WhatsApp quoteGetting Corporate Tax Registration right at the start avoids penalties that are easy to trigger and tedious to appeal. Importantly, corporate Tax Registration is registering for UAE corporate tax at 9% on profits above AED 375,000, and it applies to every UAE company, including free zone and mainland entities, must register even if it qualifies for the 0% rate. In short, the most common businesses Danes open through GoldenKey are in logistics, pharmaceuticals, wind energy and design, although Corporate Tax Registration supports almost any activity. As a rule, danish shipping and logistics groups are major operators at Jebel Ali and across the Gulf, which gives Danish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Corporate Tax Registration licence is issued.
