Tax obligations in the UAE have grown significantly in complexity. VAT, Corporate Tax and evolving international frameworks each carry distinct compliance requirements. We help businesses navigate all of it — accurately, efficiently and with a clear view of the implications at every stage.
We begin by reviewing your business structure, operations and existing tax position — identifying obligations, exposures and opportunities under UAE VAT, Corporate Tax and applicable international treaties.
We develop a practical tax strategy aligned with how your business operates — covering compliance requirements, cross-border considerations, treaty positioning and structural tax efficiency across the markets you work in.
Tax regulations change. We keep your business current — managing filings, monitoring FTA updates, supporting Corporate Tax returns and ensuring your obligations are met accurately and on time.
Tax compliance is the floor, not the ceiling.
The real value is in how well your structure serves your business.
The UAE tax landscape has expanded considerably in recent years. Businesses operating in the region must now manage VAT compliance, Corporate Tax obligations and — for larger multinationals — the implications of Pillar Two and the Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax. For those operating across borders, double taxation treaties and cross-border structuring add a further layer of complexity. Our Tax Consultancy practice helps organisations address all of these demands with clarity and precision.
We support businesses through every stage of UAE tax compliance. For VAT, this includes registration, return preparation and filing via the FTA EmaraTax portal, compliance system design, internal controls and staff training. For Corporate Tax — effective June 2023 at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000 — we advise on scope, exemptions, Free Zone qualifying income, transfer pricing documentation, group relief and the annual return process. Where DMTT applies under the OECD Pillar Two framework, we help businesses understand and manage their obligations at the 15% minimum rate.
For businesses with international operations, effective tax planning requires more than local compliance. We help clients construct cross-border tax strategies, manage global structural tax rates and apply the UAE's extensive double taxation treaty network — covering over 50 countries — to minimise tax exposure on dividends, interest, royalties and service fees. Our team advises on bilateral treaty positions, reviews cross-border transaction structures and ensures clients remain aligned with evolving FTA guidance and international tax developments.
