ADVANTAGES OF HIRING A TAX AGENT IN DUBAI
Full representation before the FTA
You will not need to interact directly with the tax authority. Your tax agent will handle all communications, forms, and requirements, ensuring accurate responses within the established deadlines.
More accurate and reliable tax filings
A tax agent will review every detail, detect inconsistencies, and ensure all data is correctly presented. This reduces the risk of penalties, audits, unexpected issues, and delays in your processes.
Support and guidance during tax audits
You will receive assistance in gathering documents, explaining operations, and responding to FTA requests. This turns a complex and stressful process into a controlled procedure handled by professionals.
Defense and management of objections or appeals
In case of discrepancies with the tax authority, your tax agent can submit well-founded appeals, defend your case, and represent your interests to seek more favorable outcomes.
You will stay updated on regulatory changes
The introduction of Corporate Tax has completely transformed the tax landscape in the UAE. With LorcaBase, your company remains always up to date without worrying about legal changes.
