What is TAWWER?
TAWWER is ERDC’s digital platform for the UAE R&D Tax Credit and the single channel for submitting R&D projects for Pre-Approval.
Through TAWWER, applicants can track status, respond to Requests for Information and receive outcomes. TAWWER is not a tax filing system and does not calculate or guarantee the final credit.
