WHAT YOU NEED

Tax laws aren’t always black and white—especially in the UAE’s evolving VAT and Corporate Tax landscape. Our FTA Private Clarification Guide helps businesses understand when and how to request an official clarification from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) on complex tax matters.

If your business is uncertain about how tax laws apply to a specific transaction, business structure, or compliance obligation, the FTA’s Private Clarification Service provides a legally binding response tailored to your circumstances. A successful application requires a clearly defined issue, supporting documents such as financial statements, contracts, ownership structures, and relevant legal context.

Whether you need clarification on VAT for cross-border services, Free Zone Corporate Tax exemptions, deductible expenses, transfer pricing, or other complex tax matters, our experts can guide you through the entire process to help you obtain clear, authoritative guidance directly from the FTA.
