These professionals are approved by the FTA after their tax qualifications, experience, and knowledge are thoroughly verified through the Tax Advisor Examination. The FTA also maintains a tax agent register for each tax agent, which records all matters relating to the tax agent’s professional activities.
For more information about tax agents, see the article Tax agents under UAE VAT.

Please note that the appointment of a tax representative is not mandatory for compliance activities. When hiring a tax agent, it is important to remember that the company is responsible for the accuracy of its compliance obligations.
Tax Accounting Software Provider
Tax Accounting Software is designed to accurately capture and produce accounting information for tax reporting. When businesses implement automated systems for storing tax records, they reduce the rate of tax filing errors, thereby reducing compliance costs and penalties. Additionally, the software can generate reports to track your tax liability. The FTA is in the process of certifying certain tax accounting software providers based on a number of guidelines. Taxpayers can choose the right tax accounting software to facilitate their compliance activities.
Therefore, the FTA has developed various mechanisms to help companies carry out their compliance activities correctly.
