Does my free zone company pay corporate tax?
Free zone companies must register and file. Income that meets the qualifying free zone person conditions is taxed at 0%; other income at 9%. We assess your income streams and substance to confirm your position.
When do I need to register for VAT?
Registration is mandatory once taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 in the past 12 months or are expected to in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500.
What is the deadline for the corporate tax return?
Nine months after the end of your financial year. A company with a December year-end files by 30 September of the following year.
What are the penalties for late registration?
The FTA applies a fixed penalty for late corporate tax registration, plus penalties for late filing and late payment. Registering early avoids all of them.
