The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) asserted that all preparations were complete by the system operator ahead of launching phase two of the tax refunds for tourists scheme next Sunday (December 16), whereby the scheme would cover 12 air, land, and sea ports across the country.
Phase two comes on the heels of the previous phase of implementing the nationwide scheme, which went into effect on November 18, covering Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah

In a press statement issued by the authority, the FTA explained that phase two of the scheme would cover three additional airports: Al Ain International Airport, Al Maktoum International Airport, and Ras Al Khaimah International Airport; two sea ports: Zayed Port in Abu Dhabi and Port Rashid in Dubai; and four land ports: Al Ghuwaifat Border Post in Abu Dhabi, Hili Border Port and Al Madheef Border Crossing in Al Ain, and Dubai’s Hatta Border Exit.
