Essence Accounting and Tax Consultancy LLC is an officially registered tax agent with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) of the UAE. Our TAN 30006266 authorises us to represent your business before the FTA for all VAT and corporate tax matters — from return filing and audits to disputes and appeals.
An FTA registered tax agent is a professional or firm officially listed on the Federal Tax Authority's Tax Agents Register. Under Federal Law No. 7 of 2017 on Tax Procedures, registered tax agents are the only professionals legally authorised to represent taxpayers before the FTA, file returns in the taxpayer's name, and handle all FTA correspondence on their behalf.
The FTA defines a tax agent as: "Any Person registered with the Authority in the Register, who is appointed on behalf of another person to represent him before the Authority and assist him in the fulfilment of his Tax obligations and the exercise of his associated tax rights."
Every registered tax agent in the UAE is issued a unique Tax Agent Number (TAN). Essence Accounting and Tax Consultancy LLC is registered under TAN 30006266, which you can verify on the official FTA website.
Many UAE businesses use general accountants or unregistered consultants for tax matters. This creates serious risk. Only FTA-registered tax agents can legally represent you if the FTA contacts you, audits your records, or disputes your tax position.
Here is what only an FTA registered tax agent can do on your behalf:
If your returns are filed by someone without FTA registration, you remain personally liable for any errors, penalties, or audits. The FTA will communicate with you directly — not with your consultant — if there is a problem. An unregistered consultant cannot legally protect you.
Once you appoint us as your registered tax agent, we handle all FTA communications. The FTA directs audit notices, correspondence, and queries to us. We protect your business at every compliance touchpoint.
We file your VAT returns (monthly/quarterly) and annual corporate tax returns directly on the FTA EmaraTax portal in your name, ensuring 100% accuracy and on-time submission.
All FTA queries, clarification requests, and official notices are received and handled by our team. You are protected from direct FTA communication pressure.
If the FTA selects your business for a VAT or corporate tax audit, we prepare full documentation, respond to FTA information requests, and represent you throughout the audit process.
If the FTA issues a penalty or assessment you believe is incorrect, we submit formal reconsideration requests and, if needed, appeals to the Tax Disputes Resolution Committee.
If you have made errors in past VAT or CT returns, we file voluntary disclosures to correct the record and minimise penalty exposure before the FTA identifies the discrepancy.
We maintain ongoing compliance monitoring, deadline tracking, and proactive advice to keep your business fully compliant with evolving UAE tax legislation throughout the year.
As your FTA registered tax agent, we also handle your VAT registration and corporate tax registration from the start, ensuring your business is correctly set up with the FTA before your first filing obligation.
Before appointing any tax agent in the UAE, verify their registration on the official FTA Tax Agents Register. Visit the Federal Tax Authority website at tax.gov.ae and search the registered agents list. Always confirm the agent's Tax Agent Number (TAN) matches the FTA register. This verification protects you from unregistered or fraudulent operators.
