FAQ

Frequently asked.

The questions we hear most often. If yours isn't here, just ask.

Who needs to register for UAE Corporate Tax?+
Most UAE businesses are required to register for Corporate Tax with the FTA. This includes free zone entities, mainland LLCs, branches of foreign companies and qualifying natural persons. Registration must be completed regardless of whether the entity expects to be liable for tax.
What is a Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP)?+
A QFZP is a free zone entity that meets specific UAE Corporate Tax conditions — including substance requirements, qualifying activities and de minimis tests. QFZPs benefit from a 0% Corporate Tax rate on qualifying income.
When are UAE Corporate Tax returns due?+
Annual Corporate Tax returns must be filed within 9 months of the end of the financial year. For a 31 December year-end, the deadline is 30 September of the following year.
What happens if I file my Corporate Tax return late?+
Late filing attracts FTA penalties. Additional penalties apply for late payment and for incorrect or incomplete submissions. The FTA has discretion to waive certain penalties under specific circumstances.
