Corporate Tax Consultant in Dubai, UAE
Clarity, Compliance & Zero Surprises
The introduction of UAE corporate tax law has turned “I’ll think about it later” into “I can’t afford mistakes.” Whether you’re a freelancer, micro-SME, funded startup, expat owner, or an SME burned by a previous advisor, you need more than a form-filler. You need a corporate tax consultant who gives you clarity, takes responsibility, and protects you from penalties.
At CAP Advisory, our senior corporate tax advisors deliver end-to-end corporate tax advisory services – from registration and impact assessment to corporate tax return services, refunds, and audit support – so you can focus on running and growing your business.

Tired of Confusing, Stressful Corporate Tax Services?
Most owners we speak to are not starting from zero. They already tried a consultant, a generic accountant, or DIY—and it left them frustrated.
What we hear again and again:
Poor communication & No accountability
Advisors take days to answer, miss promised deadlines, and clients are passed around between different WhatsApp numbers without a single responsible contact.
Hidden and Unpredictable fee
Extra “small” line items keep appearing. Dormant or low-activity entities are quoted retainers meant for much larger companies. Owners never know their real, all-in annual cost.
Sloppy or incorrect work
Wrong advice, wrong status, mis-managed registrations or de-registrations—issues that only the original advisor can fix, leaving clients feeling trapped.
No proactive planning, just filings
Instead of structuring to reduce future tax or prevent penalties, advisors simply “file corporate tax return” forms and disappear until next year.
Aggressive,
spammy sales
Daily cold DMs and fear-mongering (“if you don’t use us you’ll be non-compliant”) destroy trust.
One-size-fits-all packages
Freelancers, micro-SMEs and simple free-zone companies are treated like big enterprises, with complex processes and fees that don’t match their risk or reality.
Our practice is designed deliberately to be the opposite of that experience.
Who We Help – 5 Profiles We Specialise In
Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, we specialize in a few profiles and design our corporate tax advisory services around them.
1) Overwhelmed Micro-SME Owner (Service Business)
You run a small agency, consultancy, salon, or trading firm with a tiny team. You juggle sales, delivery, and basic bookkeeping - now corporate income tax UAE has added another layer.
-
Frustrations :
“My accountant only files; they don’t explain or plan.”
No clear annual picture of tax + accounting + VAT costs. -
Objections :
“I’m small. Isn’t software or a cheap accountant enough?” -
What you want :
One partner to handle bookkeeping + VAT + small business corporation tax with simple, predictable packages.
How we serve you:
We create right-sized packages combining bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax return services so you have a single, accountable partner—not a chain of vendors blaming each other.
2) High-Earning Freelancer / Sole Proprietor
You’re a consultant, designer, developer, or creator, often in a free zone. Revenue is good; admin is not.
-
Frustrations :
No clear line between “personal” and “business” for tax; no proper books—just invoices and bank statements. -
Objections :
“My setup is simple; hiring a corporate tax consultant seems overkill.” -
Need :
Freelancer-specific package, threshold monitoring, registration, and annual filing; easy online process.
How we serve you:
We design a lean, digital-first solution to register, file corporate tax return, and keep you compliant without drowning you in paperwork.
3) Funded Startup Founder
Complex cap table, R&D spend, cross-border structures—and often pre-profit.
-
Frustrations :
Generic accountants don’t understand startups, ESOPs or investor expectations. -
Objections :
“We’re loss-making; surely tax isn’t urgent.” -
Need :
Scenario planning, investor-ready numbers, and corporate tax advice aligned with future fundraising or exit.
How we serve you:
We act as your specialised corporate tax firm, aligning UAE corporate tax planning with your funding roadmap and global strategy.
4) Compliance-Anxious Expat / International Owner
You have income, entities, or ties across countries (e.g., UAE entity plus home-country obligations).
-
Frustrations :
Conflicting advice on residence and taxation rights; fear of letters from authorities. -
Objections :
Doubt that local accountants understand treaties and cross-border rules. -
Need :
Advisor who really understands UAE corporate tax law and double-taxation rules.
How we serve you:
We combine local expertise with cross-border awareness and, where needed, coordinate with foreign specialists or a trusted corporate tax law firm to keep your structure safe and defensible.
5) Burned-by-Previous-Advisor Business
You’ve already paid for bad advice, penalties, or sloppy filings.
-
Frustrations :
Hidden fees, poor communication, and only discovering issues when authorities flag them. -
Objections :
“All corporate tax companies are the same. Why should I trust another?” -
What you want :
A “rescue and repair” plan, with transparent phases and a dedicated account manager.
How we serve you:
We start with a diagnostic review, plan to fix pa
UAE Corporate Tax Law – The Essentials
Even if you’re not a tax expert, you should understand the basics of corporate income tax UAE so you can make informed decisions.
Tax Rates & Thresholds
Profit up to AED 375,000 → 0%
Profit above AED 375,000 → 9%
Certain multinational groups may face 15% under OECD Pillar Two.
We help you estimate your exposure, optimise your structure, and avoid surprises when you pay corporation tax online via the FTA portal.
Who Is a Taxable Person?
UAE juridical persons (LLCs, PJSCs, free-zone companies).
Foreign entities with Permanent Establishment or UAE state-sourced income.
Individuals carrying on a business under Cabinet Decision.
We clarify whether you’re in scope, and if not, whether you still need to register, or take steps to protect your position.
Free Zone & Qualifying Income
Free zone entities can benefit from 0% on certain qualifying income if they meet substance and other conditions. We assess your activity, draft an impact assessment, and advise how to maintain eligibility
Reliefs, Exemptions & Small Business Corporation Tax Relief
We evaluate whether you qualify for small business relief or specific exemptions, avoiding the common misconception: “I’m small, so I don’t need serious help.” The law still applies—our job is to make it manageable.

How We Remove Your Objections – Not Just Your Tax Risk
We’ve built our model specifically around the objections that stop people from hiring a corporate tax consultant.
“I don’t want to lose control or expose my accounts”
We use secure channels and clear authorisations. Before we log into any authority portals, you know exactly what we will do and why. You stay in control; we handle the complexity.
“Any accountant can do this”
Not all corporate tax companies are equal. Our focus is corporate tax; we’re not just a generic bookkeeping shop. We work to standards set by relevant professional and corporate tax association bodies and stay current with guidance.
“I can do it myself”
We don’t pretend you must use a consultant to comply; that’s a misconception. Owners can file themselves—but:
Our role is to show clearly where DIY is safe and where a corporate tax specialist adds real value—so you feel in control, not pressured.
“Fees are too high for my size”
We design tiered, right-sized packages based on your complexity and stage:
Everything is transparent and agreed upfront. No hidden add-ons.
Our 3-Step Corporate Tax Advisory Process
We keep the entire journey simple and transparent.
Diagnose & Plan (Impact Assessment)
Implement & Comply
Protect & Optimise (Ongoing Support)
Result: You have a partner focused on proactive protection, not just annual paperwork.

Education-First, Non-Pushy Advisory Style
We know you’re tired of fear-based marketing. Our approach:
We regularly publish guides that debunk myths like “only registered consultants can file corporate tax” and clarify when you can safely do things yourself versus when a corporate tax specialist is essential.
