UAE tax deadlines for 2026

UAE tax deadlines for 2026 depend on your tax type and reporting period; there is no single filing day for every Gulf business.

Plan your corporate tax deadline

General nine-month rule. Verify your actual period and any applicable exception with the FTA.

Estimate only. Review the facts with your tax adviser.

Enter your figures, then calculate.

Corporate tax follows the tax period

The general UAE corporate tax filing and payment deadline is nine months after the end of the relevant tax period. For a period ending 31 December 2025, that points to 30 September 2026.

VAT has its own timetable

Check the period and due date assigned to your registration. Do not use your corporate tax year-end as a substitute for the VAT return calendar.

US filings need a separate calendar

An overseas address does not make every US tax and information-return deadline the same. Ask us to review returns, extensions, payments and foreign account reporting together.

Calendar with a tax day reminder

A calculation is a start.
The facts decide the return.

Bring the numbers and the questions behind them.
