Essence Accounting is an FTA-registered tax agency (Tax Agent Number 30006266), authorised to represent UAE businesses in all Federal Tax Authority matters. From filing returns and submitting refunds to handling audits and disputes — we are your official voice with the FTA. Appoint us as your tax agent and let us manage your entire tax relationship with the authority.
Under UAE tax law (Federal Law No. 7 of 2017), a registered tax agent is a person or firm that has been formally approved by the Federal Tax Authority to represent taxpayers in tax proceedings. Unlike a general tax consultant who provides advice, a registered tax agent can act as your legal representative — filing returns under their TAN, responding to official FTA correspondence, attending audit meetings, and submitting formal objections on your behalf.
Essence Accounting and Bookkeeping Co. L.L.C holds Tax Agent Number (TAN) 30006266, issued by the FTA following assessment of our professional qualifications, technical competence, and ethical standing. This registration is your assurance that we meet the FTA's highest standards for tax representation in the UAE.
Appointing an FTA-registered tax agent is particularly valuable for businesses dealing with complex tax structures, foreign companies with UAE nexus, businesses under FTA audit, and any business that wants a professional barrier between its operations and the Federal Tax Authority. With Essence Accounting as your appointed tax agent, you benefit from our experience, our FTA relationships, and our track record across 500+ UAE clients.
Non-resident companies that have UAE VAT or corporate tax obligations — through a PE, branch, or UAE-sourced income — often cannot manage FTA dealings from abroad. An FTA-registered tax agent in UAE handles all local tax obligations on their behalf, ensuring compliance without requiring the parent company to have UAE-based tax staff.
When the FTA formally initiates a tax audit, having a registered tax agent as your representative changes the dynamic entirely. Rather than dealing directly with FTA auditors — potentially making statements that increase your liability — you communicate entirely through your registered agent who knows exactly what to say, what to provide, and how to protect your position.
Groups with multiple UAE entities, free zone and mainland operations, related-party transactions, and mixed VAT supplies require expert management of complex tax positions across multiple returns. An FTA tax agent coordinates all filings, ensures consistency between entities, and manages the overall UAE tax position strategically.
Most UAE SMEs do not have in-house tax professionals. Appointing an FTA-registered tax agent means you have a qualified tax professional as your official representative with the FTA — without the cost of a full-time tax director. We handle all FTA correspondence, return filing, and compliance so you can focus on running your business.
If you disagree with an FTA assessment, penalty, or audit finding, a registered tax agent can file formal Reconsideration Requests and represent you before the Tax Disputes Resolution Committee. Having professional representation significantly improves the outcome of FTA disputes — the FTA takes registered agents more seriously than self-represented taxpayers.
Free zone companies — particularly those claiming QFZP status for 0% corporate tax — have complex compliance requirements that require expert FTA navigation. Ensuring qualifying income conditions are met, substance requirements documented, and annual returns filed correctly is critical to maintaining QFZP status. We specialise in free zone tax agent services.
The appointment process is straightforward and can be completed within a few business days. Once appointed, we take over all FTA communications immediately.
