Frequently asked questions
Is there a waiver for the Corporate Tax late registration penalty?
Yes. Under the FTA Corporate Tax Late Registration Penalty Waiver initiative, the late registration penalty for your first tax period is waived automatically if you file your first Corporate Tax return or annual declaration within 7 months of the end of that first tax period. It applies whether the penalty was already paid or not. We check your eligibility and file within the waiver window. You can also check eligibility with the FTA waiver eligibility tool.
When is the UAE VAT return due?
A VAT return and any VAT payable are due within 28 days of the end of each tax period. Most businesses file quarterly. If the 28th falls on a weekend or public holiday, the deadline moves to the next working day.
When is the UAE Corporate Tax return due?
The Corporate Tax return and payment are due within 9 months of the end of the financial year. For a 31 December 2026 year end, that is 30 September 2027.
What happens if a VAT or Corporate Tax return is filed late?
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) charges administrative penalties for late registration, late filing and late payment. The penalty regime was updated in April 2026, so we check the current rules for your situation and help you avoid them.
Can you track deadlines for several companies in one group?
Yes. Each company gets its own compliance profile with its VAT periods, Corporate Tax year, trade licence expiry and document checklist, and we report on the whole group together.
Do I need to change my accounting software?
No. We work with your existing records, and we also support Odoo and Zoho Books clients directly.
