Ras Al Khaimah: UAE Corporate Tax Registration

Businesses in Ras Al Khaimah, including local companies, foreign entities, and branches, must register for Corporate Tax if they meet the required criteria. 
​

Legal Person​​ (Juridical Person): ​

A legal person refers to an entity incorporated or otherwise established or recognized under the laws and regulations of the UAE, or under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, that has a legal personality separate from its founders, owners and directors. Separate legal personality means that the entity has its own rights, obligations and liabilities distinct from its founders or owners.

Resident ​Legal Person​​ (Juridical Person):

​A legal person is a Resident Person for the purposes of Corporate Tax in UAE if it is ​incorporated or otherwise established or recognized in the UAE (this includes juridical persons incorporated, established or otherwise registered in Free Zones) or ​incorporated or otherwise established or recognized outside the UAE but is effectively managed and controlled in the UAE.

Non Resident ​Legal Person​​ (Juridical Person):

A foreign legal person that operates in the UAE through a Permanent Establishment or that has a taxable nexus in the UAE would also be subject to Corporate Tax​

Corporate Tax Registration 

Who should register under the UAE Corporate Tax ?

A Taxable Person shall register for Corporate Tax with the Authority in the form and manner and within the timeline prescribed by the Authority and obtain a Tax Registration Number unless other wise it is exempted from the obligation of the UAE CT Registration.
Also the Taxable Persons are required to file a Corporate Tax Return, irrespective of whether they have made a profit or not. Taxable Persons with Tax Losses should ensure they file a Corporate Tax Return in order to ensure that these losses can be used to reduce Taxable Income of future Tax Periods. 

Who is a Taxable Person ? ​

​ A Person subject to Corporate Tax in the UAE under the Corporate Tax Law.

01.   Legal (juridical persons) incorporated in the United Arab Emirates

03.  A Foreign Legal (juridical persons) that operates in the United Arab Emirates through a Permanent Establishment 
04.  A Foreign Legal (juridical persons) that has a taxable nexus in the United Arab Emirates

Tax Registration : ​

Tax Registration under UAE CT is a procedure under which a Person registers for Corporate Tax purposes with the Authority. The registration for the same is to be made on the ​Emara Tax Portal of the Federal Tax Authority

Tax Registration Number (CT TRN) : ​

​Tax Registration Number under UAE CT is a unique number issued by the Federal Tax Authority to each Person who is registered for Corporate Tax purposes in the UAE. 

Where to Register for the CT TRN ? ​

Persons that are required to register for Corporate Tax will need to set up an online account on the Emara Tax Portal of the Federal Tax Authority.
