The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has issued a reminder for Resident Juridical Persons whose licenses were issued in July to complete their Corporate Income Tax registration by 30.09.2024. This deadline applies regardless of the year the license was issued, making it essential for businesses to act promptly to ensure compliance.
Scope of Registration Requirements
The registration mandate extends to a broad range of entities:
- Juridical Persons: This category includes companies, corporations, and other legally recognized organizations.
- Natural Persons: Individuals engaged in business activities that fall under the purview of Corporate Income Tax.
- Resident Entities: Businesses incorporated or established in the UAE.
- Non-Resident Entities: Foreign companies with a permanent establishment or source of income in the UAE.
For businesses holding multiple licenses, it’s crucial to note that the registration deadline is determined by the license with the earliest issuance date.
Implications of Non-Compliance
The FTA has emphasized that failure to register by the specified deadline will result in administrative penalties. These penalties are outlined in Cabinet Decision No. 75 of 2023, which details the consequences for violations related to the application of Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses.
