The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) will begin operations the day after Thursday; the Council of Ministers Resolution No. 7 of 2023 on amending certain provisions of Council of Ministers Resolution No. 65 of 2020 on fees for services provided by the Federal Tax Authority will take effect on June 1, 2023.
The authority explained that the new decision specified the fees for providing the " Special Clarification Request Related to One Tax" Service and for submitting a " Special Clarification Request Related to More Than One Tax" Service, highlighting that the special clarification according to the decision is the clarification issued by the authority in the form of a document stamped and signed by the federal tax authority on specific tax technical issues for a specific taxpayer.
The authority noted that under the new decision, the authority may refund the fees paid by the applicant for requesting a " special clarification related to one tax" or a " special clarification related to more than one tax" if the authority does not issue the required special clarification.
She emphasized that it is possible to apply for two services to obtain a " special clarification related to one tax" and a " special clarification related to more than one tax" through the website of the Federal Tax Authority, which requires user registration, completion of the application, submission of the required supporting documents, and payment of the fees specified by Cabinet Resolution No. 65 of 2020 and its amendments.
