Corporate Tax | United Arab Emirates

Under UAE corporate tax, entities falling under the purview of Taxable Persons are required to undergo the corporate tax registration process. All Taxable Persons, including those operating within Free Zones, are obligated to complete the corporate tax registration procedure and acquire a unique Corporate Tax Registration Number before they can submit their initial corporate tax returns. It is important to note that UAE branches of domestic juridical persons are exempt from the obligation to register independently for UAE Corporate Tax, as they are deemed extensions of their parent or head offices and are not considered autonomous legal entities. For seamless adherence to corporate tax regulations and to ensure seamless registration, Taxable Persons are recommended to avail the expertise of Top Tax consultants in UAE.
