FAQ

UAE Corporate Tax — your questions answered

It helps if you can read a profit and loss account and a balance sheet, because Corporate Tax starts from accounting profit. That's all you need. The course brings finance staff, business owners and career-changers up to speed from the ground up. If you have no accounting background at all, our Basic Accounting training is a useful first step.

No. Registration as a Tax Agent is controlled by the Federal Tax Authority. It requires a relevant degree (or another degree plus a recognised international tax certification), at least three years of recent experience in tax, accounting or law, proficiency in Arabic or English, a pass in the FTA's Tax Agent exam and the FTA's other listed requirements. Our certification builds the practical Corporate Tax knowledge that exam tests, but it doesn't replace it.

It's built on Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 and the FTA's latest decisions and guides. Key figures include 0% tax on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above it, a 9-month deadline to file and pay after each tax period, and an AED 10,000 penalty for late registration (which can be waived if the first return is filed within 7 months). The course also covers the Ministry of Finance's 31 August 2026 announcement extending Small Business Relief, for revenue up to AED 3 million, to tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2029. We update the material whenever the FTA issues new guidance.

Most professionals complete it in 4 to 6 weeks studying part-time, with more than 30 training hours. That makes it one of the fastest ways to add a high-demand skill to your CV.

You'll practise. You work through registration, taxable-income computations, Small Business Relief elections and return filing in scenarios that mirror the FTA's EmaraTax portal. You leave able to do the work, not just describe it.

Yes. We keep this certification accessible and offer instalment options, which we explain on your free consultation call.
