FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common Corporate Tax registration queries.
Who must register for UAE Corporate Tax?
All UAE-incorporated entities—Mainland LLCs, Free-zone companies, branches—and foreign juridical persons with a PE or nexus in the UAE must register once business activity begins, regardless of turnover.
When must a new entity register after incorporation?
Entities incorporated on or after 1 Mar 2024 must register within 3 months of the incorporation/licence date (e.g. 15 Mar 2025 → 15 Jun 2025).
How do I register and obtain a TRN?
Use UAE Pass to access the EmaraTax portal, complete the CT registration form, upload required documents, and receive your Tax Registration Number (TRN) upon approval.
What happens if I miss the registration deadline?
An administrative penalty of AED 10 000 applies.
Is there a waiver for late-registration penalties?
Yes. File your first CT return within 7 months of your first tax period end and the FTA will waive or refund the AED 10 000 penalty—even if already paid.
When is the first CT return due?
Within 9 months of the end of your first tax period (e.g. FY ending 31 Dec 2024 → return due 30 Sep 2025). For the waiver above, file by end Jul 2025.
