The country-specific tax return type is required to be maintained in the Company Tax Arrangements for the UAE Tax Authority. However, the corresponding option is not available.

SAP Business ByDesign

To verify the current Company Tax Arrangement please go to:

1. Tax Management work center

3. Select the Company Tax Arrangement maintained for country AE - United Arab Emirates
4. Click on Edit
5. Under the Tax Numbers subtab, attempt to select a Tax Number Type. It is not possible to select any Tax Number Type.

The United Arab Emirates is a special case where maintaining a tax number for the tax authority is not required.

As UAE does not charge taxes for the transactions supported on By Design there is no need to maintain tax type or tax number for tax authority.

The warning message displayed while creating a document in the system can be ignored.

This warning message appears only where there is no tax details maintained in the tax authority, however this warning message does not prevent the system from posting any document.

This is a standard system behavior.
