This is a verified summary rather than a verbatim reproduction. Consult the official Arabic text, the Law and later decisions before making a final determination.

Madar explanation

What does the Article mean in plain language?

Notification may use post, email, NBR's system, visible posting at premises or other specified means, using registered or prescribed alternative addresses. For electronic notice, receipt is the sending date; for posting, the posting date. Do not automatically extend that specific deeming rule to paper post. Retain the method and evidence, keep addresses current and then apply Article 85's deadline calculation.

Who should read this?

The filing entity and compliance, finance, legal and governance teams.

Practical action

Keep all addresses current and monitor the portal and email because electronic dispatch may start the clock immediately.

Common mistake to avoid

Counting from opening an email or applying the sending-date rule indiscriminately to all methods.

Limits of the commentary

Before relying on the result

Is this Article enough on its own?

Usually not. Read it with the connected Law Article, definitions, any effective election and current NBR guidance, especially for an amount or deadline.

Does NBR guidance replace the Regulations?

No. Guidance explains application and supports procedures and examples, but current legislation and decisions prevail in case of inconsistency.
