The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) called on businesses registered for tax purposes not to disclose their financial or tax data to any person or organisation that is not officially authorised to deal with such data.
The authority stressed in a statement that it is necessary to remain vigilant about messages received via e-mail or mobile phone and not to share tax registration numbers (TRN) or financial account numbers with any entity. The FTA urged all registered businesses to maintain the confidentiality of their data, noting that it did not authorise any entity to request tax-related financial or accounting information or any other matters relating to tax registrants.
Businesses registered with the authority for tax purposes can submit their tax returns within the deadline and pay taxes due for specific tax periods by visiting the e-Services portal on the FTA website.
