Nationwide educational efforts to continue through 2025 In a press statement issued today, the FTA confirmed that this workshop is part of a broader series of awareness events—delivered both virtually and in person across all emirates—which will continue throughout 2025. Thousands benefit from previous workshops The FTA reported that over 2,300 participants have attended the three recent workshops held in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and RAK. These included representatives from business sectors and stakeholders from both public and private entities involved in taxation. Urgent call for prompt registration During the workshop, the FTA stressed the importance of prompt registration for Corporate Tax. Entities subject to the tax who have not yet registered were urged to submit their applications promptly to benefit from a Cabinet decision exempting them from administrative penalties for late registration. Conditions to qualify for exemption from penalties The FTA clarified that to benefit from the exemption initiative, registered entities must submit their tax returns (or annual declarations) within seven months from the end date of their first tax period. This is a key condition to qualify for penalty exemption under the Cabinet decision.

Commitment to enhancing compliance support The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to continuously enhancing the services it provides to support business sectors. This includes a range of ongoing awareness initiatives aimed at fostering a tax environment conducive to voluntary compliance, with information presented clearly and accessibly.

FTA representatives responded to participant questions during the session. In-depth guidance on corporate tax law During the session, FTA representatives delivered a comprehensive explanation of the Corporate Tax Law and related regulations.
