With UAE Corporate Tax introduced in June 2023, every UAE company — including free zone entities — must register with the FTA, file returns and navigate an evolving regulatory landscape.
Add VAT, transfer pricing obligations and excise duties and the compliance burden has grown significantly. ECOVIS JRB provides comprehensive tax advisory, registration and compliance services — ensuring full compliance while identifying every legitimate opportunity to optimise your tax position.
End-to-end corporate tax — from initial registration through ongoing compliance and strategic planning.
Full VAT advisory, registration, compliance and return filing — maximising legitimate input tax recovery.
Robust, defensible transfer pricing documentation that satisfies FTA requirements and protects you in any audit.
Excise tax compliance for applicable goods and global mobility tax advice for internationally mobile employees.
The UAE tax environment has transformed in less than a decade — from near-zero taxation to a comprehensive framework with VAT, corporate tax, transfer pricing requirements, country-by-country reporting for multinationals and an e-invoicing mandate from July 2026.
For businesses that grew up in the pre-tax UAE, adapting requires more than filing a return once a year. It requires rethinking entity structure, intercompany pricing, free zone strategies and how the business maintains its financial records — because the FTA has the right to audit going back 7 years.
ECOVIS JRB has been working in UAE tax since VAT was introduced in 2018 and has been at the forefront of Corporate Tax compliance since it became effective in June 2023. We bring direct FTA engagement experience — including representing clients in FTA audits and voluntary disclosures.
We work across all structures — free zone companies, mainland LLCs, ADGM and DIFC entities, and branches of international groups — giving us a breadth of practical UAE tax experience that few independent firms match.
Straightforward, responsive and senior-led — from initial review through to filing and ongoing advisory.
Free initial consultation to understand your business, UAE entity structure, existing registrations and any outstanding compliance obligations.
Corporate tax and/or VAT registration handled end-to-end via the FTA EmaraTax portal — we manage the process and confirm your registration numbers.
We identify qualifying free zone exemptions, deductible items, small business relief eligibility and any restructuring required before your first filing.
Corporate tax return or VAT return prepared, reviewed with you, and filed with the FTA before the deadline — with all workings retained on file.
