Why This Matters for Your Business

Corporate Tax is now mandatory in the UAE for eligible businesses. Delaying registration can result in:

• AED 10,000+ in late registration penalties

• Risk of additional compliance fines

• Blocks on government clearances or business growth

• Loss of trust with partners, vendors, and customers

How the Corporate Tax Relief Works

• The FTA has announced a one-time opportunity to waive late registration penalties for businesses who missed the deadline.

• If you’ve already paid a fine, there’s also a process to apply for a refund.

• This relief is time-limited and subject to specific criteria we help you qualify and apply successfully.

Time is Running Out

This isn’t a permanent offer. The FTA can withdraw the relief window any time.

• Don’t wait until the penalties increase

• Don’t lose money that could be saved

Frequently asked questions

Q1: What if I don’t register for corporate tax at all?

You may face a minimum fine of AED 10,000 and ongoing penalties. The FTA is actively identifying unregistered businesses.

Q2: Can I still file for tax if I missed the deadline?

Yes and we’ll help you do it while applying for relief on late penalties.

Q3: I paid a fine. Is a refund guaranteed?

Refunds are not guaranteed but are possible. We assess your eligibility and file the refund application with supporting documents.

Q4: My business is small. Do I still need to register?

If your revenue exceeds AED 375,000/year, registration is mandatory. If you’re under this threshold, you may still benefit from voluntary registration.

Q5: What documents are required for corporate tax registration?

You’ll need your trade license, Emirates ID/passport, financial records and company details. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it all.

Q6: What if my company is in a Free Zone? Do I still need to register for Corporate Tax?

Yes, in most cases. While some Free Zone businesses may qualify for a 0% corporate tax rate under specific conditions, registration is still mandatory. The FTA requires all qualifying Free Zone companies to register even if they expect to pay 0%. We’ll review your business activity and guide you through the correct process.
