Federal Tax Authority
Federal Decree-Law No. 28 of 2025 Amending the Corporate Tax Law (Tax Credits and Incentives)
Amends the Corporate Tax Law to create a legislative framework allowing certain tax credits/incentives (e.g. the subsequently-introduced R&D tax credit — see FTA-2026-006) to be refundable rather than only offsettable against tax liability; further scope and eligibility to be defined via Cabinet Decisions/executive regulations.
