Ministry of Finance Extends Accredited Service Provider Appointment Deadline for Large Taxpayers to 30 October 2026
MOF extends the deadline for large taxpayers (revenue AED 50 million or more) to appoint an Accredited Service Provider from 31 July 2026 to 30 October 2026, citing market-readiness feedback and a desire for broader ASP choice; the underlying mandatory go-live date of 1 January 2027 for large taxpayers is unchanged. 32 ASPs were approved as of the announcement.
What firms should do
Yes — large taxpayers gain extra time to appoint an ASP but should still act before 30 October 2026
