Our Services

VAT Consultancy Services: We Handle Every Stage of Your VAT Cycle

Every stage of the VAT cycle, handled by one team.

VAT Registration
We assess your threshold position, prepare the documents, and file through EmaraTax until your TRN arrives. Registration with the FTA is free of government charges.
Return Filing and Review
We prepare and file Form VAT 201 every period, reconciling and checking it before submission. Nil returns are filed too, because skipping them triggers the same penalties.
VAT Health Check
We review your previously filed returns and records for errors, missed input tax, and wrong treatments. You learn exactly where you stand before the FTA asks.
Voluntary Disclosures
Errors above AED 10,000 need a voluntary disclosure through Form VAT 211. We prepare it, file it, and manage the FTA's response. Smaller errors get corrected in your next return.
VAT Refunds
When input VAT exceeds output VAT, the FTA owes you money. We claim it through Form VAT 311 or carry the credit forward, whichever suits your cash flow.
FTA Audit Representation
If the FTA reviews your file, we prepare the records and answer the queries. Your own registered tax agents defend your positions.
Penalty Reconsideration
Fines can be reduced, waived, or paid in installments where the rules allow. We prepare reconsideration requests and installment applications with the evidence that works.
Deregistration and Amendments
Turnover below AED 187,500 makes deregistration mandatory. We handle deregistration, VAT group changes, and every registration amendment in between.
Sector and Transaction Advisory
Designated zones, reverse charge on imports, real estate, and financial services each carry special VAT rules. We set the correct treatment before you invoice.
E Invoicing Readiness
The UAE's e invoicing system is live in pilot, and mandatory deadlines are close. We assess your gap, guide your provider choice, and manage the onboarding. Full details below.

UAE E Invoicing

Get Your E Invoicing System Ready With Our VAT Consultants

The UAE launched its e invoicing framework under Ministerial Decisions 243 and 244 of 2025. The Ministry of Finance (opens in a new tab) runs it with the Federal Tax Authority (opens in a new tab). The pilot and voluntary phase went live on 1 July 2026. Mandatory deadlines now depend on your revenue.

AED 5,000

per month, for missing a deadline

The system covers B2B and B2G invoices on the Peppol five-corner model. It applies even to businesses that are not VAT registered. Every business must appoint an FTA-accredited service provider and onboard through EmaraTax.

Our readiness service covers the gap assessment, invoice flow mapping, provider selection guidance, and the EmaraTax onboarding. If your revenue is above AED 50 million, your provider deadline is weeks away. Start now.

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.

John WhitcombClient review

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.

Shebin BabuClient review
