Futureproofing Through Proactive Guidance

Corporate Tax is the financial obligation a corporation incurs on its profits within a fiscal year. In the UAE, including the DIFC Free Zone, corporate tax is calculated based on taxable income, derived by subtracting total expenses from total revenues. Expenses include costs of goods sold, operating expenses, R&D, marketing, administrative costs, and depreciation. The DIFC Free Zone benefits from the UAE Corporate Tax Law, which offers a 0% Corporate Tax rate to eligible companies and branches, crucial for promoting growth and economic activity. MS specializes in providing tailored corporate tax services for DIFC entities, including tax assessment, registration, filing, compliance, and strategic advisory. We ensure that your tax obligations are managed efficiently and in alignment with UAE regulations, leveraging the 0% tax regime to support your business success in the DIFC.
