Corporate Tax Registration for Cleaning & Facilities Management Businesses

Why Corporate Tax Registration

As a rule, small Business Relief exempts revenue under AED 3 million until 2026, and qualifying free zone income can be taxed at 0%, but registration and filing are still mandatory. GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax application for Corporate Tax Registration, uploads the documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is released. Corporate Tax Registration is a sensible home for cleaning & facilities management because commercial and residential cleaning, maintenance and integrated facilities management is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
