Corporate Tax Registration & Deregistration

Registration must be completed within the deadline set by the FTA for your category of business. Missing it, or failing to deregister correctly when a business closes, can result in administrative penalties. We manage the entire process so your standing with the FTA stays accurate.

▌ When Registration and Deregistration Apply

Registration is required when a business becomes a Taxable Person, which for most entities is on incorporation or licensing. Deregistration applies when a business ceases operations, is liquidated, merges, or otherwise stops being a Taxable Person. In each case, the FTA expects timely, properly documented action.

▌ What’s Involved

• • Eligibility and deadline review — we confirm whether your entity is a Taxable Person, identify the correct registration category, and establish your deadline.
• • Application preparation — we compile the trade licence, ownership, and authorised-signatory details and submit the application through the FTA’s EmaraTax portal.
• • TRN issuance — we obtain your Corporate Tax Registration Number and confirm your details are recorded correctly.
• • Deregistration management — when your business ceases activity or leaves scope, we prepare and submit the deregistration application within the required timeframe.
• • Final obligations — we ensure outstanding returns are filed and any tax settled, as the FTA will not approve deregistration until all obligations are cleared.
