The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has clarified the criteria for\ndetermining Non-Residents subject to Corporate Tax in the UAE; the instances\nthat require registration of a Non-Resident for Corporate Tax purposes; Taxable\nIncome and how it is calculated; as well as other requirements for compliance\nby Non-Residents subject to the Corporate Tax Law, which took effect on 1 June\n2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FTA included a comprehensive and simplified explanation, along with\ngeneral guidance in its guide, for Non-Resident Persons, whether natural persons\n(individuals) or juridical persons (including public and private corporations) who\nderive income in the UAE, to help them determine whether they are subject to\nCorporate Tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a press release issued today, the FTA invited all Non-Resident Persons concerned, who derive income in the UAE, or those who conduct Business or part of their Business in the UAE to consult the new guidelines and refer to the Corporate Tax Law and relevant implementing Decisions as well as any other guides published on the FTA website: https:\/\/tax.gov.ae\/en\/ <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FTA emphasised the importance of reading the manual in its entirety\nto gain a clear understanding of its content, definitions, and interactions between\nits comprehensive rules. The manual includes numerous simplified practical\nexamples to clarify how the key elements of the Corporate Tax system apply to\nNon-Resident natural and juridical persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the guide, a Non-Resident Person is subject to Corporate\nTax in specific cases, two of which apply to a natural person. The first case\nis where a natural person has a Permanent Establishment in the UAE and has a Turnover\nattributable to their Permanent Establishment that exceeds one million dirhams\n(AED 1,000,000) during a given calendar year. The second case is where they derive\nState-Sourced Income (income accruing in, or derived from the UAE according to\nthe Corporate Tax Law).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guide clarified that, a juridical person that is incorporated or\nformed outside the UAE and not effectively managed and controlled in the UAE is\nsubject to Corporate Tax in three cases. Firstly, a juridical person is subject\nto Corporate Tax if they have a Permanent Establishment in the UAE, which any fixed place of Business or any other form\nof presence in the UAE. Secondly, a juridical person is subject to Corporate\nTax if they derive State-Sourced Income (income accruing in or derived from the\nUAE according to the Corporate Tax Law). Thirdly, a juridical person is subject\nto Corporate Tax if they have a nexus in the UAE, meaning if they earn income\nfrom Immovable Property in the UAE, such as a plot of land, a building,\nfixtures, or equipment that constitute a permanent part of the land or is\npermanently attached to a building or structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this guide, the FTA stated that Non-Resident Persons that are\njuridical person are required to register for Corporate Tax purposes and obtain\na Tax Registration Number (TRN) where they are subject to Corporate Tax due to\nhaving a Permanent Establishment, or a nexus in the UAE; i.e. meaning if they derive\nincome from Immovable Property in the UAE, to avoid any compliance delays that\nmay result in administrative penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, the guide clarified that Corporate Tax registration is not\nrequired for Non-Resident juridical persons who derive only State-Sourced Income\nand have neither a Permanent Establishment in the UAE nor a nexus in the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, a Non-Resident natural person is required to register for\nCorporate Tax purposes and obtain a TRN if they have a Turnover attributable to\ntheir Permanent Establishment in the UAE that exceeds AED 1,000,000 within a\ncalendar year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
