A Cabinet Decision lands, a guide is reissued with a new date, a regulator amends its rules — and most companies hear about it from a penalty notice.
We monitor the Federal Tax Authority, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank and the free-zone regulators every six hours, and publish what changed in the authority's own words, linked to the original.
Quoted items reproduce a short extract of the issuing authority's own announcement, with a link to the original. Exiloz is a private consultancy and is not the Federal Tax Authority or any UAE government body. Always read the official text before acting on it.
