E-commerce sellers based in the UAE now sit inside a real tax regime: 9% Corporate Tax above AED 375,000, 5% VAT once you cross the registration threshold, and — if you're in a free zone — the qualifying-income test that decides whether you keep 0%. Cross-border sales, marketplace fees and imports add VAT complexity. Next Tax Source keeps your books IFRS-ready, files your VAT and Corporate Tax, and confirms your free-zone status, all signed by an FTA-registered tax agent.

What We Handle

Questions People Ask

Do UAE e-commerce sellers pay Corporate Tax?
Yes — UAE businesses pay 9% on taxable profit above AED 375,000, e-commerce included. Free-zone sellers may keep 0% on qualifying income, but online retail to UAE mainland customers is often non-qualifying, so the analysis matters.
When do I register for VAT as an online seller?
When your taxable supplies pass AED 375,000 in a rolling 12 months (voluntary from AED 187,500). Imports and cross-border digital sales add reverse-charge and place-of-supply rules we handle for you.
Does my free zone keep me at 0%?
Only if your income is qualifying and you meet substance and de-minimis tests. Selling to UAE mainland consumers is frequently excluded, which can tip a free-zone e-commerce business to 9%. We assess it precisely.
Can you reconcile my Amazon.ae and Noon payouts?
Yes — we tie marketplace fees, refunds and payouts to your books and VAT records so your returns are accurate and defensible.
