Corporate Tax Registration in UAE
Register, File and Stay Compliant with UAE Corporate Tax Regulations
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has established clear guidelines for Corporate Tax Registration in UAE under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. All taxable entities are required to complete their corporate tax registration within the designated timeframe to remain compliant and avoid penalties imposed by the FTA.
Who Needs to Register for Corporate Tax?
Corporate tax registration is mandatory for:
- UAE-based businesses and companies earning taxable income.
- Free zone companies, including those benefiting from the 0% tax regime.
- Foreign companies with a permanent establishment in the UAE.
- Individuals engaged in business activities exceeding the taxable threshold.
Timeline for Corporate Tax Registration
For newly incorporated businesses, the registration deadline is within three months from the date of company registration or license issuance. The timeline starts from the date the entity becomes subject to corporate tax.
Existing businesses must register based on the deadlines set by the FTA, and failure to comply results in penalties.
Penalties for Late Registration
Failure to register within the required period will result in an administrative penalty of AED 10,000. The FTA has emphasized that businesses must adhere to the registration timelines to avoid unnecessary fines and legal complications.

The registration process is facilitated through the EmaraTax platform, which allows businesses to complete their tax registration efficiently. The process involves:
- Creating an account on the FTA portal.
- Submitting the trade license and business details.
- Providing financial statements and supporting documents.
- Receiving the Tax Registration Number (TRN) upon approval.
