Who Must Register for Corporate Tax?
Registration applies broadly across UAE business structures, not only large companies.
- Juridical persons: LLCs, PJSCs, and other incorporated entities, including free zone entities, must register regardless of whether they ultimately owe tax.
- Natural persons: individuals conducting business or business activities must register once their turnover exceeds AED 1 million in a calendar year. Salary income, private investment income, and real estate investment income are excluded from this calculation.
- Civil companies: must register even where their income falls below the AED 375,000 taxable threshold.
- Certain exempt persons: the FTA may still require some exempt entities to register, even though they aren’t ultimately liable for tax.
Corporate Tax Registration Deadlines
New entities incorporated in the UAE must generally register within three months of incorporation. Existing businesses that were already operating when Corporate Tax was introduced were assigned deadlines by the FTA based on their licence issuance date under FTA Decision No. 3 of 2024, and most of these initial deadlines have now passed.
For natural persons, registration is generally required by 31 March of the year following the calendar year in which their business turnover exceeded the AED 1 million threshold. Businesses should confirm their specific applicable deadline directly, since the correct date depends on entity type, incorporation date, and licensing history.
Documents Required for Corporate Tax Registration
- Valid trade licence
- Memorandum and Articles of Association
- Emirates ID and passport copies of owners, partners, or shareholders
- Contact details, including complete address and P.O. Box
- Details of business activities
- Financial statements or supporting financial data, where applicable
Our Corporate Tax Registration Process
- Eligibility assessment: we confirm whether your business is required to register and identify the applicable deadline.
- Document preparation: we gather and review the trade licence, ownership documents, and supporting financial data required for the application.
- EmaraTax application: we complete and submit your registration application through the FTA’s EmaraTax portal.
- TRN issuance and confirmation: once approved, we confirm your Tax Registration Number and advise on your ongoing filing obligations.
Penalties for Late Registration
Failure to register for Corporate Tax within the required deadline attracts a fixed penalty of AED 10,000, regardless of whether the business ultimately owes any tax. This penalty applies uniformly across entity types, including civil companies with income below the standard taxable threshold. Registering promptly, even where no tax is expected to be due, is the simplest way to avoid this exposure entirely.
