Corporate Tax
Registration in the UAE
We help businesses complete corporate tax registration in the UAE smoothly by guiding them through eligibility checks, documentation, EmaraTax setup, and full FTA compliance requirements.
A taxable person is required to register for corporate tax in the UAE as mandated by Clause 1 of Article 51 of the Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 (UAE CT Law). The Law specifically states that taxable businesses must conduct corporate tax registration in the UAE in line with the form and manner and within the timeline prescribed by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Understanding when and how to complete UAE corporate tax registration is essential for avoiding penalties and ensuring a smooth start to your tax compliance journey.
The businesses should also obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN) after conducting the registration. Most companies seek guidance during UAE corporate tax registration to ensure their TRN is issued without delays or errors.
