WhatsApp quoteFor most clients, 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. The Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes Corporate Tax Registration a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting documents must match your licence exactly. Serbia and the UAE have strong investment ties, especially in agriculture, real estate and aviation, which gives Serbian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Corporate Tax Registration licence is issued. Just as important, payments between Serbia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Serbian dinar (RSD) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Serbian business profiles.
