Tax registration in the UAE with the FTA
We handle registrations with the FTA for the applicable taxes and check that the registration details are aligned with the trade licence and operations.
When it applies
This applies to new companies, entities already in operation, or companies that need to update their tax details.
Requirements
Trade licence, corporate documents, address, activity, shareholders, financial year and the documentation required by EmaraTax.
Timeframes
It depends on the tax and the FTA's review.
Common mistakes
Not registering on time; inconsistent details; not updating changes to the licence or address.
