Digital Platform To Ease UAE Tax Payment and Refund

The UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) will launch the new "EmaraTax" integrated platform later in 2022. The platform will enhance the taxpayers access to FTA’s services, pay their taxes and obtain refunds.

The new platform also greatly enhances the ability of the FTA to administer taxes in the UAE, enables better, faster decision-making and earlier engagement with taxpayers that need support.

Individual taxpayers, tax agents, legal representatives, foreign missions and diplomats, customs bodies and verification agencies will all benefit from the range of new developments that EmaraTax brings to life.

The new platform is a modern tax administration ecosystem that integrates with other influential government entities such as the UAE Central Bank and national technology-based programs including UAE PASS to simplify to make the best use of common data and in so doing simplify a range of user processes, from logging-in to compiling tax returns. In addition, EmaraTax is mobile-ready, and the App will be launched shortly after the new platform goes live in November 2022.

FTA’s new system aligns with the UAE Digital Government Strategy 2025 and the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to leverage emerging technologies and build a solid digital infrastructure that serves the people and business community of the UAE.
