UAE Corporate Tax Registration 2025– Setting up a new company in the UAE? One crucial step you cannot afford to overlook is corporate tax registration. As per Federal Tax Authority (FTA) guidelines, businesses must register for corporate tax within 3 months of license issuance—or face a non-negotiable AED 10,000 penalty. At MH Solutions UAE, we simplify compliance so you can focus on growth without stress or fines.
Why Timely UAE Corporate Tax Registration Matters
Under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, all UAE businesses and individuals conducting business activities—unless exempt—are required to register for corporate tax. This includes companies in mainland, free zones and even freelancers or sole proprietors who cross the income threshold.
Timely tax registration ensures:
- 100% compliance with UAE law
- Avoidance of administrative penalties
- Smooth access to government services and business banking
- A strong reputation with clients and partners

UAE Business Tax Deadline: What is the 3-Month Rule?
For any company incorporated on or after March 1, 2025, the FTA mandates that you register for corporate tax within 90 days from your license issuance date.
📌 Example: If your license was issued on April 10, 2025, your registration must be completed by July 9, 2025.
This rule applies regardless of your financial year. Don’t wait until the last minute—early registration can prevent system delays and help you claim any benefits or deductions timely.
Corporate Tax Rules for Individuals
Are you a freelancer, sole proprietor, or natural person conducting business?
You must register if your annual turnover exceeds AED 1 million and do so by March 31 of the following year. Missing this can also trigger penalties.
What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?
Failing to register within the 3-month period comes with an automatic AED 10,000 fine. And that’s not all—additional penalties may follow for late return filing or inaccurate information.
This fine is strictly enforced by the FTA and cannot be negotiated once issued.
FTA’s Temporary Relief: 2025 Penalty Waiver
If you’ve missed your deadline—there’s still hope.
✅ The FTA offers a one-time penalty waiver for companies that missed registration but submit their first tax return within seven months of the end of their first tax period.
📌 Example: If your first tax period ends on December 31, 2024, you can avoid the AED 10,000 fine by submitting your return by July 31, 2025.
However, this is a limited-time relief and may not be extended.
