The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) in the UAE reported a significant increase in corporate tax revenues, jumping by nearly 34 percent to Dh46.5 billion ($12.7 billion) in 2025, according to a statement on Wednesday. This marks a substantial rise from Dh34.75 billion in the previous year and brings the cumulative total collected since the introduction of corporate tax in June 2023 to Dh81.27 billion.
The FTA's director general, Abdulaziz Al Mulla, attributed this growth to the efficiency of their operations and the continuous improvement of procedures and services. He highlighted a notable rise in timely compliance, with a 91 percent filing rate and a 97 percent on-time payment rate for corporate tax returns. The FTA's efforts to raise tax awareness and strengthen engagement with taxpayers were credited with enhancing compliance and facilitating the timely filing of tax returns and payments.
The introduction of corporate income tax is seen as a strategic move to broaden the UAE's revenue base and support its economic growth objectives, particularly as it diversifies beyond its reliance on oil.
