A Corporate Tax return follows the company’s own tax period. The Federal Tax Authority’s notice of 26 September 2026 says taxable persons file and pay within nine months from the end of each tax period. That rule does not become a due date until the period itself is known.
File and pay within nine months after the end of that person’s tax period, through EmaraTax. The returns guide describes this as self-assessment. The period shown in EmaraTax comes from the registration and has to be checked before filing. Exempt persons who must register file an annual declaration on the same nine-month measure.
It will not turn “nine months” into your deadline without the tax period. It will not compute liability. A provider’s filing, and the acknowledgement stored afterwards, show that a return was submitted. They do not certify that every figure is right.
Small Business Relief, in the FTA’s 2026 small-business bulletin, is an election on the return. The bulletin describes it for a resident taxable person whose revenue is at or below AED 3 million in the relevant tax period and in previous tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026, and it excludes a qualifying free zone person and a member of a multinational enterprise group. AskVi does not decide that election.
