Register for UAE Corporate Tax the Right Way, Before the Deadline
We handle your FTA Corporate Tax registration end-to-end and submit it within your assigned deadline window — so you avoid the AED 10,000 late registration penalty.
Corporate Tax Registration in the UAE
Every taxable person in the UAE — mainland or free zone — must register for Corporate Tax with the FTA and obtain a Corporate Tax registration number, even if no tax is ultimately due. The FTA has set staggered registration deadlines based on your trade licence issue date, and missing yours triggers a penalty regardless of your tax position.
Registration is done through EmaraTax and requires your trade licence, ownership details and, in many cases, an assessment of whether you qualify for free zone or Small Business Relief treatment before the application is even submitted. We determine your correct deadline, prepare the application, and register your entity so your TRN is issued without delay.
Why You Need Professional Corporate Tax Registration Support
Missing your assigned registration deadline results in an AED 10,000 administrative penalty, applied per entity. Because deadlines are tied to your licence issue month rather than a single fixed date, it’s easy to miscalculate your own deadline, especially across a group with multiple entities. We track and manage registration across your full corporate structure so nothing is missed.
Documents Required for Corporate Tax Registration
- Trade licence copy — valid licence for the entity being registered.
- Memorandum or Articles of Association — confirming ownership structure and authorized signatories.
- Emirates ID and passport copies — for owners, partners and the authorized signatory.
- Financial statements or management accounts — to support Small Business Relief or Qualifying Income assessment where relevant.
- Free zone licence details — where the entity intends to claim Qualifying Free Zone Person status.
- Group structure chart — where the entity is part of a wider corporate group.
