Through this service, the FTA issues a Clarification which is an official, signed, and stamped document in response to a query by the applicant regarding the tax treatment of specific transactions.

• Documentary proof to support the factual and legal grounds on which the request is based (e.g. sample invoices, contracts, payment slips or other).
• Valid Passport copy.
• A scan of a signed document proving that the authorized signatory has the necessary authority.

1. This service must not be used to request an exception from paying taxes or waiving/reducing penalties.
2. If the application is incomplete, or additional information is required, additional documentation may be requested. After submitting the additional documentation, it may take the FTA a further 50 business days to respond to the updated request.
3. When filling in the form, the applicant must refrain from only referring to the required documents, and should rather provide a brief summary of what is contained within the required documents.
