UAE Corporate Tax Portal Updates: 

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has recently enhanced its online e-Services portal with key updates designed to streamline compliance under the UAE Corporate Tax (CT) law. These improvements not only simplify administrative processes but also support businesses in maintaining accurate records and ensuring regulatory transparency.

Downloadable Corporate Tax Return PDFs: Easier Record Keeping

Entities can now download both their draft and submitted Corporate Tax returns in PDF format directly from the portal, a capability that was previously unavailable. This feature allows companies to securely retain draft returns for internal reviews of management, as well as official copies of submitted returns for record-keeping and audit purposes.

To download your CT returns:

• Log in to the FTA e-Services portal using the link: Federal Tax Authority
• Navigate to “Corporate Tax” in the main menu.
• Select “Corporate Tax Filings”.
• Click “Download” under the Action Points to generate the PDF version of your Draft / filed return.

This update reduces reliance on email confirmations and manual record collection, improving efficiency and compliance reliability.

Audit Tab: Centralized Audit Communications

The newly introduced Audit Tab consolidates all FTA audit communications within the portal. This centralized hub replaces the previous email-only correspondence system, providing enhanced transparency and real-time tracking of audit progress and requests. Businesses benefit from better organization of information and timely response from management, reducing the risk of missed communications.

UAE Pass Integration: Streamlined Owner Verification

To speed up verification processes and minimize data entry errors, the portal now integrates with UAE Pass. Owner details can be automatically fetched via Emirates ID validation, eliminating the need for passport uploads and manual input. This upgrade safeguards data accuracy while easing the administrative burden on businesses.

These innovations reflect the FTA’s commitment to supporting businesses with efficient digital tools, enabling smoother Corporate Tax compliance and reporting in the UAE.
