The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Corporate Tax regime requires all taxpayers to file annual corporate tax returns with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
For businesses with a financial year ending 31 December 2024, the filing deadline is 30 September 2025 — and it is fast approaching. Missing this deadline may expose taxpayers to penalties and interest charges.
What You Need To Prepare?
To ensure a smooth and timely filing process, we encourage all UAE businesses/clients to prepare and provide the relevant documents and workings at the earliest, including following:
- Audited financial statements (or financials where audits are not applicable).
- Trial Balances/detailed workings supporting the corporate tax computation.
- Supporting schedules and reconciliations required for the return form.
- Non-financial details, as applicable, for completing the Tax return form on the Emara-tax portal.
Penalties for Late Submission:
- AED 500 per month – Late submission of the return
- 14% per annum – Interest on unpaid corporate tax
- Additional penalties – As may be imposed by the FTA
