The Federal Tax Authority has urged companies to prepare early for the Sept. 30, 2026 deadline for corporate tax filings and payments.

Taxable persons whose financial year ended on Dec. 31, 2025 must submit their tax returns and pay any corporate tax due within nine months of the end of their tax period. The requirement includes businesses eligible for Small Business Relief.

The authority also reminded exempt persons that they must register with the FTA to file annual declarations within nine months of the end of their financial year. It encouraged all concerned to have the required documents ready so they can complete their obligations within the statutory deadlines.

Registration, tax-return filing and payment are available around the clock through the EmaraTax digital tax services platform. Taxable persons can file directly online or seek assistance through the platform.
