Khalid Ali Al Bustani, Director-General of the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), asserted that the Authority is continuously launching more initiatives to speed up tax procedures, as part of the UAE’s Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme, which aims to reduce the duration of government services by 50 percent.
Al Bustani noted that the FTA is intensifying its efforts to introduce new services and facilities, further minimising procedures, and reducing service completion times, in line with the Programme’s objective to eliminate 2,000 government procedures in a year’s time.
The FTA Director-General, speaking at a workshop organized by the Innovation Team in collaboration with the 01Gov platform, highlighted the significance of the Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme. The workshop aimed to engage participants in contributing to this initiative, focusing on enhancing efficiency, quality, and flexibility in tax services.
Al Bustani encouraged stakeholders to share ideas for sustainable development, emphasizing the importance of practical experiences and innovative solutions to streamline government procedures, reduce transaction times, and simplify processes.
The Federal Tax Authority explained that the workshop on the Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme discussed proposals of ideas to further reduce the time and effort required to complete services by analysing and improving key services, eliminating unnecessary procedures and requirements, and delivering services effectively and efficiently to all client categories.
For its part, the FTA’s Innovation Team confirmed that the proposals and recommendations put forward during the workshop would be taken into consideration in the Authority’s ongoing development plans across all areas of its work, as well as in its efforts to support community service initiatives and drive sustainable development.
