What is Corporate Tax Registration?
Corporate tax registration is the process that the company goes through to register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) for corporate profits taxes. From June 2023, all companies that are making revenues in the UAE and have the appropriate tax income threshold are supposed to have their registration processed. The corporate tax rate in the UAE is set at 9%, an exemption plan that calls for companies earning below a certain income threshold, which often is a small and medium-sized enterprise.
Who is Required to Register for Corporate Tax?
Under UAE law, businesses must register for corporate tax if they meet the following criteria:
- Resident Companies All entities that are established in the UAE or operate businesses in the UAE are obliged to register for corporate tax only if their income exceeds the tax amount applicable.
- Foreign Companies Foreign entities that have a stable establishment in the UAE or get income from the UAE also, need to satisfy corporate tax registration requirements from which that country enforces.
- Free Zone Entities Companies that function in free zones in the UAE and earn money on the UAE mainland may require to be registered according to their tax agreements and operations.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
01Do I need to register for corporate tax in the UAE?
Yes, every business operating in the UAE is required to register for corporate tax, even if its taxable income falls below the threshold that attracts tax. Corporate tax is charged at 0 per cent on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9 per cent above that. Whether the 0 per cent rate applies to your business depends on its income level and structure.
02How much does corporate tax registration cost?
There is no fixed published fee for corporate tax registration, since the work depends on the entity's legal structure, licence type and the documentation available. Pricing is quoted after a proposal following an initial assessment of eligibility and requirements. Bookkeeping support, if needed alongside registration, starts at AED 599 per month for up to 50 transactions.
03What is the deadline to register for corporate tax in the UAE?
The Federal Tax Authority sets registration deadlines based on when a licence was issued, and these vary by entity. Missing the applicable deadline attracts a fine of AED 10,000 for failure to register. Once registered, the corporate tax return itself is due within nine months of the end of the financial year.
04What is the penalty for late corporate tax registration or filing?
Failing to register for corporate tax by the required deadline carries a fine of AED 10,000. Late filing of the corporate tax return can attract additional fines ranging from AED 1,000 to AED 50,000, depending on the nature of the violation. Whether a penalty applies, and its size, depends on the specific delay and circumstances involved.
05Which documents do I need for corporate tax registration?
Corporate tax registration generally requires the trade licence, memorandum of association, Emirates ID and passport copies of owners or partners, and details of the business activity and financial records. The exact list depends on the entity's legal structure and whether it is based on the mainland or in a free zone, which is assessed before documents are prepared.
06What is the process for corporate tax registration in the UAE?
The process involves assessing eligibility, preparing the required documents, submitting the application to the Federal Tax Authority, and then obtaining the corporate tax registration number once approved. The overall timeline depends on how quickly the documentation is gathered and the complexity of the entity, so it varies between businesses.
