Settlement of disputes
27
Dispute Resolution Options
In the event that the taxable person finds that the authority’s decision does not comply with the provisions of
tax legislation, he may appeal this decision. The authority provides three levels for settling tax disputes, the
arrangement of which is progressive, as follows:
Note: A reconsideration request is submitted by the person to the commission to reconsider its decision in respect
of it in whole or in part, provided that the request is justified.
28
Reconsideration requests
• Any person may submit a request to the Commission
to reconsider any decision issued on it, provided that
the request is reasoned, within 20 working days from
the date of notification of the decision.
29
Reconsideration request - required documents
• As part of a reconsideration request, the person must
provide the following documents:
30
Reconsideration request - fines
• Submitting a reconsideration request does not result in stopping the imposition of daily fines if the
amount of the tax due has not been paid.
• It is not within the authority of the commission to stop imposing fines as they are imposed under a text
of the law and that the commission is the body responsible for implementing and enforcing legal and
legislative provisions.
• In all cases, the taxable person must pay any tax due to cease the imposition of daily fines or other
periodic fines before submitting a reconsideration request.
• However, the Commission has a measure of discretionary power to reduce and / or exempt from fines
in specific cases and this will be considered in the context of review - as mentioned in Article (46) of
Federal Law No. (7) of 2017 regarding tax procedures and Article (26) of Cabinet Resolution No. (36) of
2017 regarding the executive regulations of Federal Law No. (7) of 2017 regarding tax procedures.
• In such cases, it should be clearly indicated in the person’s request that the request relates to the terms
and conditions of Article (46) of Federal Law No. (7) of 2017 regarding tax procedures.
• The Authority is currently studying the preparation of a separate application that is used specifically to
submit applications related to the reduction or exemption of fines.
31
Reconsideration request - fines
• And Article (46) of Federal Law No. (7) of 2017 regarding tax procedures indicates that there are conditions
and controls that must be met to reduce or exempt from administrative fines, Article (26) of the executive
regulations of the same law stipulates these controls and conditions as follows:
The person submits the evidence that justifies the existence of the excuse and the violation thereof, which led
to the imposition of administrative fines.
Notify the commission of a request to reduce or waive according to the mechanism it determines, within 10
working days of the removal of the acceptable excuse.
The person is not subject to any administrative fines in the two years prior to submitting the application.
32
Tax Dispute Resolution Committee
• The Tax Dispute Resolution Committee (the Committee) comes in the second phase of the dispute settlement
process. If the person remains dissatisfied with the commission’s decision regarding his reconsideration
request, the person may object to this decision before the Tax Dispute Resolution Committee through the
Ministry of Justice.
• The committee is considered an independent entity from the Federal Tax Authority and is formed under the
chairmanship of a member of the judiciary and two tax experts.
• There are currently three committees in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah, where the Tax Dispute
Resolution Committee in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and Dubai is competent to consider applications submitted
by taxpayers residing in the emirate, while the Tax Dispute Resolution Committee in the Emirate of Sharjah is
competent to consider applications submitted by taxpayers residing in all Northern Emirates (i.e. Emirate of
Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah).
• The Tax Dispute Resolution Committee is specialized in the following:
1. Decide on objections submitted to the decisions of the commission regarding requests for review.
2. Deciding on the reconsideration requests that were submitted to the Authority and which did not take a decision
in accordance with the provisions of the relevant law.
33
Tax Dispute Resolution Committee

submitted to the Tax Dispute Resolution Committee (the commission) within 20 working days of the date of
notification of the commission’s decision.
• The objection submitted to the committee shall not be accepted in the following cases:
1. If a request for review is not submitted to the Authority initially; or
2. If the objected tax and fines are not paid.
• The committee will study and challenge the objection within 20 working days. Noting that the committee may
extend the period for deciding the objection for a period not to exceed 20 additional working days if it considers
reasonable reasons for the purposes of deciding the objection.
• The committee’s decision is final if the total tax due and disputed administrative fines does not exceed 100,000
dirhams.
34
Appeal before the competent court
• In cases where the sum of the tax due and the disputed administrative fines
exceeds 100,000 dirhams, the authority or person may appeal the committee’s
decision before the competent court within 20 working days from the date of
notification of the decision.
• The appeal shall be before the competent court in the following two cases:
1. Objection to the committee’s decision in whole or in part; or
2. No decision was issued by the committee regarding an objection submitted to it.
• The court is the supreme authority with regard to tax appeals, so the court's
decision is final.

Cancellation of tax agent registration
The Authority will cancel the tax agent’s registration by removing its data from the tax agents record, in
case the agent does not voluntarily want to continue his role as a tax agent
Cancellation of registration is different from "striking off the agent from the registry", where the deletion
is the result of an action taken by the commission based on the performance criteria of tax agents
The prepaid tax agent registration fee of AED 3000 is considered. Not refundable even if the agent does
not complete the full 3-year registration period
Anyone wishing to cancel the registration must contact the authority to submit a request to cancel the
registration
