The UAE announces waiver for Corporation Tax Fines

Announcement

The Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Authority of the United Arab Emirates have announced a new initiative to waiver late registration fees for Corporation tax.

Offering relief to businesses transitioning into the new corporate tax regime, the FTA have also confirmed they will refund fines already paid by business that meet the requirements of the initiative.

Officials said the decision reflects a broader commitment to support businesses, simplify procedures, and encourage voluntary compliance, especially during the first year of the UAE’s corporate tax rollout.

To qualify for the waiver, eligible companies must file their corporate tax returns or annual statements within seven months from the end of their first tax period, as outlined in the Corporate Tax Law.

How does this benefit business owners?

For newly incorporated businesses and/or existing businesses that have either submitted a late registration or are still to complete the registration process the waiver of fines will offer substantial relief.

As a business owner, the responsibility to ensure compliance with local regulations including all tax laws is imperative.
