How Late Filing Penalties Apply in Dubai
Late corporate tax return filing penalties are imposed under Cabinet Decision No. (75) of 2023. Penalties are calculated monthly and continue until the tax return is submitted. The penalty structure increases after prolonged non-compliance, making early corrective action essential. Penalties are applied independently of tax payable amounts and do not require a tax audit to be imposed.
