Now all the companies (legal entities) in the UAE must register for Tax with FTA and file their tax returns regularly and do proper accounting as per IFRS. Does it apply to all the UAE business license holders, including free zones, freelancers also?

Hello Atif_Dubai_Guide,

Welcome to Expat.com 😀

For the most accurate and up-to-date information on Corporate Tax in the UAE, it is best to contact the FTA directly.

You can also consult a local tax advisor familiar with UAE tax regulations, including rules for free zone companies and freelancers. They can clarify exactly what applies to your specific type of license and business.

You can find tax advisors in the United Arab Emirates through our business directory.

All the best,

Cheryl
