How This Tool Reaches Its Result
The assistant checks your annual revenue against the current AED 375,000 mandatory and AED 187,500 voluntary VAT registration thresholds, and your business type and revenue against Corporate Tax rules, including the AED 3,000,000 Small Business Relief threshold and the 0% rate available on qualifying free zone income.
Frequently Asked Questions
The VAT Calculator does straightforward math — adding or removing 5% VAT from a specific amount. This tool instead determines whether your business actually needs to register for VAT and/or Corporate Tax in the first place, and what rate is likely to apply, based on your turnover and business type.
No. This is a rule-based recommendation engine, not a live AI/LLM call — every result traces back to fixed thresholds published by the Federal Tax Authority, not invented independently. This keeps the tool fast, free, and consistent.
No. This is general educational guidance to help you understand your likely obligations before confirming with the Federal Tax Authority or a qualified tax advisor/accountant. Actual registration requirements and applicable rates depend on your complete financial picture, which this tool does not verify.
A relief allowing businesses with annual revenue under AED 3,000,000 to register for Corporate Tax without an active tax payment obligation, provided they meet the relief's specific conditions. This tool flags when you may be eligible based on your stated revenue, but final eligibility depends on additional conditions this tool doesn't check.
Free zone companies can benefit from a 0% Corporate Tax rate specifically on "qualifying income" if they meet conditions set by the Corporate Tax Law, separate from the small business relief threshold. Income that doesn't meet the qualifying criteria is still taxed at the standard 9% rate above the profit threshold.
