Federal Tax Authority or the FTA is a body formed by the government to administer all the taxes in UAE (starting with VAT & excise duties).
Some of the responsibilities of the FTA will include :-

• Collecting taxes
• Provide guidance
• Decision making capacity in technical cases
• Conducting tax audits and administering penalties
