Driven by Results.

From Deloitte boardrooms to your boardroom — TAB Consultants brings institutional-grade finance to ambitious businesses everywhere.

Who We Are

A Practice Built by Practitioners

TAB Consultants LLC was founded by partners who spent decades at the highest levels of global professional services firms — Deloitte, Big-4 networks, and international CA bodies. We built TAB to deliver the same institutional quality to growing businesses that previously couldn't access it.

Headquartered in Sharjah (Shams Free Zone), with offices in Kuwait (Hawally) and Pakistan, we serve clients across 30+ countries. Our sister company Quick Ashford is a DMCC-approved auditor, extending our regulatory reach into Dubai's largest free zone.

Every engagement is led — not just overseen — by a qualified partner. We don't hand your file to a junior team while a partner takes credit.

Corporate Tax & VAT Advisory

Full-spectrum UAE tax compliance and strategic planning — from CT registration to transfer pricing documentation and FTA dispute resolution.

UAE Corporate Tax

Navigating CT with Confidence

UAE Corporate Tax came into effect on 1 June 2023 at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000. Compliance is mandatory — and the window for proactive planning is narrowing.

  • CT registration with the Federal Tax Authority
  • Taxable income calculation and exempt income analysis
  • Small Business Relief election and eligibility assessment
  • Related-party transaction disclosures and documentation
  • Annual CT return preparation and filing
  • Group tax structures — tax loss sharing and consolidation
  • Free zone qualifying income analysis
  • CT impact assessment for new business models

⚠️

Key CT Deadlines

CT returns are due 9 months after financial year end. Late filing penalties start at AED 1,000 per month. Register now to avoid accumulating penalties.

Transfer Pricing

OECD-Compliant TP Documentation

UAE CT introduces mandatory transfer pricing rules aligned with OECD guidelines. Related-party transactions must be at arm's length — and documented comprehensively.

  • Master File and Local File preparation (OECD BEPS Action 13)
  • Country-by-Country (CbC) Reporting for qualifying MNEs
  • Arm's length benchmarking studies
  • Intercompany agreement drafting and review
  • TP policy design for new group structures
  • FTA enquiry support and TP dispute resolution
  • Advance Pricing Agreement (APA) applications

TP Documentation Thresholds

Local FileRevenue > AED 200M
Master FileGroup revenue > AED 3.15B
CbC ReportGroup revenue > AED 3.15B

Note: Even businesses below these thresholds must be able to demonstrate arm's length pricing upon FTA request. Documentation is best practice at any size.

VAT Advisory

  • Input tax recovery and partial exemption calculations
  • Voluntary disclosure filings
  • VAT refund applications and follow-up

Voluntary Disclosure

Proactively correcting past errors through voluntary disclosure significantly reduces penalties. We assess eligibility and handle the submission.
