Announced in its latest statistics, the FTA also reflected on its strategic commitment to empowering young people and harnessing their potential as active partners in leading the future. The youth demographic accounts for 70.5% of the FTA's total workforce, 87% of whom are UAE nationals. Therefore, such significant numbers underscore the pivotal role of young national talent in developing the tax system and enhancing the country's long-term competitiveness. Women represent 56% of the FTA's young workforce, highlighting the influential presence and active contribution of Emirati women across various areas of work within the Authority.

The statistics also revealed that young people hold 33% of supervisory and leadership positions, make up 80% of specialist roles, and account for 81% of tax-related positions, with 84% holding a university degree or higher. These figures demonstrate that the FTA not only attracts young talent but also empowers them in decision-making roles, equipping them with the knowledge and skills that enhance their contribution to innovation and institutional performance development. This approach aligns with the UAE's vision to prepare a generation of leaders capable of meeting future challenges and creating new opportunities for growth. On this occasion, His Excellency Khalid Al Bustani, Director General of FTA, said: 'The youth of the UAE are the foundation of the future, and we take pride in the FTA serving as a model for their empowerment, providing an environment that fosters creativity, and enabling their participation in decision-making and policy development.

Eissa Al Raeesi, Chair of the Youth Council at FTA, also spoke about the vital role of young people within FTA, saying: 'The youth represent the beating heart of the development and transformation journey the FTA is witnessing. Their role goes beyond mere participation to leading transformational projects that shape the future. At the Youth Council, we are committed to ensuring that young voices are heard and their ideas are implemented in practice, driven by our belief in their ability to accelerate innovation across FTA's various services and to strengthen its position as a pioneering institution aligned with the UAE's aspirations for a more efficient and innovative government. We believe that empowering youth is not an option, but a necessity to ensure the sustainability of achievements and to accelerate institutional development.' The FTA affirms that its policies and programmes aimed at attracting and developing young talent stem from a clear vision aligned with the UAE's direction to prepare a generation of future leaders capable of anticipating challenges, creating opportunities, and contributing to consolidating the country's position as a leading global hub for innovation and quality of life.
