Onboarding on FTA and DigiTax UAE

This is a primer on how to onboard to FTA with DigiTax as your ASP

Introduction

Some definitions first:

  • VAT - Value Added Tax

  • TIN - Tax Identification Number

  • TRN - Tax Registration Number

In the UAE, there are three taxpayer personas:

  1. VAT taxpayer - Hold both a TIN and a TRN

  2. VAT Group taxpayer - Contain more than 1 VAT taxpayer - Hold a TRN and several TINs

  3. Corporate tax taxpayer - Hold a TIN, but no TRN

Thank you for considering DigiTax as an ASP.

Below we'll cover either of three flows to get you onboarded.

Onboarding starting from DigiTax

Steps:

  1. Sign up on DigiTax

  2. Sign in on DigiTax

  3. Create a UAE profile

  4. Create a business

  5. Open the business and follow the steps outlined

The follow-up steps will be either of the next two, with the last step omitted (i.e., creating a business on DigiTax)

Onboarding starting from EmaraTax for the first time

Steps:

  1. Sign in on EmaraTax

  2. Navigate to E-Invoicing

  3. Search for Namiri in the list of ASPs for onboarding

  4. On that row with Namiri, click on Onboard, which navigates you to a DigiTax page where you'll follow the 3-step wizard to link your business

You'll need to create a business on DigiTax during this last step.

Onboarding starting from EmaraTax when switching from another ASP

Steps:

  1. Sign in on EmaraTax

  2. Navigate to E-Invoicing
