UAE businesses are increasingly operating across more than one activity, from technology and e-commerce to consulting, logistics and digital media.

In some cases, multiple business activities can be combined under a single UAE licence. But whether that structure works depends on factors such as:
▪️ The activities you want to combine
▪️ Mainland or Free Zone jurisdiction
▪️ Licensing authority requirements
▪️ Additional approvals for regulated activities
▪️ Corporate Tax treatment of each revenue stream

A multi-activity structure can reduce the need for separate entities, but choosing incompatible activity codes or the wrong jurisdiction can create licensing and compliance issues later.
KGRN can help assess the right business structure, licence and tax implications before you set up or expand your UAE operations.

26/08/2026

From 1 January 2026, new UAE tax rules introduced a five-year limitation period affecting the recovery of excess refundable VAT.

Under Federal Decree-Law No. 16 of 2025, requests to reclaim excess refundable VAT must generally be made within the applicable five-year period after reconciliation. Once the limitation period expires, the right to reclaim the amount can expire.

There is also transitional relief under the amended Tax Procedures Law for certain older credit balances. Where the relevant five-year period had already expired before 1 January 2026, or expires within one year from that date, eligible taxpayers have a transitional window to submit their refund request.

If your business has been carrying forward significant VAT credits instead of requesting a refund, 2026 is the right time to review those balances and identify any approaching deadlines.

Offshore banks are becoming more cautious about issuing or renewing credit cards for some wealthy Indian residents, putting India’s 180-day overseas funds rule back in focus.

But for UAE-based NRIs, the key question is different:

What is your residency status under FEMA, and where did the funds come from?

UAE salary, business income and savings are not treated the same way as funds remitted from India under LRS.

UAE NRIs should still pay attention when dealing with:
▪️ LRS remittances from India
▪️ Unutilised overseas investment funds
▪️ NRO repatriations
▪️ A return to Indian FEMA residency
▪️ LRS transactions involving resident minor children

The important distinction is not your passport. It is your FEMA residency status, source of funds and purpose of remittance.
Unsure how the rules apply to your India-UAE finances?

Foreign businesses that incurred eligible UAE VAT in 2025 may still be able to recover it through the FTA’s Business Visitor Refund Scheme.

The 2026 application window closes on 31 August 2026.

To qualify, the business must generally be established outside the UAE, not be a UAE taxable person, and be based in a country that offers reciprocal VAT refunds to UAE businesses. The minimum refund claim is AED 2,000, subject to the applicable conditions and supporting documentation.

If your business had eligible UAE VAT expenses in 2025, review your position before the deadline.

The FTA has issued Decision No. 12 of 2026, providing clarity on the registration, deregistration and notification requirements for entities subject to the UAE Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT).

Registration: In-scope entities must register within 7 months from the end of the first Fiscal Year in which they fall in scope. For entities with a Fiscal Year ending before 30 April 2026, the transitional registration deadline is 30 November 2026.

Deregistration: An entity must apply within 6 months from the earlier of its cessation or the end of the Fiscal Year in which it leaves an MNE Group and is no longer in scope. For entities ceasing to exist before 30 June 2026, the transitional deadline is 31 December 2026. Deregistration is also subject to settlement of Top-up Tax and penalties and filing of the required Top-up Tax and Pillar Two Information Returns.

Scope notifications: An out-of-scope notification must be submitted within 6 months from the end of the Fiscal Year in which the MNE Group falls out of scope. It remains valid for that Fiscal Year and the following four Fiscal Years. If the group comes back in scope during that period, an in-scope notification must be submitted within 7 months from the end of the relevant Fiscal Year.
Where a Domestic Designated Filing Entity (DDFE) is appointed, it can perform these compliance requirements on behalf of the relevant group members.

With the 30 November 2026 transitional registration deadline approaching, in-scope MNE Groups should review their UAE entities, confirm their scope status and prepare their DMTT compliance processes.

UAE Corporate Tax is now an important consideration in business valuations, particularly where valuation models rely on future cash flows.

Tax assumptions can affect projected post-tax cash flows and, ultimately, value. These may include the standard Corporate Tax regime, Small Business Relief eligibility, and the treatment of Qualifying and non-Qualifying Income for Free Zone businesses.

For most taxable businesses, Corporate Tax is 0% on Taxable Income up to AED 375,000 and 9% on the portion above that threshold. Qualifying Free Zone Persons may be subject to 0% on Qualifying Income and 9% on Taxable Income that is not Qualifying Income.

Whether the valuation is for M&A, investor due diligence, succession planning or a dispute, tax assumptions should reflect the business’s actual Corporate Tax position.

KGRN’s valuation team incorporates relevant UAE Corporate Tax considerations into valuation engagements.

Small Business Relief is one of the most misunderstood parts of UAE Corporate Tax businesses assuming qualifying is the same as receiving it. It isn't. It has to be elected on the return itself every tax period, and a business that meets the threshold but forgets to elect it is assessed on its actual income anyway.
