Registered Tax Agent Services in the UAE
FTA-Approved Tax Agent Representation for VAT, Corporate Tax, and Regulatory Compliance
A registered tax agent is a professional formally approved by the Federal Tax Authority to represent businesses and individuals before the FTA — managing tax obligations, responding to official queries, and acting as the authorised representative in compliance and dispute matters.
Farahat & Co. is a registered FTA tax agent with over 40 years of experience, providing comprehensive tax agent services for businesses across the UAE.
What is a Registered Tax Agent?
Under Federal Law No. 7 of 2017 on Tax Procedures, a tax agent is defined as any person registered with the Federal Tax Authority who is appointed to represent another person before the FTA, assist them in fulfilling their tax obligations, and exercise their associated tax rights on their behalf.
In practical terms, a registered tax agent is a regulated professional authorised to manage a business’s tax affairs directly with the FTA. This includes VAT compliance, Corporate Tax obligations, filing requirements, audit representation, and dispute proceedings.
Businesses that appoint a registered tax agent benefit from having a formally authorised representative who can deal with the FTA on their behalf — managing deadlines, responding to official queries, and ensuring compliance obligations are met accurately and on time.
What Are the Responsibilities of a Registered Tax Agent?
When appointed by a taxable person, a registered tax agent is required to:
- Ensure the taxable person meets all their obligations as a tax-registered business in accordance with UAE tax law and the terms of the appointment
- Maintain strict confidentiality over all financial information, records, and data belonging to the taxable person throughout and after the engagement
- Provide the FTA with information, documents, and records only when formally requested in accordance with applicable UAE tax law
- Decline to facilitate or support any arrangement that would undermine the integrity of the UAE tax system or violate applicable laws
It is important to note that the FTA is authorised to use the documents or records of a taxable person for tax audit purposes when formally requested.
How to Appoint a Registered Tax Agent in the UAE
Taxable persons may appoint a registered tax agent at any time to represent them directly before the FTA. The appointment is formalised through the FTA’s EmaraTax portal and gives the agent the authority to act on the taxable person’s behalf in all FTA-related matters.
Where a taxable person terminates the appointment of a tax agent and notifies the FTA accordingly, the agent’s authority to deal with the FTA on their behalf ceases immediately.
Appointing a registered tax agent is particularly valuable for businesses that need ongoing support with VAT or Corporate Tax compliance, face an FTA audit, are involved in a tax dispute, or require a formally authorised representative to manage all FTA communications.
