Abu Dhabi: An administrative penalty of Dh10,000 will be imposed on companies for late registrations for UAE Corporate Tax, the Ministry of Finance announced Tuesday. The penalty will be imposed on businesses that do not submit their Corporate Tax registration applications within the timelines specified by the Federal Tax Authority, according to a statement issued by the Ministry.
The penalty was introduced to encourage taxpayers’ compliance with tax regulations by registering for corporate tax in a timely fashion.
