FTA-savvy tax advice in Dubai
Tax Consultant in Dubai
Tax in the UAE used to be simple. Then came VAT in 2018, corporate tax in 2023, and a rulebook that keeps growing. BizNex Consulting is a tax consultancy in Dubai helping businesses register, file and stay clear of FTA penalties across VAT, corporate tax and excise. One team, one point of contact, answers in plain language.

What we cover
What a tax consultant actually does
VAT: registration and TRN, quarterly or monthly returns, refund claims, voluntary disclosures for past mistakes, and deregistration when you qualify. This is still the tax that touches most Dubai businesses first.
Corporate tax: registration with the FTA, the 9% computation on taxable income above AED 375,000, small business relief elections where they fit, free zone person assessments, and the annual return. Deadlines here are strict and the penalty for late registration alone is AED 10,000.
Excise tax: for businesses dealing in tobacco, electronic smoking devices and sweetened drinks. Registration, monthly returns and stockpile rules apply, and the rates are far higher than VAT.
Transfer pricing: if you transact with related parties, the FTA expects arm's length pricing backed by documentation. We prepare the master file, local file and disclosure forms so related-party dealings survive scrutiny.
FTA-registered tax agent standard: a tax agent registered with the Federal Tax Authority can formally represent you before the FTA. We work to that standard on every engagement: documented advice, proper records and representation-quality filings. Where a matter formally needs a registered agent's sign-off, we say so upfront and bring one in.
Is it time?
When your business needs a tax consultant
A deadline is approaching
Corporate tax registration windows, VAT return due dates, excise filings. Miss one and the fine lands automatically.
The FTA wrote to you
A query, an audit notice or a penalty assessment. How you respond in the first 20 days usually decides the outcome.
Something is changing
New investors, a restructuring, expanding to another Emirate, selling the business. Tax structuring done before the change saves multiples of its cost.
Your books and filings disagree
Revenue in the accounts does not match declared turnover. The FTA's systems cross-check more than most businesses realise.
You want it off your desk
Monthly bookkeeping, quarterly VAT and annual corporate tax handled by one team, so tax stops being a background worry.
How it works

Free tax health check
We review your registrations, filings and deadlines against FTA requirements and hand you a written gap list. Free, no obligation.

Tax consultant FAQs
Questions about tax consultants in Dubai
What does a tax consultant in Dubai do?
A tax consultant handles your UAE tax obligations end to end: VAT registration and returns, corporate tax registration and 9% computations, excise where it applies, transfer pricing documentation, FTA correspondence, voluntary disclosures and penalty disputes. The good ones also answer structuring questions before you act, not after.
Are you an FTA-registered tax agent?
We work to FTA-registered tax agent standards: proper engagement records, documented advice and representation-quality filings. If your matter formally requires a registered agent's sign-off, we tell you upfront and bring one in.
How much does a tax consultant cost in Dubai?
It depends on scope. A single VAT registration is a fixed fee; ongoing compliance (monthly bookkeeping plus quarterly VAT plus annual corporate tax) runs as a monthly retainer sized to your transaction volume. We quote in writing before anything starts, so the fee you approve is the fee you pay.
Do I need a tax consultant for corporate tax?
If your business is within scope for UAE corporate tax, yes in practice. Registration, the 9% computation, small business relief elections, transfer pricing and the return itself all carry deadlines and penalties. Most businesses pair it with their VAT compliance under one roof.
What happens if I ignore an FTA penalty?
It grows. Unpaid penalties accrue further fines, and the FTA can escalate to audits and collection action. The cheaper path is almost always a voluntary disclosure or a well-argued reconsideration filed quickly. We have handled both.
Can you help if the FTA selects us for a tax audit?
Yes. We prepare the document pack the FTA asks for, reconcile your filings to your books before they do, attend to queries during the audit, and handle any reassessment or objection afterwards. Clients under ongoing compliance rarely face surprises, because their records are already audit-ready.
Do you work with free zone companies?
Yes, across Dubai free zones including DMCC, DIFC, JLT, DAFZA and Dubai South, plus mainland and other Emirates. Free zone tax treatment has its own rules, particularly for qualifying free zone persons under corporate tax, which we assess case by case.
