One federal tax system
The standard UAE corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, and the standard VAT rate is 5%. These rules are federal, so they are the same in Fujairah as in every other emirate.
What changes by emirate is licensing, premises, fees and logistics. We check current Federal Tax Authority guidance and the local authority's requirements for your case.
