Tax Services

The UAE tax landscape has transformed significantly since the introduction of VAT in 2018 and Corporate Tax in 2023. Businesses operating in the UAE now face a genuine compliance obligation — and the consequences of getting it wrong, from FTA penalties to reputational damage, are substantial. Dhoaa Al Shams is your specialist partner for every aspect of UAE taxation.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

We manage the complete VAT compliance lifecycle. Starting from initial FTA registration through to quarterly return preparation, filing, payment coordination, and input tax recovery, our tax team ensures your VAT position is accurate, optimised, and submitted on time, every time. We also advise on the correct VAT treatment of complex or non-standard transactions — including zero-rated and exempt supplies, imports, reverse-charge mechanisms, and intercompany services — so you claim every dirham of recoverable tax and never pay more than you legally owe.

Corporate Tax

The UAE Corporate Tax regime applies at 9% to taxable profits exceeding AED 375,000 per financial year. Our team assists with Corporate Tax registration, regime election decisions (particularly for qualifying free zone persons seeking the 0% rate), transfer pricing documentation for related-party transactions, and full annual return preparation and submission.

Tax Advisory & Planning

Proactive tax planning can materially reduce your tax burden while keeping you fully compliant. We advise on group structuring, holding company location, related-party pricing policies, and the application of double tax treaties between the UAE and over 100 partner countries.
