VAT Compliance

Value Added Tax (VAT) compliance ensures that businesses adhere to the laws and regulations surrounding VAT in the UAE. Introduced in 2018, VAT applies to most goods and services, making it a critical aspect of business operations. Compliance involves proper registration, accurate tax filing, and timely payment. Failure to comply can result in penalties, so understanding and managing VAT obligations is essential for businesses to operate smoothly and legally in the UAE.

VAT Registration and De-registration

One of the primary services provided by Tax Experts is VAT registration. All businesses in the UAE that meet the required annual turnover threshold are mandated to register for VAT with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Failing to do so can result in fines and penalties. The Tax Experts assist businesses in determining whether they qualify for VAT registration, preparing the necessary documentation, and submitting the application. Furthermore, in cases where businesses no longer meet the VAT registration criteria, The Tax Experts also offer assistance with VAT de-registration, ensuring a smooth and compliant exit from the VAT system.

VAT Return Filing

Filing VAT returns is a recurring and crucial aspect of VAT compliance. Businesses are required to submit VAT returns to the FTA every quarter, detailing the VAT collected on sales and paid on purchases. Tax Experts help businesses prepare accurate VAT returns by reviewing all transactions, ensuring compliance with VAT regulations, and submitting the returns on time. Their services also include identifying and addressing any potential discrepancies in VAT filings to avoid audits and penalties.

VAT Advisory Services

VAT laws in the UAE can be complex and constantly evolving.  Tax Experts provide customised VAT advisory services to help businesses stay up to date with the latest VAT regulations and understand how these laws impact their operations. Whether it is understanding the VAT implications of a specific transaction or providing guidance on international trade and VAT exemptions, their team of experienced tax professionals ensures that businesses remain compliant and make informed decisions.

VAT Accounting and Bookkeeping 

Accurate VAT accounting and bookkeeping are essential for maintaining compliance and avoiding disputes with the FTA. The Tax Experts offer specialised VAT accounting and bookkeeping services to ensure that all VAT-related transactions are properly recorded and reconciled. They help businesses track VAT payable and receivable, ensuring that the correct amounts are claimed and paid. 

VAT Training

To ensure that businesses fully understand their VAT obligations,  Tax Experts provide tailored VAT training for in-house teams. These training sessions are designed to equip business owners and staff with the knowledge and skills needed to handle VAT compliance tasks effectively, reducing the risk of errors and penalties.

Corporate Taxes Related Services

The UAE has become a global business hub, attracting companies with its strategic location, modern infrastructure, and investor-friendly policies. However, navigating corporate taxation can be complex. Tax Experts, led by CA Dixit Jain, offers tailored corporate tax services to help businesses comply with UAE laws

Understanding Corporate Tax in the UAE

The UAE has made significant strides in establishing a clear corporate tax framework. Although traditionally known for its zero-tax regime, recent developments, including the introduction of the Economic Substance Regulations and Transfer Pricing rules, require businesses to comply with specific tax obligations. As of June 2023, a federal corporate tax of 9% applies to taxable profits exceeding AED 375,000, while companies earning less than this threshold benefit from a 0% tax rate. This shift has underscored the importance of professional tax advisory services to ensure compliance and optimise tax positions.

Under the ESR, businesses are required to have a substantial presence in the UAE, commensurate with the income they generate from relevant activities.

Tax Experts assist clients in establishing effective monitoring systems and procedures to detect unusual patterns or behaviours. Additionally, they provide guidance on reporting suspicious transactions to the relevant authorities, ensuring compliance with the UAE’s reporting requirements and minimising the risk of legal repercussions.

Ultimate Beneficial Owner related services

In today’s dynamic global economy, transparency and compliance have become paramount, especially in the realm of business ownership and financial dealings. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has made significant strides in enhancing its regulatory framework to align with international standards, particularly concerning the identification and reporting of Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs). At Tax Experts, we offer comprehensive UBO-related services to ensure that our clients meet these requirements effectively and efficiently.

What is Ultimate Beneficial Ownership?

Ultimate Beneficial Ownership refers to the individuals who ultimately own or control a company, even if their ownership is indirect through other entities. Understanding UBOs is critical for combating money laundering, tax evasion, and terrorist financing. The UAE has implemented specific laws and regulations requiring businesses to disclose their UBOs to promote transparency and accountability.

The Legal Framework

In the UAE, UBO regulations are primarily governed by the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) laws. As of 2020, all companies in the UAE are required to identify and report their UBOs. This includes both onshore and free zone companies, ensuring a comprehensive approach to transparency. Businesses must maintain accurate records of their UBOs and submit this information to the relevant authorities, such as the Ministry of Economy or local economic departments.

Our UBO Services at Tax Experts

At Tax Experts, we understand the complexities involved in complying with UBO regulations. Our services are designed to simplify this process for our clients, allowing them to focus on their core business operations while we handle the intricacies of UBO compliance.

  1. UBO Identification and Documentation: We assist businesses in identifying their UBOs by reviewing corporate structures and ownership chains. Our team works diligently to gather the necessary documentation that substantiates the UBOs’ identity and ownership stakes. This step is crucial to ensuring compliance with UAE regulations.
  2. Preparation of UBO Registers: We help clients prepare and maintain UBO registers, a requirement under UAE law. This register must be updated regularly and made available to regulatory authorities upon request. Our experts ensure that the register is comprehensive and complies with legal requirements, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
  3. Compliance Audits: Tax Experts conduct regular audits of our clients’ UBO compliance processes. These audits identify potential gaps in compliance and offer actionable insights to address them. By proactively managing compliance, we help businesses avoid penalties and legal issues.
  4. Training and Awareness Programs: We offer training sessions and workshops to educate our clients about UBO regulations and the importance of compliance. By fostering a culture of transparency within organisations, we empower our clients to uphold their legal obligations effectively.
  5. Ongoing Support and Consultation: Our team provides continuous support and consultation on UBO-related matters. As regulations evolve, we keep our clients informed about changes in the legal landscape and offer tailored solutions to meet their unique needs.
