As part of its ongoing commitment to excellence and human capital development, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has introduced the Tax Professionals Qualification Initiative.
This ambitious program aims to train a new generation of qualified tax experts, aligning with the Authority’s vision of investing in human capital and fostering an environment conducive to lifelong learning and development.
The initiative is designed to enhance the efficiency of the tax system, support the FTA’s strategic goals, and achieve its objectives. It is one of the Authority’s key projects aimed at bolstering the UAE tax sector by providing skilled professionals equipped to handle tax administration. Additionally, the initiative seeks to attract top talent from university students and graduates.
Moreover, the program aims to improve performance, encourage continuous learning among Tax Agents, and increase the overall efficiency of tax professionals. The FTA also aspires to raise tax awareness among the community through this initiative.
Khalid Al Bustani, Director-General of the FTA, stated:
Launching the Tax Professionals Qualification Initiative aims to enhance the Federal Tax Authority’s pioneering role in developing talent and human resources in the UAE, training them to efficiently and effectively manage tax systems. We strive to achieve these objectives by providing specialised and accredited training programmes rooted in best practices and international standards, in addition to offering advanced and continuous tax education.
The initiative targets several groups, including new and current employees of the FTA, university students and graduates from government universities, and tax specialists. By focusing on these groups, the FTA aims to ensure a steady supply of qualified professionals who can contribute to the efficient administration of the tax system.
This strategic move by the FTA underscores its dedication to creating a robust tax infrastructure that supports the UAE’s economic growth. Through continuous education and skill development, the Authority is setting the stage for a more efficient, transparent, and effective tax system that aligns with international standards and best practices.
