A chargeable consultation with a tax expert.
- Businesses
What a tax expert consultation resolves
A one-off consultation suits cases where you need an answer before acting rather than support afterwards. Most often that means choosing a regime, checking eligibility for a relief and going through a specific transaction.
- Whether VAT registration is required and when the obligation arises
- Whether the company qualifies for Small Business Relief
- How a specific transaction or payment arrangement is taxed
- What changes on a move to another free zone or another type of activity
- What obligations arise when staff are hired
The terms the expert works on
Guarantees the outcome by contract
Writes the outcome and the timeline for every service — including opening a bank account — into the contract, and answers for them.
Bills in stages
You do not pay the whole sum up front: invoices come in instalments as each stage closes.
Fixes the price in the contract
The cost is locked in and does not grow as the work goes on. Prices on the site are indicative — the final figure comes after your case is reviewed.
Charges no hidden fees
No penalties or surcharges beyond the contract. No Pactors markup either: you pay the expert their own price.
Works with lawyers of 8+ years in UAE law
The licence for your activity is matched, and the requirements worked through, by qualified lawyers.
Thinks a step ahead
Picks the zone and the licence so that a year from now you do not hit a limit and have to redo the whole thing.
Deals with authorities directly
Handles government bodies, free zones and UAE banks personally — no chain of subcontractors.
The AED 375,000 threshold sets the rate, not the duty to register
This mistake costs money in penalties. For corporate tax the 0% rate applies up to AED 375,000 (≈$100,000) of taxable profit and 9% above it. But everyone has to register, including free zone companies, loss-making ones and those that have not started trading yet.
VAT has different thresholds, and they are counted on taxable supplies and imports rather than on profit: AED 375,000 (≈$100,000) for mandatory registration, AED 187,500 (≈$51,100) for voluntary registration.
So a company may have not a dirham of tax to pay and still be obliged to register and file returns.
