Home / Our services

Tax, technology and trade under one roof

Choose one service or combine them. Every engagement starts with a short call and a written scope, so you know what is included and what it costs.

Tax consulting

Corporate tax and VAT, with the records behind them

We turn UAE tax rules into a routine your finance team can run, from first registration to annual returns.

Best for: mainland and free zone companies, holding structures, and foreign businesses with UAE activity.

  • Corporate tax registration and annual filing
  • Tax computation and adjustments
  • Free zone qualifying-income review
  • VAT registration, returns and refunds
  • Transfer pricing documentation
  • Excise tax guidance for applicable goods
  • Bookkeeping and financial statements
  • Tax health checks and audit support
Good to know: the standard UAE corporate tax rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, and the standard VAT rate is 5%. VAT registration is mandatory once taxable supplies and imports pass AED 375,000 in 12 months, and voluntary from AED 187,500. Rules change, so we check current Federal Tax Authority guidance for your case.

How it starts

A 30-minute call to understand your licence, activities and current records, followed by a written scope and fee.
