What Is the New Corporate Tax Penalty Waiver About?<\/strong><\/p>

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) permits the sidestepping or recovery of a penalty of AED 10,000 when a business corporate tax return or declaration is submitted within seven months of the first tax period and meets the business meeting deadlines.<\/p>

That is two months earlier than the usual 9-month deadline.<\/p>

This rule applies to all companies, even those which do not pay taxation but are mandated to file and register an annual declaration.<\/p>

Who Is Eligible For the Waiver?<\/strong><\/p>

You\u2019re eligible if:<\/p>

– You have not registered yet, but you are willing to submit your return within 7 months.
– You have incurred the penalty but have not paid yet.
– You have made payment and want to request refund via the FTA account for submitted payment.<\/p>

The UAE firms whether nascent or well established stand to lose out under such timelines.<\/p>
