Refund of the late Corporate Tax registration fine

The FTA has introduced a transitional concession: if a company missed the Corporate Tax registration deadline but filed its first return within 7 months of the set filing date, the AED 10,000 fine already paid can be reclaimed.

Many companies either don't know about this option or miss the return filing deadline, forfeiting the right to a refund.

Why you should leave the refund to specialists

We check whether your case meets the refund conditions, prepare the return and application on time, and correspond with the FTA until we get a result.
