A UAE app called EmaraTax can help with 15 corporate tax details, including registering

Users can now tap up to 15 corporate tax requirements using the FTA's app.

With the EmaraTax app from the Federal Tax Authority, you can access up to 15 corporate tax services, including registering for the tax. In addition to updating registration data, de-registering, managing accounts, and updating banking information, users can also use it to change their registration information.

In October last year, the EmaraTax app was launched as part of the FTA's outreach to facilitate voluntary compliance. Apple App Store and Google Play users can download it.

With the app, customers can also conduct procedures related to VAT and excise taxes, such as registering, submitting tax returns, paying taxes due, requesting tax refunds for eligible categories, and requesting reconsideration, among other things.

According to Khalid Ali Al Bustani, FTA's Director-General, said:
“The Federal Tax Authority has provided the EmaraTax smart application, offering taxpayers 35 digital tax services, in line with the Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme launched by the UAE Government.”

“The FTA has set ambitious development plans, in line with the Government Services Quality Charter, implementing effective transformation measures to minimise the number of required documents for service provision as much as possible.”

Abdulla Al Bastaki, Executive Director of the Information Technology Sector at the FTA, said:
“This direction we are taking is a continuation of the Federal Tax Authority’s ongoing development plans. Less than two years ago, the Authority activated the EmaraTax digital tax services platform using the latest technologies used in the tax field worldwide. The smart app forms part of the Authority’s continuous plans to update its services and in preparation for a more advanced future. The main and ultimate goal we aim to achieve is to establish the FTA as a world-leading tax authority.”

“The Authority has been collaborating with its partners in all relevant sectors to develop the app, in an effort to spearhead a significant leap forward in terms of enhancing the tax system and achieving the FTA’s strategic goal to lead a digital transformation across all of its services, allowing for the app’s upgraded services to integrate with the modern services provided by other relevant government entities,” Al Bastaki continued.

“As part of this collaboration, the app relies on the unified access digital identity solution UAE PASS for all procedures and services provided by the FTA through the app.”

“As part of its approach to engaging stakeholders in the ongoing development processes for tax systems, the FTA consulted with taxpayers and stakeholders across the UAE tax system, taking their opinions into account while developing the app, after taking note of their experiences using the EmaraTax platform,” Al Bastaki noted, asserting that the FTA always welcomes feedback and opinions from taxpayers.
