Legal 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.

Legal persons could be classified as follows on the basis of the tax residential status;

01 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.

In short it means all the companies registered in UAE as well as other companies which are managed from UAE thought they are not registered or incorporated in UAE. 

02 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​
