The Federal Tax Authority, FTA, has confirmed
that businesses are not required to present a tax certificate in order to
conduct their commercial activities and can simply use their Tax Registration
Number, TRN.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the
Authority called on all businesses and stakeholders in the UAE to carry out
commercial or other transactions using TRNs provided by businesses, urging them
not to require tax certificates in order to ensure smooth operations and
minimise disruption of work.
The Authority stressed that tax registration
certificate cannot be printed or downloaded using provisional Tax Registration
Number. However, businesses that have acquired their TRN can conduct their
business activities normally. The FTA website allows individuals to verify the
TRN of any company registered with the FTA for Value Added Tax, VAT, purposes.
The Federal Tax Authority noted that businesses
that submitted their registration applications after the deadline set by the
Authority last December were given provisional TRNs to allow them to conduct
business and comply with their tax obligations. These businesses, however, are
required to complete their tax registration and provide the authority with all
required documents and rectify any pending errors.
The provisional TRNs are sufficient for
conducting business and verifying the legal status and compliance of taxable
persons. They do not, however, allow for issuing the tax certificate, which
becomes available once the final TRN has been issued. The Authority had issued
these provisional TRNs to help businesses comply with tax regulations and to
ensure operations are not disrupted.
