By infusing creativity with astute business and industry acumen, we empower your company to soar to new heights. Rest assured, our tax experts ensure that our VAT services in Dubai are meticulously aligned with the regulations set forth by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Since the introduction of Value Added Tax in 2018, we have been privileged to advise our esteemed clients on optimizing their accounting, supply chain, and information technology systems to align seamlessly with the new governmental mandates. In September 30, 2022, the UAE had entered into Double Taxation Treaties with 137 countries worldwide. These pivotal agreements serve to offset taxes paid in one of the two countries by allowing reciprocal adjustments in the other. Our expert professionals specialize in assisting foreign entities and resident natural persons in the UAE in obtaining Tax Residency Certificates, which is a vital step towards harnessing the benefits of Double Taxation Treaties. Since the inception of UAE Economic Substance Regulations in April 2019, we have been steadfast in guiding our clients through their filing and reporting obligations. These regulations impose a critical requirement for entities in the UAE, including offshore companies and branches of local and foreign firms, to uphold specific economic substance criteria within the UAE, tailored to their respective activities.
