Services

Regulatory & Other Tax

Coverage for Economic Substance Regulations, excise tax, tax residency certificates, and FTA tax agent representation.

What we offer

Economic Substance Regulations

Entities carrying out relevant activities under UAE Economic Substance Regulations must file annual notifications and, where applicable, substance reports demonstrating adequate employees, expenditure, and decision-making in the UAE. We assess whether your entity is in scope, prepare notification and report filings, and advise on substance requirements to meet the test. Non-compliance can result in penalties and exchange of information with foreign tax authorities.

Excise tax registration

Excise tax applies to specific goods such as tobacco, energy drinks, and carbonated beverages in the UAE. Importers, producers, and stockholders of excise goods must register with the FTA and file periodic returns. We handle registration, product classification, return preparation, and warehouse stock reconciliation to keep your excise obligations fully compliant.

Tax residency certificate

A UAE tax residency certificate confirms your tax domicile for treaty relief, foreign withholding tax claims, and bank due diligence requirements. We prepare the application, compile supporting evidence of substance and presence in the UAE, and coordinate submission to the FTA. Certificates are increasingly required for cross-border transactions and international tax planning.

FTA tax agent services

Registered tax agents can represent your business before the Federal Tax Authority for registrations, return amendments, refund applications, and dispute resolution. Acting as your authorised representative, we communicate with the FTA on your behalf, submit documents through the portal, and follow up on pending cases. This ensures professional handling of all tax authority interactions.
