UAE Corporate Income Tax Registration: Deadline Approaches for August-September License Holders

Don’t miss the October deadline to register your Corporate Income Tax if your UAE business license was issued in August or September, avoid penalties with timely compliance.

Tax

The UAE’s Corporate Income Tax registration system, which came into effect on 01.03.2024, requires all resident juridical persons (companies) to register based on their license issuance month.

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has issued an important reminder for companies with licenses issued in August and September to complete their Corporate Income Tax registration by 31.10.2024.

Important Considerations for Multiple License Holders

If your company holds multiple UAE licenses as of 01.03.2024:

  1. Registration deadline is determined by your earliest license issuance date
  2. Even expired licenses count, the registration deadline is based on the original issuance month
