Someone the FTA can deal with directly

What it covers
What the engagement covers
An agent is a formal appointment, not a service label. It carries obligations to the authority as well as to you, which is the point of it.

- EmaraTax account setup and administration
- Filing on your behalf across all taxes
- Correspondence and clarification responses
- Representation during audits and reviews
- Handover file if you change agent
Who it is for
Three situations this is built for
-
Businesses without local finance staff
Nobody in the country to answer a letter within the window.
-
Groups wanting one point of contact
One agent across every entity and every tax.
-
Anyone already under review
An agent on record can respond the day the letter arrives.
How it runs
Three stages, start to finished
-
Review
Appointment
The agent linked to your account through EmaraTax, with the scope agreed in writing.
-
Work
Standing work
Filings and correspondence handled as they arise, with you copied rather than chased.
-
Close
Audit cover
If the FTA opens a review, the agent is already on record and can respond immediately.
Not included
What the fee does not cover
Listed because a scope is only clear when both halves are written down. Each of these is available; none is assumed.
- The underlying tax work itself
- Bookkeeping or audit
- Payment of tax or penalties on your behalf
- Representation before the courts
Questions we get
Answered plainly.
No. The account stays yours and the appointment is revocable at any time through EmaraTax. What changes is who the authority can talk to without waiting for you.
Yes. The appointment can be scoped to specific taxes, which is common when another firm already handles corporate tax. We will tell you where the split creates a gap.
