Federal Tax Authority · Hackathon 2026
A one-day sprint for trusted, human-supervised AI agents in tax services.
The Federal Tax Authority invites innoVATors, technology specialists, tax professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers and students to take part in The Agentic Tax Hackathon 2026 — a one-day sprint for trusted, human-supervised AI agents in tax services.
Participants will address the announced FTA challenges and develop practical concepts that improve compliance support, taxpayer journeys and responsive services. Solutions should demonstrate public value, responsible AI, data protection, security and a realistic route to adoption.
Teams are encouraged to arrive with a prepared solution concept or demonstrable foundation. Approved vibe-coding tools may be used in line with event rules, data-security requirements and responsible-AI principles.
The Challenge aims to:
Develop practical, human-supervised agentic AI solutions for priority tax-service challenges.
Bring government, the priVATe sector, academia and the innoVATion community together to explore responsible tax-service innoVATion.
Support the Authority's ambition for more proactive, connected and trusted taxpayer journeys.
Showcase solutions that are useful, secure, governed and capable of progressing toward implementation.
One day, 08:00–16:00: challenge exploration, solution development, pitch preparation, workshop, demonstrations, judging and recognition.
Participants who present pioneering, high-impact solutions will receive recognition from the Federal Tax Authority and may have opportunities to engage with the Authority's innoVATion ecosystem.
The top three winning teams will receive valuable prizes in recognition of the quality, relevance, practical impact and adoption potential of their solutions.
The Agentic Tax Hackathon 2026 is open to UAE nationals and residents with an interest in building responsible, intelligent and impactful tax-service solutions, including:
Developers, AI specialists, data scientists, cybersecurity specialists and UI/UX designers.
University students, researchers, faculty members and emerging technology talent.
Tax professionals, financial-technology innoVATors, entrepreneurs and corporate innoVATion teams.
Individuals and multidisciplinary teams ready to configure, adapt and demonstrate a working solution during the event.
A judging panel will evaluate the solution each team presents against the six criteria below:
Does the solution address one of the announced FTA challenges and meet a real, important need of taxpayers or FTA staff?
Does the agent complete a multi-step task toward a clear goal, accurately and consistently in the live demonstration, including at least one difficult case?
Are the limits on what the agent can do alone clear, and can the user review, approve or stop its actions and see what it did?
Does the design of the solution protect sensitive tax data and prevent misuse of access and actions?
Could the solution connect to FTA systems and processes and move to a pilot within a realistic timeframe?
Does the team explain the problem, the solution and the working demo clearly, within the time allowed?
Join The Agentic Tax Hackathon 2026 and turn your team's capability into a responsible, practical and demonstrable solution with public value.
