The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has renewed its calls for Resident Juridical Persons with Licences issued in October and November, regardless of the year of issuance, to promptly submit their Corporate Tax registration application no later than 30 November 2024, to avoid Administrative Penalties.

The FTA advises Taxable Persons to adhere to the timelines specified in Cabinet Decision No. 3/2024 on the Timeline for Registration of Taxable Persons for Corporate Tax, which came into effect on 1 March 2024.

Resident Juridical Persons incorporated or established before March 1, 2024, must submit their Corporate Tax registration application based on the month their Licence was issued, irrespective of the year.

For Taxable Persons holding multiple Licences on 1 March 2024, the deadline is determined by the Licence with the earliest issuance date.

Registration for Corporate Tax is available through the EmaraTax digital platform, accessible 24/7.

The process has been streamlined into four main steps, taking approximately 30 minutes. Taxable Persons can also register through authorised Tax Agents or government service centres.

The FTA has urged Taxable Persons subject to Corporate Tax to review the Corporate Tax Law, related decisions, and guidelines published on the FTA website: tax.gov.ae.
