UAE Corporate Tax Begins on June 1

 

Corporate Tax will be implemented from on June 1, 2023. This tax will apply to businesses if their annual turnover exceeds AED 1 million. Even though it affects resident and non-resident individuals who are engaged in business activities, personal income, such as employment paychecks, investments, and real estate income (without licensing requirements) remains exempt from Corporate Tax.

 

Navigating M&A transactions & restructurings

 

Corporate tax and its impact

 

Understanding the target company’s tax residency is essential for calculating the tax ramifications of share deals in M&A transactions. Buyers must evaluate the target company’s or assets’ tax situation while considering possible restructuring into account to maximize tax savings. This could entail moving assets, like as intellectual property, to tax-friendly countries. Under the new corporate tax structure, restructurings such as mergers and spin-offs may potentially result in tax liabilities. Companies must assess the tax ramifications of any reorganization and make sure that they are in conformity with the new tax legislation. To reduce the risk of tax liabilities, equity or debt restructuring may be required.
