Exciting Update for UAE Businesses: Seamless Entity Type Change Now Available on EmaraTax!
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has introduced a significant update to the EmaraTax portal to simplify life for taxable persons and businesses across the UAE. With this new feature, taxable persons can change their entity type directly on the FTA portal without going through the lengthy process of de-registration and re-registration.
This update provides businesses with much-needed flexibility and administrative efficiency, allowing them to transition smoothly from one entity type to another without disrupting operations or incurring additional administrative burdens.
What’s New?
Previously, UAE businesses had to undergo a cumbersome process to change their entity type. This involved de-registering the old entity and registering a new one, which could be time-consuming and lead to temporary disruptions in tax compliance.
However, with the new update, businesses can seamlessly switch their entity type within the EmaraTax portal, eliminating the need for de-registration. This is a major step forward in simplifying tax administration in the UAE.
How Does It Work?
Changing your entity type on the FTA portal is now a straightforward process. Here’s how you can make the switch:
- Provide a Reason for the Change
Taxable persons must submit a valid reason for requesting the entity type change. This could include business restructuring, legal changes, or operational needs. Make sure to clearly state the rationale behind the switch to avoid any delays. - Submit Supporting Documentation
Along with your reason, you will need to upload the necessary supporting documents that prove the change. This could include amended legal agreements, resolutions, or any other documentation that supports the new entity type.
Once these steps are completed, the FTA will process your request without the need for de-registration, making the transition smooth and efficient.
