Strategic Tax Advice for UAE Businesses, From Registration to Compliance

Whether you are looking for a Dubai tax advisor to guide you through your first corporate tax return, or a senior advisory team to manage cross-border structuring and transfer pricing documentation, Tax Gian delivers the expertise your business needs.

What Do Tax Advisory Services in Dubai Cover?

Tax advisory goes beyond filing returns. When done properly, it involves understanding your business model, identifying your tax risk exposure, structuring your operations efficiently, and ensuring every compliance obligation is met before it becomes a liability.

Tax Gian’s tax advisory services in Dubai cover the full spectrum of UAE tax obligations:

Corporate Tax Planning and Compliance

The UAE corporate tax regime, introduced under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, applies a 9% tax rate on taxable profits exceeding AED 375,000. Businesses with taxable income below this threshold are taxed at 0%, though they are still required to register with the FTA and file annual returns. Large multinational enterprises with consolidated global revenues of EUR 750 million or more are also subject to the Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT) of 15%, effective from financial years starting on or after 1 January 2025.

Our corporate tax advisors in Dubai help businesses determine their taxable status, structure their operations for efficiency, prepare audited financial statements in line with IFRS standards where required, and file accurate returns within the nine-month post-financial-year deadline.

Transfer Pricing Advisory

Transfer pricing is one of the most scrutinised areas under the UAE corporate tax framework. Businesses engaged in related-party or connected person transactions must apply the arm’s length principle and, where applicable, prepare a Master File and Local File in accordance with OECD guidelines. Failure to comply can result in income adjustments and significant financial penalties.

Tax Gian’s transfer pricing advisors assess your intercompany transactions, prepare the required documentation, complete the transfer pricing disclosure form that forms part of every annual CT return, and represent your business before the FTA in the event of a dispute.

VAT Advisory and Compliance

UAE VAT, levied at 5% on most taxable supplies since January 2018, requires businesses to remain compliant with registration thresholds, return filing deadlines, input tax recovery rules, and sector-specific treatments. Our VAT advisory team assists with VAT registration, return filing, health checks, reconsideration applications, and deregistration.

Tax Risk Assessment and Health Checks

Many businesses operating in the UAE are unaware of gaps in their tax compliance position until they face an FTA audit or receive a penalty notice. Tax Gian’s tax health check service reviews your existing compliance structure, identifies areas of risk, and provides a clear remediation plan before issues escalate.

FTA Representation and Dispute Resolution

Where a business faces an FTA audit, tax assessment, penalty, or dispute, having an experienced registered tax agent represent you can make a significant difference to the outcome. Tax Gian is a registered tax agent authorised to liaise directly with the FTA on your behalf, prepare objections, manage reconsideration requests, and represent you before the Tax Disputes Resolution Committee (TDRC) where required.

International Tax Advisory

For businesses managing cross-border transactions, double taxation treaties, permanent establishment risks, and foreign tax credits, international tax planning is critical. As an experienced international tax consultant in the UAE, Tax Gian helps businesses structure their global operations to comply with both UAE and foreign tax obligations while avoiding unnecessary double taxation.

Who Needs a Tax Advisor in Dubai?
