Simplifying Your UAE Corporate Tax Registration

DMCC Corporate Tax Registration Services in UAE

The introduction of UAE Corporate Tax has made tax registration a mandatory legal requirement for all DMCC companies, regardless of turnover, profit, or business activity. If your business is licensed under the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), you must register for corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) within the prescribed timelines.

At UAE Corporate Tax Registration, we specialize in DMCC corporate tax registration services, offering end-to-end assistance to ensure your company remains fully compliant with UAE tax regulations—without delays, errors, or penalties.

Our expert-led approach ensures your registration is accurate, compliant, and stress-free, allowing you to focus on growing your business.

Understanding Corporate Tax in DMCC Free Zone

The UAE introduced Corporate Tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, applying to businesses operating both on the mainland and within Free Zones, including DMCC.

Key Points DMCC Companies Must Know:

Corporate tax registration is mandatory
Registration is required even if taxable income is 0%
DMCC companies may qualify as Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZP)
Failure to register may result in FTA administrative penalties

Many DMCC companies mistakenly believe Free Zone status means exemption from registration. This is incorrect. Registration is compulsory for all DMCC-licensed entities.

Who Needs Corporate Tax Registration in DMCC?

Corporate tax registration applies to all legal persons and certain natural persons operating under DMCC, including:

DMCC Free Zone companies
Single-owner and multi-shareholder companies
Holding and investment companies
Trading, service, consultancy, and industrial firms
Startups, SMEs, and multinational entities
Branches registered under DMCC

Even if your company:

Has no revenue
Is dormant
Qualifies for 0% corporate tax

Registration is still required.

What Is a Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP)?

Many DMCC companies may qualify for 0% corporate tax if they meet the conditions of a Qualifying Free Zone Person.

Key Conditions Include:

Maintaining adequate substance in the UAE
Deriving qualifying income
Complying with transfer pricing rules
Not conducting excluded activities
Filing corporate tax returns on time

⚠️ Important:

Being a QFZP does not exempt your company from corporate tax registration. Registration with the FTA is mandatory to claim the benefit.
