TAX REGISTRATION
Registered with the FTA, correctly and on time.
Corporate tax and VAT registration with the Federal Tax Authority — from eligibility assessment through to Tax Registration Number issuance. We handle the process accurately, completely and on schedule.
Corporate Tax Registration
Mandatory registration for UAE juridical persons and qualifying natural persons. We assess your obligation, prepare the application and manage FTA submission to secure your CT TRN.
VAT Registration
Mandatory VAT registration for businesses exceeding AED 375,000 in taxable supplies and voluntary registration from AED 187,500. We handle the full EmaraTax portal application.
Tax Group Registration
Consolidation of related UAE entities into a single VAT or corporate tax group — simplifying compliance, eliminating intra-group tax charges and optimising your overall tax position.
Deregistration & Amendments
VAT and corporate tax deregistration when businesses cease trading, fall below thresholds or restructure. We also handle TRN amendments when entity details change.
From eligibility to TRN in hand.
Eligibility Assessment
We review your business model, revenue, entity type and UAE activities to confirm your registration obligation — mandatory or voluntary — and advise on the optimal registration date.
Document Collection
We provide a precise checklist of required documents — trade licence, MOA, Emirates ID, financial records, bank statements and supporting evidence — and review each one before submission.
FTA Application Submission
We complete and submit the EmaraTax portal application on your behalf — handling every field accurately and attaching all supporting documentation in the required format.
TRN Issuance & Handover
We monitor the application, respond to any FTA queries and confirm TRN issuance. We then brief your team on next steps — filing obligations, return deadlines and compliance requirements.
Know when registration is required.
Mandatory VAT — AED 375,000
If your UAE taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months, or are expected to in the next 30 days, VAT registration is legally required.
Voluntary VAT — AED 187,500
Businesses exceeding AED 187,500 may register voluntarily — often advisable when you have significant input VAT to recover or want to signal credibility to business partners.
Corporate Tax — All Entities
All UAE juridical persons — mainland, free zone and branches — must register for corporate tax, regardless of whether they are profitable or below the small business relief threshold.
Registration Deadlines
Corporate tax registration deadlines are phased by licence issuance date. VAT registration must occur within 30 days of meeting the mandatory threshold. Penalties apply for late registration.
Questions about FTA tax registration.
VAT registration typically takes 5–20 business days once all documents are submitted correctly. Corporate tax registration is generally processed within a similar timeframe, though this can vary based on FTA workload. Late or rejected applications can significantly extend this timeline — which is why complete, accurate documentation at the point of submission is essential.
The FTA imposes a penalty of AED 20,000 for failure to register for VAT within the required timeframe. Additional penalties may apply for output VAT that should have been charged during the unregistered period. Prompt registration — and backdated returns where necessary — is always the best course of action.
Yes. UAE businesses that are related parties and meet certain conditions — including common control and being established or resident in the UAE — may apply for VAT group registration. Within the group, intra-entity supplies are disregarded for VAT purposes. Corporate tax groups follow different rules. We assess your group structure and recommend the optimal approach.
The typical document set includes: current trade licence, MOA/AOA, Emirates ID and passport of authorised signatory, last 12 months' bank statements, sample sales invoices, customs registration (if applicable), and a description of business activities. The precise requirements depend on your business type and whether you are registering mandatorily or voluntarily. We provide a tailored checklist at the outset.
