H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum:

  • These decisions bring an added layer of transparency to the Authority’s relationship with its customers, providing extra incentive for stakeholders and all concerned parties to abide by tax regulations.
The UAE Council of Ministers has adopted Cabinet Decision No. (39) of 2017 on Fees for Services Provided by the Federal Tax Authority and Cabinet Resolution No. (40) of 2017 on Administrative Penalties for Violations of Tax Laws in the UAE.

The Council’s meeting was chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Ruler of Dubai.

“These decisions bring an added layer of transparency to the Authority’s relationship with its customers,” said H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance. “This, in turn, provides extra incentive for stakeholders and all concerned parties to abide by tax regulations.”

“All customers can refer to the official Directory of Services Fees to know what is required of them to be in compliance with tax procedures,” H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid explained. “The Directory is based on thorough studies that seek to provide the highest-quality service for the lowest cost, which resonates with the FTA’s mission and vision.”
