FTA has introduced some significant enhancements in this area to help taxpayers.

• Generate a unique payment reference number for GIBAN payments
• You should always include the unique reference number when making payments using GIBAN. This unique number is used to ensure that your payments are accurately allocated against your selected liabilities.
• UAE banks and other financial institutions are integrated with EmaraTax
• This means that when making a GIBAN payment the unique reference number will be used to validate the GIBAN and the amount payable If the details you provide at the time of payment are incorrect, your payment will be rejected .
• Use MagnatiPay to make online payments

We no longer accept eDirham as a payment method. MagnatiPay is our new payment gateway. It accepts payments made using any Visa or Mastercard prepaid, debit or credit card. Please contact your issuing bank to redeem any remaining eDirham balances.
