Overview
Tax Compliance Calendar UAE — what UAE businesses need to know
UAE businesses juggle multiple compliance dates: VAT returns (28 days after period end), Corporate Tax registration after licensing, CT returns within 9 months of financial year end, annual licence renewal, monthly WPS salary transfers, and beneficial ownership register updates.
Missing a VAT or CT deadline triggers FTA penalties even when no tax is due. New companies often focus on the licence and overlook post-licence tax obligations.
KPM Global provides personalised compliance calendars and retainer filing so VAT, Corporate Tax, and accounting close align with your licence and payroll cycle.
