heading: What next November costs

text: What next November costs Expect renewal at 85–100% of year-one government lines.

heading: What the FTA expects

text: What the FTA expects The UAE position is a low-tax regime with real deadlines. In the context of Running Multi-Entity UAE Structures, corporate Tax registration is universal and deadline-driven; the 9% rate bites above AED 375,000 profit unless Small Business Relief (revenue ≤ AED 3M, through 2026) or QFZP treatment applies.

heading: Where founders overspend

text: Where founders overspend Where The UAE for Location-Independent Founders is concerned, premium addresses bought before revenue, visa quotas sized for a headcount that doesn't exist yet, and activity lists padded 'just in case' — these are the classic year-one leaks. Buy the structure your next twelve months need. For The UAE for Location-Independent Founders, the same rule holds: everything in the UAE upgrades easily; almost nothing refunds.


heading: The numbers that actually move

text: The numbers that actually move Licence headlines cluster tightly; totals do not.

heading: Where founders underspend

text: Where founders underspend In the context of The UAE for Location-Independent Founders, skipping attestation until a deadline, running books in spreadsheets until an audit demand, and treating the MOA as boilerplate — each saves hundreds now and costs thousands later.

heading: What changes in 2026

text: What changes in 2026 Where The UAE for Location-Independent Founders is concerned, corporate Tax has matured from registration drama into filing routine; free zone entities are learning what QFZP substance really demands; and e-invoicing is on the horizon for VAT-registered businesses.
