Clear communication
Understand what is required, who is responsible and what happens next. Where agreed, ongoing support helps your business maintain records and manage recurring obligations.
What does an FTA tax agent do?
A registered tax agent may be appointed to assist a taxpayer with tax obligations and represent them before the Federal Tax Authority within the authorised scope.
Support when you need clarity
Consider professional assistance when you receive an FTA notice, approach a filing deadline, discover historical errors or need help preparing for a tax audit.
We begin by reviewing the issue, relevant tax periods, available evidence and the response required.
Clear scope and responsibility
Appointing a tax agent is not mandatory for every taxpayer. It also does not remove the business’s own legal responsibility for its tax affairs.
Registered tax agents are independent professionals, not employees or branches of the FTA.
Practical support.
From records to response.
Choose support for a specific matter or an ongoing engagement covering your corporate tax, VAT and related accounting needs.

Tax agent or tax consultant?
The titles are not interchangeable. A consultant may also be a registered tax agent, but the consultancy title alone does not establish FTA registration or authority to represent you.
| Consideration | Registered tax agent | Tax consultant |
|---|---|---|
| Registration | Registered within the FTA tax-agent framework. | The title itself does not establish FTA tax-agent registration. |
| Advice and compliance | Support within professional competence and the agreed engagement. | Support depends on professional competence, licensing and scope. |
| FTA representation | Subject to valid appointment, applicable rules and authorised scope. | Confirm separate registration and appointment where representation is required. |
Before appointing an adviser, check registration status, relevant experience, documentation standards and engagement terms. Check the FTA’s registered tax-agent directory.

Ask our teamWhat is an FTA approved tax agent?
A tax agent is registered with the UAE Federal Tax Authority and may be appointed to assist a taxpayer with obligations and represent them before the FTA within the permitted scope.
Is appointing a tax agent mandatory?
No. Appointment is not mandatory for every taxpayer. Businesses can decide whether professional support is appropriate for their requirements and circumstances.
Does appointment remove my company’s tax responsibility?
No. The taxable person retains responsibility for its tax affairs, including dealings carried out on its behalf. Your engagement should clearly define each party’s role.
Can a tax agent communicate with the FTA for my company?
A duly appointed registered tax agent can represent a taxpayer in authorised dealings with the FTA, subject to applicable legislation and the scope of appointment.
Can you help with both corporate tax and VAT?
Yes. We assist with registrations, record reviews, reconciliations, return preparation, filing support and relevant deregistration requirements for both taxes.
What should I do after receiving an FTA audit notice?
Review the requested information, tax periods and response deadline. Our team can help assess the notice, organise records and prepare supporting reconciliations and responses.
Can you review historical errors or voluntary disclosures?
Yes. We review the discrepancy and its impact, then assess the correction process relevant to the facts. A voluntary disclosure is not automatically the appropriate procedure for every error.
Can you assist with penalties and reconsideration requests?
Yes. We review the decision, evidence and underlying issue and assist with an appropriate response where available. No adviser can guarantee a penalty waiver or a particular outcome.
Do you support free-zone companies and growing businesses?
Yes. We support mainland businesses, companies across UAE free zones, branches and groups. Free-zone status alone does not determine the company’s corporate tax or VAT treatment.
Can you review our previous tax returns and records?
Yes. A compliance health check reviews previous filings, tax balances, invoices and reconciliations to identify inconsistencies and gaps in supporting evidence.
Are tax agents part of the Federal Tax Authority?
No. Registered tax agents and tax agencies are independent professionals. They are not employees or branches of the FTA and should not present themselves as such.
How do I choose a tax agent and arrange a quotation?
Check registration, relevant UAE tax experience and the proposed scope. Share your service requirement and any deadline with our team. Fees depend on the work involved, complexity and condition of your records.
