Corporate Tax Registration in the UAE
In January 2022, the UAE Ministry of Finance announced the introduction of Federal Corporate Tax (CT), applicable to businesses from 1 June 2023 onwards. All companies and individuals conducting business under a commercial license are required to register for Corporate Tax with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
Who Must Register?
- Companies established in the UAE (Mainland & Free Zones)
- Branches of foreign companies operating in the UAE
- Banking institutions
- Real estate development, construction, and brokerage companies
- Foreign entities with a Permanent Establishment (PE) in the UAE
Exempt from Registration:
- Businesses engaged in natural resource extraction (subject to Emirate-level tax)
- UAE Government entities and qualifying public benefit entities
- Individual salaries and personal income not requiring a commercial license
- Dividends, capital gains, and other investment income in a personal capacity
Why Registration is Crucial
- Avoid penalties for late registration
- Ensure your business is legally recognized under the CT regime
- Gain access to exemptions, reliefs, or free zone benefits (where eligible)
