Every UAE business entity must register for corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) via the EmaraTax portal, regardless of whether taxable profits exceed the AED 375,000 threshold. Registration must be completed before the company's first tax return is due.
Steps to register on EmaraTax:
- Create or sign into your EmaraTax account at eservices.tax.gov.ae
- Select “Corporate Tax” from the service catalogue
- Upload your trade licence, MoA, Emirates ID of authorised signatory, and financial information
- Declare your financial year-end and estimated taxable income
- Submit — typical approval within 7–14 working days
