FTA resumes Tax Clinic initiative in Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah
Dubai September 12, 2022:
The Tax Clinic initiative organised by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) resumed its field activities across the emirates with sessions in Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah. The sessions were designed to raise tax awareness and enhance tax compliance , while establishing and maintaining direct communication with business sectors,.
Two rounds of sessions were held last month under the campaign. The first of which was held over three days from 16 to 18 August at Tasheel Enjaz – Alrams Centre in Ras Al Khaimah, while the second round took place at the Tasheel-Al Thiqah Multi-Services Centre in Mleiha in the Emirate of Sharjah from 23 to 25 August.
The Tax Clinic initiative was launched way back in August 2018 in all seven emirates to raise tax awareness, assist taxpayers in overcoming any obstacles they face and ensure self-compliance. FTA representatives present across all locations answer questions about registration, how to file tax returns and pay tax-related obligations. FTA organized these remote awareness sessions under the Tax Clinic initiative for more than two years, bringing together hundreds of business sector representatives and tax system stakeholders.
FTA Director General His Excellency Khalid Ali Al Bustani said “The Federal tax Authority organizes the Tax Clinic campaign in collaboration with Departments of Economic Development and municipalities across all seven emirates, under the framework the FTA established for coordinating with its strategic partners in the public and private sectors providing top-quality services and ensuring the successful implementation of tax legislation.”
