How Can I Amend the Corporate Tax Registration Under the Emaratax Portal?

After the introduction of the CT in June 2023, multiple business entities were required to get themselves registered under the new regime. The eligible entities were required to get themselves registered in order to avoid any compliance issue. Further, non-registration under the regime would also attract penalties from the FTA. After getting registered, many entities might have come across certain changes in their business structure or any other aspects of the business operations that might require certain amendments, which are to be made in the CT registration.

The FTA has, in order to assist the registered entities to get their CT registration amended, issued certain guidelines, which could enable the tax persons to navigate through the emara tax portal and get the CT registration amended.

The key point that is to be kept in mind is that not all fields in the portal can be changed or amended. The ones with the gray shade can be amended with the amend functionality from the taxable person details tab. To facilitate the amendments in the emara tax portal, the taxpayer must be registered and must also have applied for the amendment and received approval from the authority. 

Steps to Amend The CT Registration

In order to amend the UAE corporate tax registration, the taxable person should follow the following process to avoid any further complexities:

• The first step includes the login process, where the taxpayer must login to the Emara tax account with the help of the login credentials or with the UAE pass. It is quite common to forget your credentials for login, but no worries, you can click on the forgot password tab and get it reset.

• After logging in to the account, you can see the home page, where you must click on the taxable person list and click view in order to get the dashboard opened for the further process.
• Then after that, in order to start the process of amendment of CT registration, click on the 3 dots (...), which are shown on the corporate tax tile in the page, and then you might get a list of options from which you should select amend.
• After clicking on the said option, you might come across a page called "Instructions and Guidelines," which would state the requirements and documents that are to be maintained before you start the process of amending your CT registration. After getting the knowledge of the required documents and information that is to be maintained, click on the confirm button at the bottom in order to proceed with the amendment process.
• Then click on the start button in the bottom right side of the page to move to the next step. The next page that will be opened is the entity details section, which will include five subsections. The taxpayers should carefully review each section and fill out all the mandatory fields; only then can you move to the next section. The entities are required to make sure they have all the up-to-date information and documents. After completing each section, the progress can be seen on the topside in the progress bar.
• Click on the enable editing option visible on the right side of the page, which would enable you to make the amendments in the entity details section.
• If you have not sorted the information and documents required for the amendment or if you face any network issue, then you can get your application saved as draft by clicking on the right bottom side save as draft option, and then you can continue working later on.
• After completing the amendments, click on the next step button to move to the next section, and make the amendments if any. Remember, the gray-shaded fields cannot be amended. While reaching the contact details section, ensure that the contact number, email ID, and other important contact information are updated and valid.
• You can also make the amendments in the authorized signatory section, where you can either add or remove the signatories with the required documents and information. After reaching the last section where you can review and provide a declaration, ensure to go through all the information provided and the amendments made to avoid rejection or resubmission of the application.
• After reviewing the application, click on the declaration button at the bottom, submit the application, and click yes. After the submission, the taxpayer will be notified via mail regarding the rejection or approval of the application. If the taxpayer is required to furnish any further documents, then the FTA will contact them through the mail.
• You will be provided with a reference number, which should be noted down in order to get further communication with the FTA. In order to get the real-time updates, the taxpayer can visit the portal to check.
