Essence Accounting and Tax Consultancy LLC is an FTA-approved tax consultancy with over 10 years of UAE experience. Our certified tax consultants handle corporate tax, VAT, excise tax, transfer pricing, and FTA disputes — so your business stays compliant while you focus on growth.
The UAE's tax landscape has changed dramatically since 2018. With VAT at 5%, corporate tax at 9%, excise tax on select goods, and complex FTA compliance requirements, businesses need expert guidance to avoid costly mistakes.
UAE tax consultants provide businesses with the expertise to navigate the Federal Tax Authority's rules correctly. This goes far beyond filing returns — it includes strategic tax planning, compliance risk management, transfer pricing documentation, and protecting your business if the FTA audits your records.
Essence Accounting's tax consultants are FTA-registered tax agents (TAN 30006266) — meaning we can legally represent you before the FTA, not just advise you from the sidelines.
The FTA levies significant penalties for non-compliance. Here are the most common risks for businesses without professional tax guidance:
Registration, return preparation, taxable income calculation, Small Business Relief elections, free zone analysis, and EmaraTax portal filing. Full CT compliance from start to finish.
VAT registration, quarterly and monthly VAT return filing, VAT refund claims, voluntary disclosures, and VAT health checks. All FTA-compliant and on time.
Excise tax registration, return filing, and compliance advice for businesses dealing in tobacco products, carbonated drinks, energy drinks, and other excise goods.
Transfer pricing documentation, benchmarking studies, and Master File/Local File preparation for businesses with related-party transactions subject to UAE CT rules.
Reconsideration applications, appeals to the Tax Disputes Resolution Committee, and representation for businesses facing FTA assessments or penalties.
Full audit support — compiling documentation, responding to FTA information requests, and representing your business to achieve the best possible outcome.
Our tax consultants also manage your corporate tax registration, VAT registration, and ongoing compliance — all under one FTA-approved roof.
In UAE, only firms listed on the FTA's Tax Agents Register can legally represent clients before the Federal Tax Authority. This is a critical distinction. A general accountant or unregistered consultant can help you prepare figures — but they cannot file returns in your name, respond to FTA audit notices, or represent you in disputes.
An FTA-registered tax agent holds a unique Tax Agent Number (TAN) which the FTA uses to verify the agent's authority to act on your behalf. Essence Accounting holds TAN 30006266, verifiable on the official FTA Tax Agents Register at tax.gov.ae.
Appointing an FTA-registered agent gives you a legal shield — if the FTA contacts you, they communicate through us. You are protected at every compliance touchpoint. Learn more on our FTA registered tax agents page.
