PRIVATE CLARIFICATION SERVICE

WHAT YOU NEED

Tax laws aren’t always black and white—especially in the UAE’s evolving VAT and Corporate Tax landscape. If your business faces uncertainty in applying these laws to a specific transaction or structure, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) offers a Private Clarification Service. This is a legally binding response from the FTA, tailored to your case. To request it, you’ll need a clearly defined issue, supporting documents (financials, contracts, ownership charts), and legal context.​

Whether it’s VAT on cross-border services, Free Zone CT exemptions, deductible expenses, or transfer pricing—clarity matters, and we help you get it directly from the source.
