What is Interest Deduction Capping (Corporate Tax)?

A rule under UAE Corporate Tax that limits how much net interest expense a business can deduct in a tax period, designed to discourage excessive debt financing. The general limitation restricts the deduction by reference to a measure of earnings, with amounts above the cap potentially carried forward. A safe harbour may apply to smaller amounts. Confirm the limitation rules with the FTA.
