Corporate Tax late-registration penalty - Failure to submit a Corporate Tax registration application within the FTA-specified timeframe
A fixed AED 10,000 administrative penalty applies. The FTA operated a waiver (announced 29 April 2025) cancelling/refunding the AED 10,000 where the first CT return or annual declaration is filed within 7 months of the end of the first tax period.
VAT / Corporate Tax administrative penalties and assessments - Late registration, late filing, late payment, or errors found on audit
Penalties are set by the Cabinet Decision on administrative penalties; a taxable person may request reconsideration by the FTA, then escalate to the Tax Disputes Resolution Committee, then the courts. Confirm the current penalty schedule and reconsideration deadline from the FTA before publishing. (not verified against the authority's own page)
Trademark examination / objection - Objection raised on examination, or a third-party opposition within 30 days of publication in the Trademarks Bulletin
Respond within the period set by MOET; the objection window is 30 days from the Bulletin. Cabinet Resolution 102 of 2025 introduced separate appeal fees for the applicant and the opponent against opposition decisions.
UBO non-compliance notice - Failure to maintain or file the Real Beneficiary register under Cabinet Decision 109 of 2023
Rectify the register/filing; administrative penalties escalate up to AED 100,000 and can include licence suspension. (not verified against the authority's own page)
