Family Foundations and Corporate Tax in the UAE: Simplified Application Process via EmaraTax

As part of its broader strategy to modernize the tax framework and enhance regulatory efficiency, the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) launched a new digital process in March 2025. This initiative allows qualifying family foundations to apply for a special tax classification via the EmaraTax platform, enabling them to be treated as Unincorporated Partnerships (UIPs) under the UAE Corporate Tax regime. The measure is underpinned by Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 and Ministerial Decision No. 261 of 2024, which supersedes previous guidance from 2023. Find out more CLICK HERE.
