Why it matters
Why Tax Advisory Services are Important to Organizations in the UAE
The UAE has a reputation of being quite friendly towards taxes. The only change regarding tax rules is the introduction of the VAT in 2018 and the corporate tax in 2023 which makes it crucial for companies to be aware of the tax requirements. VAT, corporate tax return or even first and second assessment tax simplest are not easy and that is why it is advisable to work with tax consultants.

Eleven questions
Nobody wakes up wanting corporate governance
They wake up wondering who gets to decide what. Every service in this practice answers a question somebody actually asked, so here they are as the questions rather than as the names.
Before you commit
The question asked while it is still a decision.
Running it
Direction, money and who decides what.
Knowing where you stand
What the business is worth, what it owes, what the figures mean.
Changing shape
When the business has to become something else, or belong to someone else.
The groupings say when a question usually comes up, not what order to do things in. A business can need a valuation and a succession plan in the same month, or a feasibility study years after it started trading.
Or go straight to one
Government Agencies
We work closely with all Government Agencies
Company formation, licensing, visas, customs codes and tax registration all pass through these authorities. Start a company setup.
Answers
Questions asked about Comprehensive Tax Advisory
The 6 asked most often, answered by an adviser.
01Do I need tax advisory if my business already files its own returns?
Filing returns yourself is permitted, but corporate tax and VAT rules involve judgement calls on grouping, cross border transactions, free zone qualifying income and disputed assessments. Advisory is not mandatory, but getting the treatment wrong can trigger penalties and reassessments. Whether you need it depends on the complexity of your structure and transactions, not the size of your licence.
02How much does tax advisory cost in the UAE?
Advisory work is scoped and quoted after reviewing your structure, transactions and the specific issue involved, since a single VAT query and a full corporate tax restructuring require very different effort. There is no fixed published fee for advisory services. You would receive a proposal once the scope is understood.
03What happens if the FTA disagrees with my tax position?
You can submit a reconsideration request to the FTA, and if that is rejected, escalate to the Tax Disputes Resolution Committee. Deadlines apply at each stage, and missing them can close off your right to challenge the assessment. Preparing a well documented submission at the outset makes a material difference to the outcome.
04Does a free zone licence protect me from corporate tax?
Not automatically. A free zone licence does not by itself exempt a company from corporate tax, the 0 per cent rate on qualifying income depends on meeting the qualifying free zone person conditions. Whether your income qualifies turns on the nature of your activities and your customers, and needs checking against the actual rules rather than assumed from the licence.
05Which businesses need international tax advisory?
Companies with cross border transactions, related party dealings, foreign branches or overseas customers typically need input on transfer pricing, treaty relief and where profits are properly taxed. Whether this applies to you depends on the scale and structure of your international activity, not simply whether you trade abroad at all.
06What documents does Vigor need to review my tax position?
Typically your trade licence, financial statements, prior VAT and corporate tax returns, relevant contracts and any correspondence already exchanged with the FTA. The exact list depends on the issue at hand, whether it concerns VAT treatment, a corporate tax filing, a customs matter or an ongoing dispute.
