The EmaraTax system is in the final stages of readiness. The exact launch date will be announced soon.

EmaraTax will significantly enhance the way that taxpayers can access the 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.

Your account history will be automatically transferred to EmaraTax when the system launches.

No, EmaraTax will include all of the functions that are currently available on the legacy system.  

Whilst a number of important improvements have been made to the way you will access and use our systems, we are striving to limit the impact on users. We would expect that most current users will need to spend approximately 3 hours in preparing for the new system including, updating user account details; watching “how to” videos and reading user manuals. 

If you are a registered user, you will be notified via your registered email on the next steps. Meanwhile, you can follow us on social media to stay up to date with EmaraTax developments.

Over the course of the next few weeks, the FTA will release more information about the features of EmaraTax and how to transition to the new system.
