Corporate Tax Return Filing UAE | Hassle-Free FTA Registration

Navigating UAE Corporate Tax? MSZ Handles the Hard Parts.

Forget FTA stress and potential penalties. Our experts at MSZ manage your corporate tax return filing, ensuring full compliance from day one until closure.

The new UAE Corporate Tax law implies that every business, whether in free zone or mainland LLCs and freelancers, must now register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). And when the time comes to close, deregistration is just as critical. At MSZ, we take this burden off your shoulders. We provide complete white-glove service to register your business and ensure a clean, compliant exit when you need to deregister.

Corporate Tax Registration: Your Questions, Answered.

Who really needs to register?

If your business is active in the UAE, you likely need a Tax Registration Number (TRN). The rule applies to:

All mainland companies and LLCs.
Every Free Zone entity (even those benefiting from a 0% tax rate).
Branches of foreign companies operating here.
Freelancers and sole proprietors whose income crosses the threshold.
Non-resident companies with a permanent establishment in the UAE.

What are the tax rates I’ll pay?

The system is designed to support growing businesses:

0% on taxable income up to AED 375K.
9% on taxable income above AED 375K.
Free Zone Companies can maintain a 0% rate on qualifying income if they meet FTA conditions.

What paperwork will I need to gather?

The documents depend on your type of business, but usually include:

For companies: Your valid trade license, the Emirates ID and passport of the authority signatory, and a signed Power of Attorney.
For individual owners/ freelancers: Your Emirates ID, passport, and trade license (if you have one).

Everything gets uploaded digitally to the FTA's EmaraTax portal.
