UAE Small Business Relief Runs Through December 2029
Eligible RAK operators gain more runway on the relief period, but the extension does not remove corporate-tax filing or record-keeping duties.
Regulation Radar
Eligible UAE small businesses, including qualifying RAK operators, can use Small Business Relief through December 31, 2029, after the announced extension from the prior December 2026 end date. The National reported the change on August 7, 2026. Relief is not an exemption from filing.
What changed
- The prior end date was December 31, 2026.
- The new end date is December 31, 2029.
- The extension is a UAE corporate-tax measure, not a RAKTDA permit change.
