The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has introduced several enhancements to the Emara Tax Portal, aimed at improving user experience and streamlining key compliance processes for the registrants. The key updates and enhancements are summarized below.
1. Amendment to Taxable Person Details
The Taxable Person amendment application now includes an option to update authorized signatory details for both VAT and Corporate Tax. This enables users to submit a single amendment application to update all key taxpayer details in one place
2. Authorized Signatory or Manager Details Update
The portal now provides an option to fetch certain information from the UAE Pass linked to the Emara Tax account. Additionally, if a person’s details are already registered with the FTA, entering their Emirates ID and ID expiry date will automatically populate all other information, including attachments, eliminating the need for manual entry or reattachment
3. Corporate Tax Return Downloads in PDF Format
Corporate Tax returns are now available for download in PDF format, like VAT returns. Taxpayers can easily access and download their returns with a single click through the Emara Tax portal, enhancing accessibility and record-keeping
4. Introduction of the “My Audit” Tab
The FTA has introduced a new “My Audit” tab on the Emara Tax Portal, which may replace the current system of email notifications for the FTA audits. This centralized, user-friendly feature enables taxpayers to manage audit communications and updates directly within the portal, improving efficiency, transparency, and control throughout the audit process.
The developments reflect the FTA’s ongoing commitment to digital transformation and enhancing service efficiency across the UAE tax system.
