The General Tax Authority (GTA) has announced a series of new updates to its official website and Dhareeba platform.
Among the key enhancements is the launch of a new Knowledge Centre, which brings together tax guides and information in one centralised location.
The feature is designed to help taxpayers better understand tax requirements and procedures and to make it easier to access the information they need.
The GTA has also updated its electronic calculator, which now enables eligible taxpayers to calculate capital gains tax and financial penalties through a simple, clear, step-by-step process.
In addition, the Tax Agreements page has been updated to provide clearer information and guidance on tax agreements and related procedures, benefiting taxpayers and entities involved in international transactions.
The updated page includes transfer pricing guidance and information on mutual agreement procedures.
The Income Tax on Capital Gains page has likewise been refreshed, with new frequently asked questions and additional guidance added to help taxpayers clearly understand the relevant requirements and procedures and more easily access the information they need.
According to the GTA, these updates are part of its ongoing efforts to advance digital transformation and develop its electronic services, with the broader goal of improving the taxpayer experience and enabling easier, more efficient access to tax information, tools, and services.
In June, the GTA was awarded first place in the second edition of the "Government Services Redesign Challenge 2026", organised by the Civil Service and Government Development Bureau, for its Excise Tax Product Registration service.
The win followed the authority's participation in an innovation event featuring interactive workshops focused on assessing the current service, identifying challenges, and prototyping improved solutions, reflecting the GTA's continued push to simplify procedures and strengthen digitalisation.
In July, the GTA partnered with the General Authority of Customs to launch integrated digital services linking the Al Nadeeb electronic customs clearance system with the Dhareeba tax platform, comprising 11 joint digital services covering registration, tax returns, goods movement, and excise tax procedures.
The integration enables secure, automated data exchange between the two authorities, reducing manual entry and duplication while improving data accuracy.
