​Legal Person​​ 

​A legal person is a Resident Person for the purposes of Corporate Tax in UAE if it is ​incorporated or otherwise established or recognized in the UAE (this includes juridical persons incorporated, established or otherwise registered in Free Zones) or ​incorporated or otherwise established or recognized outside the UAE but is effectively managed and controlled in the UAE.

Non Resident ​Legal Person​​ 

A foreign legal person that operates in the UAE through a Permanent Establishment or that has a taxable nexus in the UAE would also be subject to Corporate Tax​

​Examples of the Legal Person

​Legal Persons (Juridical Persons) that are incorporated or otherwise established or recognized in the UAE that have been established under the UAE mainland legislation, and other entity forms that have a separate legal personality under the applicable UAE mainland legislation or Free Zone regulations are and include as follows; 
  • Joint Liability Companies, Limited Partnership Companies, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Public Joint Stock Companies (PJSCs), Private Joint Stock Companies (PJSCs), Foundations, Trusts, ​
Note : ​UAE branches of a domestic or foreign juridical person are regarded as an extension of their head office and, therefore, are not considered separate juridical persons
