Foreign Tax Credits Under Uae Corporate Tax Regime | Spectrum Accounts

 



What is the Tax Credit that will be available for the corporate tax paid in other countries on the taxable income in UAE under the UAE Corporate Tax regime? Can we carry forward the unutilized Tax Credit to next year?

UAE resident companies will be subject to Corporate tax in Dubai on their worldwide income, which includes foreign sourced income that may have been subject to tax of a similar nature to CT by another country.

To avoid double taxation, the UAE CT regime will allow a credit for the tax paid in a foreign jurisdiction against the Corporate tax in Dubai liability on the foreign sourced income that has not been otherwise exempted. This is known as “Foreign Tax Credit”.

The maximum Foreign Tax Credit available will be the lower of:

  • The amount of tax that is paid in the foreign jurisdiction; or
  • The Corporate tax in UAE payable on the foreign sourced income.

Any unutilized Foreign Tax Credit will not be able to be carried forward or back to other tax periods, nor will the FTA refund any unutilized Foreign Tax Credit.
