Corporate Tax Registration & Filing

Stay Legally Compliant with Timely Trade License Renewals

The UAE has recently introduced a federal Corporate Tax regime to ensure businesses contribute to the nation’s development. All UAE companies – from mainland LLCs to free zone entities – are now obligated to register for Corporate Tax and file annual returns. Corporate Tax Registration & Filing is a critical compliance step for any business operating in the UAE, as non-compliance can lead to heavy penalties. Noble Core Ventures provides expert guidance through this new tax landscape, ensuring your company meets all its Corporate Tax obligations efficiently and correctly.

Key Corporate Tax Obligations in the UAE

Mandatory Registration: Most UAE businesses must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) for Corporate Tax, regardless of size or profits. Even free zone companies (which may enjoy tax incentives) are generally required to register to comply with the law.
Standard Tax Rate: A 0% tax rate applies on taxable profits up to AED 375,000, and a 9% tax rate on profits exceeding that threshold. This tiered structure supports small businesses and startups while taxing larger profits above the threshold.
Annual Tax Returns: Companies need to file an annual Corporate Tax return, reporting their financial results and tax due. The first financial year subject to Corporate Tax begins on or after 1 June 2023, with returns due in 2024 onwards. The FTA specifies deadlines based on your financial year (for example, a company following the calendar year may need to file by mid-2025 for the 2024 tax period).
Compliance Deadlines: The FTA has set staggered deadlines for initial tax registration. Existing businesses were given specific dates in 2024 to register, and new businesses must register within a few months of obtaining their licence. Missing registration or filing deadlines can incur fines starting from AED 10,000, so timely compliance is essential.
Exemptions & Free Zones: Certain entities (like government bodies or companies engaged in natural resource extraction) are exempt from Corporate Tax, and qualifying free zone companies can enjoy a 0% tax rate if they meet strict conditions. However, even these businesses must maintain proper records and fulfill registration or notification requirements to claim their exemption.
