Not sure whether you even cross the natural-person threshold? Check the freelancer threshold tracker, then estimate the tax itself with the Corporate Tax Calculator.
The corporate tax return must be filed โ and the tax paid โ within 9 months from the end of the relevant tax period. For a tax period ending 31 December 2025, both are due by 30 September 2026.
A newly incorporated resident juridical person must register within 3 months of its date of incorporation, establishment, or recognition. Registration is done through the FTA's EmaraTax portal.
A natural person whose turnover from business exceeded AED 1,000,000 in a Gregorian calendar year must register for corporate tax by 31 March of the following year.
Failure to register for corporate tax by the applicable deadline triggers an administrative penalty of AED 10,000. Filing or paying late can attract further penalties, so it pays to track every deadline.
