TAX REGISTRATION NUMBER

1/1/2018

Dear Valued Customers, Further to our Circulars dated 23rd October 2017, and 16th November 2017, regarding the introduction of VAT, which is effective from 1st January 2018, we would like to reemphasize those goods that are imported to and exported from the UAE are required to be declared to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). We have received further information from the Department of Ports & Customs Ajman (DPC) and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), stating that if an importer fails to provide their TRN to DPC, the clearance of their goods will be blocked by DPC until the TRN is provided. This procedure shall take effect from 1st January 2018. Therefore, to avoid any delays on future shipments, all importers/exporters are requested to provide their company’s Tax Registration Number (TRN) following the enclosed guidelines to request HAJT to update your company information. Should you require any further clarification, please feel free to contact our Commercial Department at: Tel: +971 6 747 0111 Fax: +971 6 747 0333 Email: commercial@hajt.com Note: If you have already complied the required documents, kindly disregard this email.
