EmaraTax is the FTA's single online portal for every UAE tax obligation — Corporate Tax, VAT, Excise, refunds and payments. It is 100% online: no branch visits, no paper filings. This walkthrough shows the flows we use daily so you can self-serve or supervise your accountant with confidence.
Getting an EmaraTax account
- Sign up with UAE Pass (recommended) or email and OTP
- Verify email and mobile — required before any submission
- Add a Taxable Person profile for each entity you manage
Registrations you can complete online
- Corporate Tax registration (issues CT TRN)
- VAT registration and deregistration
- Excise Tax registration
- Tax Group formation (VAT and CT)
- Warehouse keeper and designated zone registration
Filing and paying
- Returns are prepared inside the portal — no upload template required
- Each taxable person has a unique GIBAN — use it as the bank beneficiary IBAN to pay
- Payments settle to the correct tax account automatically
Always pay from a UAE bank account in the entity's name — mismatched payer names delay allocation.
Refunds and clarifications
Excess VAT can be refunded via the VAT311 request. Clarification requests (private rulings on complex positions) are also raised through EmaraTax — the FTA typically responds within 40 business days.
