If your business’s first corporate tax period ended 31 December 2025, the FTA’s late registration penalty waiver closes 31 July 2026. Miss it and that AED 10,000 penalty is permanent, even if you’ve already paid it.
Here’s what qualifies:
📌 Dec 31, 2025 year-end businesses
📌 First corporate tax period filers
📌 Even nil returns count, filing is mandatory either way
And here’s what you keep if you act in time:
✅ AED 10,000 penalty waived
✅ Already paid? It gets credited back automatically
