CT will apply to:
All Taxable Persons (including Free Zone Persons) and those exempt persons who are required to register for corporate tax must register for Corporate Tax and obtain a Corporate Tax Registration Number.
During each Tax Period, Taxable Persons are expected to submit a Corporate Tax return within nine months after the conclusion of the applicable period. The same deadline would apply for the payment of any Corporate Tax due in respect of the Tax Period for which a return is filed.
Deregistering for Corporate Tax (CT) in the UAE involves formally closing your Corporate Tax registration with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). This process is essential for businesses that are no longer operating, have ceased taxable activities, or are otherwise not required to maintain their Corporate Tax registration.
