UAE Tax

UAE Corporate Tax Course for Kerala Accountants: CT 2023 Compliance Training

UAE Federal Corporate Tax — effective for financial years starting June 2023 — is the most significant change to Gulf accounting in a generation, and most Kerala accountants have not yet been formally trained on it.

What UAE Corporate Tax means for accountants

The UAE CT regime applies a 9% tax on taxable income above AED 375,000. Certain entities are exempt (government bodies, qualifying public benefit organisations, qualifying investment funds). Free zone entities face a 0% rate on qualifying income under specific conditions. Every accountant working for a UAE company needs to understand these rules — and employers are actively looking for finance staff who do.

What the course covers on UAE CT

ed·nations' GCC Accounting program dedicates specific modules to UAE Corporate Tax: registration obligations, determining taxable income, allowable and non-allowable deductions, transfer pricing basics, small business relief (taxable income under AED 3 million), and filing through the FTA portal. Case studies cover mainland vs free zone scenarios — the most commonly misunderstood area.

Who needs this training

Accounting professionals already working in the UAE who have been managing accounts without formal CT training. Also critical for Kerala-based accountants preparing for Gulf roles — CT knowledge is now frequently tested in UAE accounting interviews.
