Not everyone in the UAE is required to file a corporate tax return. Certain legal entities and natural persons may qualify for exemptions in 2025. However, it is important to carefully assess your situation, because many individuals earning income from business or professional activities are subject to UAE corporate tax requirements.

For example, if you are a freelancer, influencer, or content creator working on marketing campaigns and generating income from these activities, you may fall under the scope of UAE corporate tax. This means you are required to:

• Register for corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA),
• Monitor and track your revenue and expenses, and
• File your tax return each year.

In addition, if your annual business income reaches AED 375,000 or more, you are also required to register for VAT and submit VAT returns accordingly.

The rules can seem complex, and exemptions only apply in specific cases.To avoid unnecessary penalties, it is best to check your eligibility with a tax advisor in Dubai.
