UAE Tax Consultancy Services
UAE tax law has changed significantly in recent years, and it continues to evolve. Corporate tax, VAT, transfer pricing, Free Zone tax treatment, and cross-border considerations all require specialist knowledge that goes beyond basic compliance. ZAMA’s tax consultancy service provides businesses with clear, expert guidance on their UAE tax position, whether you need a one-time advisory review, ongoing strategic support, or specialist input on a specific transaction or structure.
Areas of UAE Tax Consultancy
Specialist advice across the areas where UAE tax law most often affects business decisions.
Corporate Tax Advisory
Navigating the UAE’s corporate tax framework, including taxable income calculations, allowable deductions, exempt income, and the interaction between the CT law and your business structure. We advise on positions before you file, not after you receive an FTA query.
VAT Advisory
Guidance on VAT treatment for specific transactions, supply chains, and business models. This includes zero-rating eligibility, exempt supply implications, reverse charge mechanisms, and input VAT recovery optimisation.
Free Zone Tax Structuring
Advising Free Zone entities on their corporate tax position, including QFZP eligibility assessment, qualifying income analysis, and the conditions that must be maintained to preserve the 0% rate.
Cross-Border & International Tax
For international businesses operating in the UAE: permanent establishment risk assessment, transfer pricing documentation, double tax treaty applicability, and UAE tax residency advice.
Transaction-Specific Advice
Pre-transaction tax reviews for acquisitions, restructurings, joint ventures, and major contracts, ensuring tax implications are understood and planned for before commitments are made.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tax compliance is the process of meeting your legal obligations: filing returns, paying tax, and registering on time. Tax consultancy is forward-looking advice: understanding your position, identifying risks, planning your structure, and making informed decisions. ZAMA provides both, and the two work best together.
While UAE tax law is a federal framework, working with a UAE-based, FTA-registered tax agent who understands local practice (FTA administrative procedures, typical audit triggers, and UAE-specific business structures) provides a material advantage over offshore advisors unfamiliar with the local environment.
Yes. ZAMA provides standalone tax advisory opinions for specific transactions, contracts, or business decisions. We’ll review the relevant facts, apply UAE tax law, and provide you with a written position and recommendations.
