As of 31 August 2026 our firm is officially listed in the Tax Agency Register of the Federal Tax Authority which makes us a fully recognised FTA registered tax agent in Dubai rather than simply a firm that advises from the sidelines. Becoming an FTA registered tax agent is not a small administrative update. It changes what we are legally able to do on a client’s behalf when dealing directly with the tax authority.
What Does It Mean to Be an FTA Registered Tax Agency in UAE?
For years many businesses have relied on a corporate tax consultancy in Dubai for advice, while still having to handle their own direct correspondence with the FTA whenever something needed formal representation. That gap is exactly what becoming a tax agency in UAE closes for a firm like ours. Being recognised as a tax agency means we can now stand in that gap for our clients rather than leaving them to face it alone.
Becoming an FTA-registered tax agent in Dubai is not something a firm is simply handed. It requires meeting the Authority’s set standards around qualification, professional experience and ongoing conduct before an application is even accepted. Once approved the firm is placed on the FTA’s public Tax Agency Register which anyone can check to confirm the registration is genuine.
For a business owner this distinction matters more than it might first appear. A firm that only offers advice can help you understand your obligations but cannot formally act for you when the FTA requires direct engagement. A firm holding a tax agency in UAE status can actually step into that role on your behalf which removes a layer of stress and delay from the process.
What Can a Registered Tax Agent Do That a Regular Accountant Cannot?
A regular corporate tax consultancy in Dubai is excellent at bookkeeping and preparing your figures and offering general tax guidance. What changes once a firm becomes an FTA registered tax agent in Dubai, is the ability to be appointed by a client as their Tax Agent through the FTA’s own EmaraTax system. This enables them to then act directly on that client’s behalf in dealings with the Authority. As an FTA-registered tax agent in Dubai this includes handling registrations and returns and refund claims and clarification requests and reconsideration requests and voluntary disclosures under the firm’s own agency status.
It also means being able to represent and support a client through an FTA audit or assessment or any formal correspondence that arises. This is the practical difference between a corporate tax consultancy in Dubai that only advises from a distance and one holding a genuine tax agency in UAE status that can stand alongside a client at every stage of a tax matter rather than only preparing the paperwork beforehand.
How Can a Client Verify a Tax Agency’s Registration With the FTA?
Verifying that a corporate tax consultancy in Dubai genuinely holds a tax agency in UAE status is straightforward and it protects you as a client. The Federal Tax Authority maintains a public register of approved Tax Agents and Tax Agencies which anyone can search to confirm that a firm claiming this status is actually listed. This transparency exists precisely so clients are never left taking a firm’s word for it on trust alone.
Before appointing any firm to represent you formally before the FTA it is worth checking this register directly rather than assuming a firm’s marketing claims are accurate. A genuine FTA registered tax agent in Dubai operating as a proper tax agency in UAE will have nothing to hide from this check and should be able to point you to their listing without hesitation. This simple step protects a business from relying on representation that does not actually carry the authority it claims to.
What Services Can ebs Now Provide as a Registered Tax Agency?
With this registration ebs chartered accountants can now offer a wider and more direct range of services built around genuine FTA representation rather than advice alone.

On top of that we also represent and support clients directly through FTA audits, assessments and any formal correspondence that arises during those processes. This gives clients the added assurance of working with a tax agency in UAE whose status is fully verifiable on the FTA’s own public register rather than simply taking assurances at face value.
