final call: your uae corporate tax deadline is now

This isn't a reminder for next month or even next week. This is a final, urgent call to action. For many businesses in the UAE, the deadline to file your first Corporate Tax return and settle your payment is this week.

If your business's financial year ended on 31 December 2024, your deadline of 30 September 2025 is now upon us.

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has been unequivocal in its communications. Missing this deadline will result in immediate and separate penalties for both late filing and late payment. These are avoidable costs that no business needs.

The Immediate Risk

Remember the FTA’s specific warning: electronic transfers through banks are not always instant. Initiating a payment on the last day is extremely risky. If it doesn’t clear in the FTA’s account on time, you will face a late payment penalty, even if you sent the money on the deadline day.

Compliance is not optional. Every business, regardless of income level, has a legal obligation under UAE federal tax law to file a return.
