Ultimate Guide to UAE Corporate Tax Compliance Using Odoo Accounting

The UAE's introduction of a 9% corporate tax on profits exceeding AED 375,000 marks a significant shift in the business landscape. This new tax regime requires businesses in Dubai and across the UAE to adapt their financial management processes to ensure seamless compliance. Failing to do so can result in substantial penalties and hinder business growth. doo.Finance, with its expert fractional CFOs and in-depth Odoo expertise, can guide your business through this transition, ensuring you remain compliant while optimizing your tax strategy.

Understanding UAE Corporate Tax Requirements

The 9% corporate tax applies to taxable income above AED 375,000, with profits below this threshold remaining tax-free. Several exemptions exist, including those for certain free zone businesses and qualifying small businesses with revenues below AED 3 million (until December 31, 2026). Understanding these nuances is critical for successful tax planning. Filing deadlines are typically nine months after the end of the financial year, meaning businesses with a December 31 year-end must file by September 30, 2025. doo.Finance's fractional CFO services can help you navigate these complexities and ensure accurate and timely compliance.
