This version focuses on tax-specific milestones (VAT, CT, accounting records).
UAE Tax Compliance Calendar
Personalised tax compliance timeline: VAT returns, Corporate Tax filing, licence renewal, payroll WPS, and UBO updates.
Who is this for? Finance teams and founders managing post-licence tax obligations.
Quick answer
UAE businesses typically juggle VAT returns (28 days after period end), CT registration and 9-month post-FY filing, annual licence renewal, WPS payroll, and UBO updates — this calendar combines them in one view.
KPM consultant insight
Post-licence compliance is where most SMEs slip — we bundle accounting, VAT, and CT so nothing falls between tools.
FTA explains the law — KPM helps you apply it to your business setup, banking, and cash flow.
Official source basis
Federal Tax Authority (tax.gov.ae) public guidance. KPM Global simplified this for business owners — not a substitute for official FTA advice or EmaraTax records.
