Tax Agent Services – Hire Certified Tax Agent
Registered Tax Agent Regulated by the FTA (Federal Tax Authority)
Registered Tax Agent Services in the UAE
Put an FTA-approved representative between your business and every audit, query, or filing deadline.
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 decades of experience, providing tax agent services for businesses across the UAE.
- FTA representation: formally authorised to act on your behalf in all tax-related proceedings.
- Full compliance support: VAT and Corporate Tax registration, filing, and ongoing regulatory monitoring.
- Audit and dispute representation: managing document requests, queries, and FTA correspondence directly.
- Confidential handling: strict confidentiality over all financial information and records.
Appointing a registered tax agent means your business always has a formally authorised point of contact with the FTA, rather than management having to interpret and respond to official notices without regulatory backup.

What Is a Registered Tax Agent in the UAE?
Under Federal Decree-Law No. 28 of 2021 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, covering VAT compliance, Corporate Tax obligations, filing requirements, audit representation, and dispute proceedings.
Businesses that appoint a registered tax agent gain 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, rather than relying on ad hoc internal handling of regulatory correspondence.

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 once confirmed, it gives the agent formal authority to act on the taxable person’s behalf across all FTA-related matters, including filings, queries, and audit correspondence.
Where a taxable person later terminates the appointment and notifies the FTA accordingly, the agent’s authority to deal with the FTA on their behalf ceases immediately, and the FTA updates its records to reflect the change.
Appointing a registered tax agent is particularly valuable for businesses that need ongoing support with VAT or Corporate Tax compliance, are facing an FTA audit, are involved in a tax dispute, or simply want a formally authorised representative managing all FTA communications on their behalf.
Tax Agent vs. Tax Consultant: What Is the Difference?
The two roles are often used interchangeably, but they are legally distinct. A tax consultant provides advisory and planning services on tax matters, helping a business understand its obligations, structure its affairs efficiently, and interpret how UAE tax law applies to its specific situation.
A registered tax agent, by contrast, is formally authorised by the FTA to act as the legal representative of a taxable person, filing returns, managing compliance obligations, and representing the business directly before the FTA in audits and disputes.
A tax consultant cannot represent a business before the FTA in an official capacity unless they are also a registered tax agent. Farahat & Co. operates as both, which means the same team advising on strategy can also step in as the formally authorised representative once FTA correspondence begins.
