Why founders get caught out

A trade licence is only the start. Every company incorporated in the UAE on or after 1 March 2024 must register for corporate tax within three months of incorporation, even if it has not traded yet. Missing that deadline carries a fixed AED 10,000 penalty, which the FTA waives only if the first return is filed within seven months of the end of the first tax period.

From there the calendar fills quickly: VAT registration once taxable supplies and imports pass AED 375,000 over twelve months, a corporate tax return within nine months of each year end, and eInvoicing, which becomes mandatory for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more on 1 January 2027, with other businesses in scope following on 1 July 2027 and government entities on 1 October 2027.

About 710,000 businesses had registered for corporate tax by February 2026, and the FTA's public register lists about 810 tax agents to serve them. Good agents are busy. We make sure your filings are booked in early.

How it works

  1. Quick call. Your activity, where you want to operate and what is already in place.
  2. The plan. Jurisdiction, licence route, tax registrations and bookkeeping setup, with partner fees quoted upfront.
  3. We coordinate. Our licensed partners file, and we chase documents, deadlines and approvals so you do not have to.
  4. We keep your compliance calendar. A shared calendar of every return and renewal, and a live dashboard of your books.

Quick answers

Not directly. Our licensed setup partners handle the registration, and we coordinate it end to end: choosing mainland or free zone, the licence, establishment card and bank account, then the corporate tax registration that must follow within three months.
No. Ihya Digital is a marketing and technology company. Tax registration, returns and FTA correspondence are handled by our partner tax agents registered with the Federal Tax Authority. We coordinate the work and remain your point of contact.
Yes. Registration is required for companies even when no tax is due. Taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0% and the rest at 9%, but you still register and file.
It depends on the jurisdiction, licence activity and the volume of your bookkeeping. We quote partner fees upfront after a short call, before any work starts.
