UAE Corporate
Tax Registration

Simplifying the 9% Corporate Tax for Your Business. We handle your Federal Tax Authority (FTA) registration, tax groupings, and exemption claims.

Effective from 1 June 2023, the UAE implemented a Federal Corporate Tax (CT) on business profits. Registration is mandatory for all taxable persons (including Free Zone companies) to obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN). Failure to register within the specified timeline attracts a penalty of AED 10,000.

Whether you are a Mainland entity, a Free Zone company eligible for the 0% rate, or a small business claiming relief, we ensure your registration is accurate and compliant with the Corporate Tax Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022).
