Built for Review
Business Valuation UAE Services Built for FTA Review
Corporate tax changed why valuations matter in the UAE. Business restructuring relief, related party transfers, and group reorganisations must happen at market value. The rules sit with the Federal Tax Authority (opens in a new tab). A weak valuation invites questions. A defensible one closes them.
As registered tax agents, we build valuations with the tax context in mind from the first page. The methods, the comparables, and the assumptions are documented the way a reviewer expects. If questions come, we answer them for you.
Must happen at market value
- Business restructuring relief
- Related party transfers
- Group reorganisations
What You Receive
- A signed valuation report, scoped as full, summary, or calculation level.
- The valuation range, with the reasoning behind it.
- Sensitivity analysis showing what moves the number.
- Normalised earnings, with owner adjustments and one-off items removed.
- Benchmarks against comparable UAE businesses where data allows.
- Support in negotiations, disputes, or reviews after delivery.
A senior business valuation expert signs every report. Nothing leaves our office on a junior's judgement.
Step by Step
How We Work, Step by Step
Purpose and scope
We agree why you need the valuation and the report level it requires.
Records collection
We gather 3 to 5 years of financials, forecasts, contracts, and asset registers.
Normalisation
We adjust owner salaries, one-off costs, and related party pricing. This is the accountant's work, and it changes the number more than most owners expect.
Methods and cross-check
We apply the chosen approaches, reconcile the results, and test the sensitivities.
Report, discussion, and defence
You receive the draft, we walk you through it, and the signed report follows. We stand behind it afterwards.
Timeline
How Long a Valuation Takes
- 1 to 3 weeksMost valuations, once records arrive.
- Written timeline firstComplex groups, before work starts.
Most valuations complete within 1 to 3 weeks once records arrive. Complex groups get a written timeline first.
The Books Beneath It
Clean Records Support Stronger Value
A valuation is only as strong as the books beneath it. Reconciled accounts, documented contracts, and clean ledgers support higher, defensible conclusions. Gaps force caution, and caution lowers ranges.
We keep books for hundreds of businesses, and we rebuild backlogs before valuing when needed. Records, valuation, and tax stay with one team. The Commercial Companies Law framework sits with the Ministry of Economy (opens in a new tab).
One team holds all three
- Records
- Valuation
- Tax

What Clients Say About Bestax
We believe our work speaks for itself. Our clients say it louder. Owners across the Emirates trust Bestax to value their companies fairly and defend the number after.
Had my first corporate tax filing done through Bestax. They offered a tax planning session that was extremely helpful, especially because I was unsure what expenses could be deducted legally. They kinda guided me through the whole process because, as a healthcare professional, I had no clue how things work around here.
I'm very pleased with the support provided by Athira and her team in completing my Transfer Pricing report and filing the Corporate Tax returns for my company. They are highly responsive, and the quality of their work and reports is truly excellent.
Very smooth and efficient service to open a freezone company. Even while sitting in canada. They are great. Highly highly recommend.
Bestax have been managing my accounts for the past 1 year now and I must say they do an amazing job. My tax returns are always on time and I never faced any penalty.
Maham guided me through the business license renewal process. She even flagged upcoming compliance changes I had no clue about. It’s that extra attention to detail that makes Bestax stand out.
Anusha at Bestax keeps our financials in top shape. Her budgeting advice has improved our cash flow significantly. Highly reliable team!
