Corporate Tax Reconsideration
Simplify Compliance, Maximize Savings
HAS Global Tax Consultants offers professional Corporate Tax Reconsideration in UAE services in Dubai and across the country, helping businesses challenge and appeal Federal Tax Authority (FTA) decisions that may be incorrect or unfair.
What is a Corporate Tax Reconsideration?
Any UAE business or individual who has received an official decision from the FTA can submit a reconsideration request. For tax groups, the representative member must file the request.
Key Steps in the Tax Reconsideration Process
Eligibility Check: Confirm the FTA’s decision is eligible for reconsideration (not just a response to an inquiry or clarification).
Timely Submission: File your request within 40 business days from the date of the FTA decision.
Document Preparation: Prepare a detailed explanation, supporting evidence, and all required documents in Arabic.
Application Submission: Submit your reconsideration request through the FTA’s EmaraTax portal.
FTA Review: The FTA reviews your case and typically responds within 45 business days.
What FTA Decisions Can Be Challenged?
Assessments and penalties: Decisions on the amount of tax due or penalties imposed.
Registration decisions: Decisions to refuse, cancel or amend a registration.
Refund decisions: Decisions to refuse or reduce a refund.
Reconsideration is for decisions the FTA has issued. It does not apply to a general inquiry response or a private clarification. For those, see our private tax clarification service.
After the FTA Decides
Decision changed: If the FTA accepts your request, the original decision is amended or cancelled.
Decision upheld: If the FTA rejects your request, you may have the right to take the matter to the Tax Disputes Resolution Committee, within the time limit set by law.
Our role: We explain the outcome, advise on next steps, and prepare any further appeal.
