Simplifying Your UAE Corporate Tax Registration

DSO Corporate Tax Registration Services in UAE

The introduction of UAE Corporate Tax has made corporate tax registration a mandatory legal requirement for all companies licensed in Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO). Regardless of your company’s business activity, revenue, or profitability, every DSO-registered entity must register for corporate tax with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) within the prescribed timelines.

At UAE Corporate Tax Registration, we provide end-to-end DSO corporate tax registration services, ensuring your business meets all UAE corporate tax compliance requirements accurately and on time—without errors, delays, or penalties.

Corporate Tax in Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) – Overview

UAE Corporate Tax is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, which applies to all business entities operating in the UAE, including Free Zones such as Dubai Silicon Oasis.

Key Points for DSO Companies:

Corporate tax registration is mandatory
Registration is required even if your company qualifies for 0% corporate tax
DSO companies may be eligible as Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZP)
Failure to register can result in FTA administrative penalties

Being licensed in a Free Zone does not remove the obligation to register for corporate tax.

Who Must Register for Corporate Tax in DSO?

Corporate tax registration applies to all legal entities licensed under DSO, including:

DSO Free Zone companies
Technology, IT, software, and innovation-focused businesses
Startups, SMEs, and multinational companies
Consultancy and service providers
Holding and investment companies
Branches registered in Dubai Silicon Oasis

Even if your company:

Has not started operations
Has no revenue or profits
Qualifies for corporate tax exemptions

👉 Corporate tax registration is still mandatory.

Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) in DSO

Many DSO companies may qualify for a 0% corporate tax rate under the Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) regime.

QFZP Conditions Include:

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

⚠️ Important:

QFZP status does not eliminate the obligation to register for corporate tax. Proper registration is required to benefit from Free Zone incentives.

Our experts assess eligibility and ensure accurate classification during registration.
