Tax Authority’s Second 2023 Forum Witnesses Gathering of 204 Accredited Tax Agents
The Tax Authority recently hosted its second Tax Agents Forum of 2023, bringing together 204 accredited Tax Agents to discuss compliance requirements and procedures for the Corporate Tax law.
A Meeting of Tax Professionals
The Tax Authority emphasized the pivotal role that accredited Tax Agents play in helping taxpayers, particularly those subject to Corporate Tax, comply with tax laws seamlessly, efficiently, and accurately. The Authority underscored the rigorous standards applied to practicing the Tax Agent profession, ensuring the highest level of competence among accredited agents.
A Communication Plan in Action
As part of its ongoing communication plan, the Tax Authority organized the forum to introduce its strategic partners to the latest developments in the tax sector. During the forum, Tax Agents were urged to intensify their efforts, in collaboration with the Authority, to support taxpayers who wish to work with Tax Agents, assisting them in ensuring tax compliance, especially during this critical stage with the implementation of the Corporate Tax Law.
Expanding the Taxpayer Base
The Tax Authority’s Director of Taxpayer Services, Zahra Al Dahmani, reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to organizing regular awareness meetings with all stakeholders in the government and private sectors. She explained that the number of accredited Tax Agents is constantly increasing, in parallel with the ongoing expansion of the taxpayer base. This provides greater options for those who choose to deal with the Authority through Tax Agents, which, in turn, serves to increase tax compliance rates.
A Detailed Presentation
The Tax Authority representatives gave a detailed presentation during the forum, highlighting the compliance requirements and procedures for the Corporate Tax law and the criteria for determining taxpayers subject to Corporate Tax law. They also discussed the various services provided through the EmaraTax digital tax services platform, which allows for carrying out registration procedures, filing Tax Returns, and paying due taxes with clear and easy steps.
