The decision reflects the Authority\u2019s commitment to guiding taxable persons and ensuring their full compliance to avoid administrative penalties.<\/p>\n<p>The Authority pointed out that registration in the system is free of charge and available 24\/7 through the FTA website. Businesses are required to access the website: www.tax.gov.ae; go to the e-Services portal and set up an account by clicking on \u201cRegistration\u201d. A verification email is then sent, following which the account is accessible through \u201cLogin\u201d button. Users can then begin the 3-step registration process by going to \u201cCreate an Account\u201d, filling the form, and finally, clicking \u201cSubmit for Approval\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3861 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/vat.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"536\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/vat.png 536w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/vat-269x300.png 269w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 536px) 100vw, 536px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) reaffirmed that registering for Value Added Tax (VAT) can be done in three easy steps through the e-Services portal on the Authority\u2019s website, taking no longer than 15-20 minutes.
