How Can I Amend the Corporate Tax Registration Under the Emaratax Portal
In June 2023, the UAE introduced corporate tax (CT) for businesses. Every eligible business must register for CT. If a business doesn’t register, it can face penalties from the FTA. After registration, a company might need to change its CT registration because of changes in business structure or operations. Making these changes is important for staying compliant and avoiding problems.
The FTA wants to help registered businesses keep their information up-to-date. So, the FTA created clear guidelines for amending CT registration in the Emaratax portal. These steps make it easier for you to manage your tax information.
Key Points About Amendments
- Not every field in the portal can be changed.
- Only fields with gray shading can be amended using the amend option under the taxable person details tab.
- The taxpayer must already be registered before starting an amendment.
- You must apply for the amendment and get approval from the authority.

You must follow each step carefully to avoid mistakes:
- First, log in to your Emaratax account. You can use your regular login credentials or your UAE Pass.
