Key Regulations
UAE Corporate Tax Compliance Guidelines
Understand the key compliance rules that every UAE business must follow under the Federal Tax Authority's (FTA) corporate tax regime to avoid penalties.
Mandatory Returns for All
Filing is required for every company operating in the UAE — including Free Zone entities and mainland businesses with zero or nil tax liability.
Federal Tax Authority
The FTA governs all corporate tax compliance, registration, filing, audit enforcement, and ledger checks across every UAE jurisdiction.
Standard Tax Rate: 9%
Companies are subject to a 9% tax on taxable profits above AED 375,000. Filing is still mandatory even if your taxable profits are below this threshold.
Fines & Penalties
Late filing incurs an AED 500 monthly penalty, and late registration triggers a one-off AED 10,000 fine. Strict deadlines apply based on license issue dates.

Is there a fine for late Corporate Tax registration?
Yes. The Federal Tax Authority has implemented an AED 10,000 fine for companies that fail to submit their Corporate Tax registration applications within the specified deadlines, which are based on the month of their trade license issuance.
When is a UAE Corporate Tax return due?
A taxable person must file their Corporate Tax return and settle any tax liability within nine months from the end of the relevant tax period (typically the financial year-end).
Does a Free Zone company automatically get 0% tax treatment?
No. Free Zone status alone is not sufficient. To qualify for the 0% rate, the entity must maintain adequate substance in the UAE, generate qualifying income, comply with transfer pricing rules, and file regular tax returns.
Can you help if our books are behind or incomplete?
Yes. We offer bookkeeping backlog cleanup and records reconstruction to establish a transparent audit trail. Reconciling your records before registration and filing is the best way to safeguard against compliance checks.
What documents are required for Corporate Tax registration?
Generally, you need the company’s Trade License, Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum of Association (MoA), Passport/Emirates ID of the owners/signatories, and contact details of the authorized signatory.
Is Corporate Tax applicable to salary or personal income?
No. UAE Corporate Tax is only applicable to the taxable income of businesses and individuals conducting business activities under a license. It does not apply to employment income, personal investment dividends, interest, or personal real estate income.
Do Free Zone entities still need to register for Corporate Tax?
Yes. All Free Zone entities (including Qualifying Free Zone Persons) are required to register for Corporate Tax and obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN). Registration is mandatory regardless of whether you qualify for the 0% corporate tax rate.
