Tax Advisory

Corporate Tax Registration

Register for UAE Corporate Tax correctly, completely and ahead of the FTA deadline — late registration alone carries an AED 10,000 penalty.

Overview

Every taxable person in the UAE must register for Corporate Tax with the Federal Tax Authority — and the registration windows are strict. We determine your correct registration obligation, prepare the application with the right supporting documents and manage the EmaraTax process end to end.

Beyond the form itself, registration is where elections and classifications are set: free zone status, tax groups, financial year alignment. Getting these right at the start prevents expensive corrections later.

Why it matters

Late corporate tax registration alone carries an AED 10,000 penalty. We keep you ahead of every deadline. Engagements are scoped by a senior adviser, priced as a fixed fee before work begins, and delivered by the same team that answers when you call.

FAQ

Common Questions

Who must register for UAE Corporate Tax?

All taxable persons — mainland companies, most free zone entities and certain natural persons conducting business — must register with the FTA, even if their income falls below the taxable threshold.

What happens if I register late?

The FTA levies an AED 10,000 administrative penalty for late Corporate Tax registration, before any return is even due. We confirm your deadline and file well ahead of it.

How are your fees structured for corporate tax registration?

Every engagement is a fixed fee agreed in writing before work begins — scoped by a senior adviser after a short, free review of your situation. No hourly billing, no surprises, and the quote itself is free.

Do you work with free zone and mainland companies?

Yes — we act for mainland, free zone and offshore entities across the UAE. Free zone rules, including Qualifying Free Zone Person status, are assessed explicitly as part of the engagement since they change both the tax position and the documentation required.

What happens if the FTA asks questions later?

Every position we take is documented and defensible at the time we take it. If the FTA raises a query or opens an audit, the same team that did the work supports the response — including penalty mitigation and voluntary disclosure where relevant.

What do we need to provide to get started?

Typically your trade licence, ownership structure, recent financials and access to your accounting records. We send a short checklist after the first call and handle the heavy lifting from there.
