Stay Compliant with UAE Corporate Tax – Deadline Update
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) of the UAE has recently emphasized the critical importance of timely corporate tax filing and payment. As of today, the deadline for submitting corporate tax returns has passed, and businesses that did not comply are now subject to administrative fines.
Meeting tax deadlines is crucial to avoid penalties and maintain smooth business operations in the UAE. Delayed submissions can result in fines of AED 500 per month for the first 12 months and AED 1,000 per month from the 13th month onward.
Who Must File Corporate Tax Returns?
All businesses subject to UAE corporate tax.
Exempt entities required to register must also submit annual declarations.
Filing can be done by the taxpayer directly or by a tax agent or legal representative.
Note: Inaccurate or incomplete filings can result in additional penalties under UAE tax laws.
Digital Filing Made Simple
The FTA’s “Emarat Tax” digital platform allows businesses to:
Register for corporate tax
Submit tax returns online
Make payments electronically
Access services 24/7
The platform is designed to make tax compliance fast, simple, and transparent.
Why Timely Filing Matters
Avoid accumulating costly penalties.
Maintain a strong financial reputation with regulators.
Focus on business growth without administrative disruptions.
With the deadline now passed, businesses face immediate fines if they did not submit their returns. This makes professional tax guidance essential to navigate compliance, calculate penalties, and ensure accurate filings.
