🚨 AED 10,000. That's the FTA penalty for registering late for UAE Corporate Tax.
Good news: it can still be WAIVED — but only if you file your first return within 7 months of your tax period ending.
For a 31 Dec 2025 year-end, that's 31 July 2026. After that, the waiver is gone.
Late filing is separate: AED 500/month, rising to AED 1,000. And it applies even to 0% Free Zone companies and nil returns.
