UAE Corporate Tax Registration, Filing & Advisory
Corporate Tax registration is mandatory in the UAE regardless of profitability — including businesses under the AED 375,000 threshold. The FTA is already enforcing late-registration penalties. We handle the full lifecycle, from initial registration through annual return filing and Qualifying Free Zone Person assessment.

Questions we hear every week.
Do I need to register if my profit is below AED 375,000?
Yes. Registration is mandatory regardless of profitability. Only the tax rate depends on your profit level — registration itself does not.
What is the deadline for filing?
Within 9 months of your financial year-end. For most UAE companies with a December year-end, that's 30 September of the following year.
Am I a Qualifying Free Zone Person?
It depends on your qualifying income, adequate substance and de minimis compliance. We do a full assessment — many free zone businesses assume they qualify when they don't, and vice versa.
Am I a Qualifying Free Zone Person?
File immediately. The FTA is currently enforcing late-registration penalties and earlier filing generally reduces exposure. We can also assist with reconsideration where grounds exist.
