Corporate Tax registration
Registration handled for each entity in the group, with the scope question answered before the form is submitted.
What it is
Registration is an administrative step, but which entities to register, on what basis, and whether they should be treated together are decisions taken before it. Registering entities individually when a group treatment would apply — or the reverse — creates work to unwind later.
Who it applies to
Who this is for.
- Newly incorporated UAE entities
- Groups adding an entity to an existing structure
- Businesses that have been trading before addressing registration
- Entities whose activity or ownership has changed materially
What we do
The work itself.
Map the group and identify every entity requiring registration
Advise on whether entities should be treated separately or together
Prepare and submit registrations with the supporting documentation
Record the basis on which each decision was taken
Set up the ongoing filing calendar with named owners
What you provide
What we will need from you.
Gathering these before the first conversation shortens everything that follows.
- Trade licence and incorporation documents per entity
- Ownership and shareholding records
- Authorised signatory details
- Financial year end for each entity
Timeline
Straightforward single-entity registration is usually completed within days of documentation being available. Group structures require the scoping review first.
Rates, thresholds and filing dates change. We confirm the current position for your entity in writing rather than publishing figures that may date.
Questions
What people ask.
It depends on the entity's status and activity rather than on whether it traded. We review each entity in the group rather than assuming a single answer.

What follows
- A person in the relevant practice reads it, not a routing queue.
- One reply that already contains a view, not a request to book a call.
- A written scope and fee basis, or a straight answer that there is no work to do.
- Sunday – Thursday, 9:00 – 18:00 GST
