Support and Communication with the FTA
With the introduction of Corporate Tax (CT) in the UAE, businesses must ensure compliance by registering with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Proper registration is the first step to avoiding penalties and ensuring smooth tax operations under the Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022.
Who Must Register for Corporate Tax?
All taxable persons, including Free Zone entities, are required to register for Corporate Tax and obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN). Even businesses and organizations exempt from Corporate Tax must complete the registration process unless specifically exempted by the FTA.
Key Tax Rates and Deadlines
- Standard Corporate Tax Rate: 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000.
- Taxable income up to AED 375,000: 0% (incentive for startups and small businesses).
For example, a company with a fiscal year ending in December 2024 must file its first Corporate Tax return by September 30, 2025.
Key Tax Rates and Deadlines
Businesses must complete their Corporate Tax registration within three months from the date they become liable to register.
Failure to register within this timeframe results in a penalty of AED 10,000, as imposed by the FTA.
Timely registration is crucial to avoid financial penalties and ensure full compliance with UAE tax regulations.
