FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Corporate Tax Deadlines.

What are the application deadlines for newly incorporated UAE businesses?

Newly established entities after March 1, 2024, must apply within three months from the date of incorporation or establishment. Example: if the business was established on 1 April 2024, the application deadline is 1 June 2024, and a penalty applies from 2 June 2024.

Are non-resident entities with a Permanent Establishment (PE) in the UAE required to apply for CT?

Yes, if a non-resident has a PE in the UAE, the application deadline is nine months from the PE’s establishment if formed before March 1, 2024, or six months if formed after the date.

When should natural persons conducting business in the UAE apply for CT?

A natural person in the UAE must apply for Corporate Tax (CT) if their total turnover exceeds AED 1 million within a Gregorian calendar year, starting from the year 2024. Upon reaching this threshold, they must obtain a TRN as required under UAE CT law.

Can a UAE resident juridical person with multiple licences choose which one to use for the application?

No, entities must use the licence with the earliest issuance date to determine their CT application deadline.

What happens if an entity’s licence is not renewed by the deadline?

The entity remains responsible for meeting CT application deadlines regardless of licence renewal status.

Is there a special application requirement for entities managed from outside the UAE?

Foreign entities effectively managed in the UAE should apply within three months of the fiscal year-end.

Does UAE corporate tax apply to non-business income for individuals?

No, individuals earning non-business income (e.g., from salaries, investments) are generally exempt from CT.

How does the FTA calculate the ‘date of existence’ for Permanent Establishments?

The date of existence is generally six months from a PE’s initial operations, with specifics assessed case-by-case, especially for longer activities under certain tax treaties.

How does the UAE handle CT for offshore companies?

Offshore companies with UAE-sourced income but no physical presence in the UAE might still be required to apply for CT depending on specific case evaluations, though details on this are subject to further regulatory guidance.

Are companies that only earn UAE-sourced income but lack a physical presence required to apply?

Companies earning only UAE-sourced income without a physical presence in the UAE may still be required to apply for CT. This ensures proper tax compliance based on income generation, even without local operations.
