On-call advice
Corporate tax and VAT questions answered.
Menu
UAE corporate tax and VAT raise new questions every month: how to invoice a new client, whether a cost is deductible, how a related party payment should be priced, what an FTA message means. Our UAE tax consultancy gives you a retained team that knows your business and answers those questions as they arise, on a fixed monthly fee.
Since corporate tax arrived alongside VAT, UAE businesses face tax questions in everyday decisions: contracts, pricing, hiring, related party arrangements and free zone activities. A retained consultant who already knows your business can answer quickly and consistently.
Under a UAE tax consultancy retainer, we answer your day-to-day questions on corporate tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 and VAT under Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017, track your VAT periods and corporate tax deadlines, review your tax position each quarter, explain new Cabinet and Ministerial Decisions and FTA guidance as they affect you, and act as the first point of contact when a message arrives from the FTA. Typical questions include whether a new revenue stream qualifies for free zone treatment, how to treat an import of services, whether an expense is deductible, and how to document a payment to an owner. Each answer is given in the context of your structure and history, and recorded so the position is consistent from one month to the next.
The UAE tax system is still developing, with frequent decisions, clarifications and new requirements such as phased e-invoicing from 2027. A retainer keeps you informed of the changes that matter to your business and what you need to do about them, without having to commission separate advice each time. Where a question grows into a project, such as restructuring, a tax group application or an FTA audit, we scope it separately so the monthly fee stays predictable.
For businesses with owners or operations in Pakistan, the retainer can cover both sides. We consider how UAE decisions affect Pakistani tax for resident owners, how payments between the two countries are taxed under the double tax treaty, and how to keep records that satisfy both the FTA and FBR. This is often where single-country advisers miss issues.
