New rules on retrospective tax penalty waivers, installments, tax litigation, and class actions

For the first time since the UAE tax laws came into effect in October 2017, the legislation now:

• Grants permission to pay tax penalties in installments.
• Specifies reasons that permit penalty waivers.*
• Prohibits installments or waivers if litigation is ongoing.
• Allows for a class action against tax penalties.
• Permits waiver of penalties paid during the past five years.
