Therefore, Administrative Penalties shall be applied to the taxable person who does not comply with the requirements to submit Corporate Tax registration applications before the specified deadlines for each category of Corporate taxable persons. The decision defines deadlines for applying to register for Corporate Tax for both juridical and natural persons, whether they are residents or non-residents.

The FTA reiterated that Corporate Tax registration is available at all times through the EmaraTax digital tax services platform. It noted that the registration process involves four steps that take approximately 30 minutes.

To further ease the registration process, taxable persons already registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) or Excise Tax can access their accounts on EmaraTax, complete the Corporate Tax registration request, and submit the required documents.
