The new corporate tax in the UAE might seem confusing, but don’t worry! This blog will explain the difference between your company’s regular profits and the profits used to calculate your tax bill.
Your Regular Profits (Easy Money!)
Think of your company’s regular profits like the money you have left after paying all your bills. This is the money you use to grow your business, pay salaries, and maybe even buy some fancy office chairs (we all deserve a treat!). These profits are calculated based on standard accounting rules.
Taxable Profits (Taxman Time)
Taxable profits are like your regular profits, but with a twist! The government might add back some expenses you claimed on your regular statements, or remove some income you earned that isn’t taxed. In the end, this number is used to figure out how much tax your business owes.
The Key Takeaway
There are two types of profits to remember:
- Regular Profits: This is your overall company health.
- Taxable Profits: This is what the government uses to calculate your tax bill.
Bonus Tip!
The UAE offers a 0% tax rate on profits under AED 375,000! That’s a sweet deal for many businesses.
