Corporate Tax registration support for mainland and free zone entities. We review your FTA registration deadline, prepare the EmaraTax application and help reduce the risk of late-registration penalties.
The introduction of Corporate Tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 changed the compliance requirements for UAE businesses. Registration is generally required for resident juridical persons, including entities operating in mainland UAE and free zones.
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) uses entity-specific registration timelines. Businesses should check their legal form, licence or incorporation date and the applicable FTA schedule rather than rely on a generic 90-day rule.
Whether your enterprise qualifies as a Qualifying Freezone Person (subject to a 0% rate on qualifying income) or a Mainland business (9% on income exceeding AED 375,000), registration must be processed. Curatax manages the complete EmaraTax registration pipeline, securing your Corporate Tax TRN while establishing your legal eligibility for statutory exemptions.

Under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, UAE resident juridical persons, including mainland and free zone entities, generally need to register for Corporate Tax. The registration deadline depends on the entity type, incorporation date and the applicable FTA schedule, so businesses should confirm their specific deadline rather than rely on a generic 90-day rule. Late registration penalties may apply.
A:To register for corporate tax in the UAE, you must apply online through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) EmaraTax portal. The process involves: 1) Creating or logging into your EmaraTax account, 2) Navigating to 'Corporate Tax' and selecting 'Register', 3) Uploading required documents (Valid Trade License, Certificate of Incorporation, passport and Emirates ID of authorized signatories, and Memorandum of Association (MOA)), 4) Reviewing and submitting the application. Once approved by the FTA, you will receive a Corporate Tax Registration Number (TRN). Curatax handles this entire flow for you, avoiding any regulatory delays.
A:The deadline depends on the entity type, licence or incorporation date and the applicable FTA schedule. Check the current EmaraTax and FTA guidance for the entity-specific date; missing an applicable deadline may result in an administrative penalty.
