Clarifications and Reconsiderations

When businesses face issues that are not clearly addressed by existing legislation or guidelines, they may request a clarification from the FTA, which serves as a private ruling.

 At BDO UAE, we assist businesses in obtaining clarifications by:

• Review the background and context of the issue.
• Help assess potential technical positions based on legislation and guidance.
• Draft and submitting the CT clarification request to the FTA.

 Additionally, we assist businesses in filing appeals through the reconsideration process. This allows taxable entities to request the FTA to reconsider decisions related to corporate tax, including assessments and penalties.

We guide businesses through the reconsideration process by:

• Understand the reasons and facts leading to the FTA’s penalty imposition.
• Assist in drafting and submitting the reconsideration application and supporting letter to the FTA.
