Tax agent representation

For companies registered for VAT or Corporate Tax that want an approved party to speak for them, and for companies with a late file or outstanding penalties that need a proper statutory resolution rather than simply filing late.

• Representing the company before the Federal Tax Authority in all official correspondence.
• Responding to clarification and information requests within the statutory periods.
• Representing you during a tax audit and preparing the file and its supporting documents.
• Reviewing returns before submission and confirming the tax treatment is correct.
• Preparing correction requests and objections to penalties where there are statutory grounds.

1. An introductory session reviewing the current state of the tax file and the statutory deadlines ahead.
2. Receiving the documents: trade licence and memorandum of association, the tax registration certificate (TRN) if there is one, identification and passports of the owners and the authorised signatory, bank statements for the period required, and the record of invoices issued and received.
3. Appointing us as tax agent for your company through the Federal Tax Authority portal.
4. Reviewing the file: we identify arrears, outstanding penalties, and any tax treatment that needs correcting.
5. Ongoing follow-up: replying to Authority correspondence within the statutory periods, and giving you a copy of everything submitted.

A tax agent in the United Arab Emirates is a party entered in the register of tax agents held by the Federal Tax Authority, and does not formally represent a company until appointed through the Authority’s portal. The taxable person remains responsible for the accuracy of the data provided to us, and we remain responsible for the soundness of the tax treatment of what we submit on their behalf.

A tax penalty is usually the result of an administrative delay, not a disagreement over interpretation. Organising the deadlines solves most of the problem.
