About Federal Tax Authority

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) is the UAE Government entity responsible for administering, collecting, and enforcing federal taxes, playing a vital role in supporting the nation's long-term fiscal sustainability and economic diversification. Since its establishment, the FTA has successfully implemented and overseen Value Added Tax (VAT) and Excise Tax, and has introduced the UAE Corporate Tax framework — landmark milestones that have strengthened the UAE's position as a globally competitive and business-friendly economy. The FTA is guided by three fundamental priorities: ensuring the UAE remains affordable and attractive for citizens, residents, and businesses; enhancing the UAE's appeal as a premier destination for international investment; and delivering a tax system that is transparent, efficient, and straightforward to comply with. Built on international best practices and a commitment to innovation and digital excellence, the FTA continues to develop its services and regulatory framework, enabling businesses and individuals to meet their tax obligations with ease while contributing to the UAE's vision for a prosperous and sustainable future.
