What Is VAT Consultancy in Dubai, UAE?
VAT Consultancy in Dubai, UAE is a professional service that helps businesses understand, implement, and comply with the UAE’s Value Added Tax (VAT) regulations, as set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). These consultancies provide expert support on VAT registration, return filing, record-keeping, tax planning, and dispute resolution.
Since the introduction of VAT in the UAE in 2018, businesses must meet strict tax obligations or risk penalties. VAT consultants assist companies in staying compliant, minimizing tax risks, optimizing tax efficiency, and preparing for audits or assessments. Most firms hold a DED or Free Zone consultancy license, and many are staffed with registered Tax Agents approved by the FTA.
VAT Consultancy is essential for businesses across all sectors — including retail, real estate, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, and e-commerce — especially when engaging in cross-border transactions, complex supply chains, or industry-specific tax scenarios.
