Tax Clearance Certificate in UAE

A Tax Clearance Certificate in the UAE serves as official confirmation that a tax-registered entity has fulfilled all outstanding tax obligations or is not liable for any taxes.

What are the benefits of adhering to UAE tax regulations? Obtaining a Tax Clearance Certificate ensures compliance with the law, helping you avoid penalties for non-compliance. It also enhances your reputation as a responsible and compliant business, safeguarding your standing in the marketplace and fostering trust with stakeholders.

So, how would someone know that you comply with all tax requirements in UAE?

A Tax Clearance Certificate is the ideal solution for businesses seeking confirmation of their tax compliance. Issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), this certificate verifies that you have settled all your tax liabilities in the UAE.

The Tax Clearance Certificate serves as definitive proof that a tax-registered entity has either paid all outstanding taxes or is not liable for any. It is particularly essential in the following situations:

  • When another entity is looking to acquire your business
  • During the liquidation or bankruptcy process
  • When deregistering from VAT due to sales falling below mandatory or voluntary thresholds

The FTA introduced this certificate to promote adherence to UAE tax laws and regulations. If your tax obligations are fully up to date, it is advisable to apply for a Tax Clearance Certificate. However, if you apply and the FTA identifies any unpaid taxes, the certificate will not be granted.

Without a Tax Clearance Certificate, businesses may face difficulties fulfilling certain legal and operational requirements. Therefore, securing this certificate from the FTA is a smart and necessary step to ensure your business remains compliant and positioned for future success.

FAQs

What happens after the submission of the application for a tax clearance certificate?

Once your tax clearance certificate submission is successful, the system generates a reference number. You can check the status of your application on the dashboard. If the FTA rejects it, you must create a new tax clearance certificate request. If the FTA accepts it, you will receive a notification of the acceptance, followed by the tax clearance certificate.

Authorities or other parties may ask taxpayers for tax clearance certificates: Before merger and acquisition transactions, Before liquidating the firm, While changing the owners, As proof for accessing certain banking facilities, As evidence for issuing a visa

Should we take any steps before applying for a tax clearance certificate in UAE?

When you apply for a tax clearance certificate, there are chances that FTA conducts a tax audit on your firm. If you are non-compliant with tax laws, a tax liability may arise in your name. So, you must be careful about that. For tax registrants, a tax audit occurs. For non-tax registrants, you must prove to the FTA that you are not subject to tax registration. Thus, before applying for a tax clearance certificate in UAE, you must review your tax approaches, liabilities, and records. Check that you are compliant with all the relevant tax requirements in UAE. If you are non-compliant, make a compliance plan and meet all the tax requirements.
