Corporate Tax Registration is mandatory from the financial year starting on or after 1 June 2023 — for every business, whether taxed at 0%, 9%, or exempt. HayyaTax handles the complete registration process for you.
Mandatory for every business, regardless of tax rate.
Registration is mandatory for all companies under the UAE Corporate Tax Law, whether subject to 0% or 9% Corporate Tax. Even exempt entities must register to obtain their exemption benefits. The FTA introduced an early registration phase for selected categories of businesses, with others registering afterward through the EmaraTax platform.

Who Needs This
Every business under UAE Corporate Tax Law.
Whether your business falls into the 0% band, the 9% band, or qualifies as exempt, registration itself is not optional — exempt entities must still register in order to actually obtain their exemption.
Timing
Register within the FTA's prescribed timeline.
The FTA assigned early registration windows to selected categories of businesses first; other businesses register after that early phase through EmaraTax. Missing the deadline set for your category carries administrative penalties under UAE Corporate Tax Law.
What You'll Need
Information for your EmaraTax registration.
Trade licence copy
Certificate of Incorporation
Passport or Emirates ID of the authorized signatory
Description of business activities
Financial statements, where available
Why This Matters
What missing your registration window costs you.
Missing the registration deadline set for your business category carries administrative penalties
Exempt entities that don't register can't actually claim their exemption benefits
Late registration delays every Corporate Tax step that follows it
