UAE's Federal Tax Authorities introduces a whistle-blower programme “RAQEEB”

The 'Raqeeb' whistle-blower program offers a platform for individuals to report instances of tax violations and evasion, seeking to enhance tax compliance levels and decrease instances of tax evasion in the UAE by allowing anyone to notify the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) of irregularities or non-compliances. Upon receiving reports, the FTA conducts verifications and provides monetary rewards to informants, as deemed applicable, thereby encouraging the reporting of tax irregularities through the Whistleblowing form. 

The Authority explained that the whistle-blower program for tax violations and evasion aims to enhance transparency and competitiveness in the field of doing business, raise tax compliance rates, and boost tax awareness and society’s confidence in the tax system. The program also motivates individuals to carry out their social responsibilities and contribute to combating tax violations.
