You may be able to elect Small Business Relief: with revenue of AED 3,000,000 or less, a resident business can be treated as having no taxable income, so 0% applies for the period. Available for tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026.

How it works. Under Article 3, Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, the rate is 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on the excess. It is a band, not a cliff: crossing AED 375,000 taxes only the part above the line. Small Business Relief sits under Article 21 and Ministerial Decision No. 73 of 2023, and turns on revenue of AED 3,000,000 or less, a different figure from the AED 375,000 income threshold.
