UAE Corporate Tax

In simple words, Corporate Tax refers to a part of company’s net profits paid to the revenue authority of the country in which an entity conducts business. However, that net profit is first converted into taxable net profit through certain tax adjustments as prescribed in the legislation. In most of the jurisdictions of the world, a progressive taxation system works where different slabs of income are subject to different Corporate Tax rates.
