Getting the classification wrong affects every return. We confirm the right rate and the evidence you need to keep, so the position holds up if the FTA asks.

Questions
VAT advisory FAQs
What does a VAT advisor do?
A VAT advisor tells you how UAE VAT applies to a specific transaction, contract or business model before you act. We review the facts, apply the law and FTA guidance, and give you a clear written answer you can rely on.
When should a business get VAT advice?
Before anything new or unusual: a new revenue stream, cross-border sales, property deals, a restructure, a large contract, or when the VAT treatment is unclear. Getting it right first is far cheaper than correcting a return later.
Can you advise on whether a supply is zero-rated, exempt or standard-rated?
Yes. Supply classification is one of our most common questions. We confirm the treatment and the evidence you need to keep to support it if the FTA asks.
Do you help with FTA clarifications and private rulings?
Yes. Where the law is genuinely unclear, we can prepare and submit a clarification request to the FTA on your behalf and manage the correspondence.
Can you review contracts and pricing for VAT?
Yes. We check VAT clauses, who bears the tax, place of supply and invoicing terms, so your contracts and prices reflect the right VAT position.
Do you give VAT advice in Dubai and other emirates?
Yes. We advise mainland and free zone businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other emirates, at our Bur Dubai office, at your premises or remotely.
How much does VAT advisory cost?
Single questions are quoted as a fixed fee; ongoing support can be a monthly retainer. We agree the scope and fee in writing after a short call, before any work starts.
