In matters of a tax group, an application for reconsideration of the tax assessment can only be made by the authorized member designated as the Tax Group Representative.

UAE Tax Assessment Review Process
Normally the FTA will fulfill the reconsideration request within forty-five business days. A request that contains detailed and sound information is important so as to avoid any chances of unnecessary delays.
As much as you are submitting a request for reconsideration, there is a possibility of seeking a waiver on the penalties. The implication is that one can contest the decision made and taxation and all relevant penalties. The procedures for submitting an FTA reconsideration request allows for submission of both requests at the same time.
The only decisions made by the FTA that can be reconsidered are formal ones. Follow-ups and clarifications are examples of non-formal communications that cannot be subjected to reconsideration within the UAE tax framework.
Assuming you were not happy with the results of that reconsideration, you will move to the next level which is the Tax Dispute Resolution Committee (TDRC). This is an organized body working under the Department of Justice and which takes care of appeals and disputes regarding review requests of tax assessments in the UAE.
A request for reconsideration can be made in the electronic services of the FTA by completing the relevant forms and submitting documents in support of the request.
The steps include undertaking a log in into the FTA e services portal, filling in the relevant forms and the evidence and or documents required to accompany these forms and submit them online.
The FTA’s original decision notice, accompanying financial documents, legal representatives’ authority (where appropriate) and other supporting certificates are provided.
The Authority considers all the appeals lodged with it and confirms whether they met the tax laws of the UAE. There is a turnaround time: one will normally receive a reply within 45 working days.
It takes the Federal Tax Authority approximately forty-five (45) business days to respond to the reconsideration requests from the time they were submitted.
