Important Update- FTA Waives Penalties for Late Corporate Tax Registration

 


We are pleased to inform you about a new initiative by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to support UAE businesses by waiving the administrative penalties for late Corporate Tax registration—subject to meeting certain conditions.

Who is eligible?

  • Businesses that have submitted their Corporate Tax registration application and received a late registration penalty (paid or unpaid).

  • Businesses that have not yet registered and will be subject to a penalty upon submission.

Waiver Conditions:
To qualify for the waiver:

The Tax Return (or annual declaration for exempt entities) must be submitted within seven (7) months from the end of the first Tax Period or Financial Year.

What happens next?

If the penalty has not yet been paid, it will be waived.

If the penalty has already been paid, the amount will be credited back to the taxpayer’s EmaraTax account.


We encourage all registered entities to review their status and take necessary action to benefit from this limited-time relief.
