About

Ensure your business meets UAE tax obligations with accurate, on-time VAT registration and ongoing filing support.

Since the introduction of VAT in the UAE in 2018, all businesses meeting the threshold must register, charge VAT correctly, and file returns with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Yet for many SMEs and international companies, navigating local tax requirements can be complex and time-consuming. Mistakes can lead to fines, blocked imports, and reputational damage.

Through our Private Office, we connect clients to trusted VAT consultants and licensed tax agents who specialise in UAE compliance. Whether you're registering for the first time or need help managing ongoing returns, we ensure you’re covered—accurately and efficiently.

What It Offers

This service helps you meet all VAT requirements in the UAE—whether you’re newly registering or maintaining compliance through quarterly filings.

  • VAT Registration: Full support in preparing and submitting your FTA application
  • Quarterly VAT Returns: Accurate preparation and timely filing to avoid penalties
  • FTA Representation: Liaison with the tax authority on your behalf when needed
  • Error Correction: Rectification of past submissions or compliance gaps
  • Advisory Services: Support for VAT on cross-border transactions and business restructuring

Who It’s For

  • UAE-based SMEs reaching the AED 375,000 registration threshold
  • International companies expanding into the UAE
  • E-commerce and service providers with regional clients
  • Free zone companies conducting onshore transactions
  • Businesses importing or exporting goods through the UAE

Understanding Your Needs

Many clients we support are operating in fast-paced environments—focused on growth, not admin. But VAT in the UAE comes with strict rules, deadlines, and potential penalties. It's easy to fall behind or be misadvised, especially when expanding or dealing with mixed supply chains.

That’s where our Private Office steps in. We connect you with regulated tax professionals who know the UAE system inside out. They handle the technicalities, keep your filings clean, and offer strategic advice—so you stay compliant and focused on your business.
