Business Advisory & Company Setup in Dubai
Navigate the 9% UAE Corporate Tax era and strict FTA compliance with confidence. We help local businesses and foreign investors build tax efficient, compliant, business advisory and scalable corporate structures in the UAE.
Solving the Real Financial Challenges of the Modern UAE Market
A basic trade licence is no longer enough. The UAE regulatory landscape has shifted heavily towards strict compliance, enforced deadlines and routine audits. If your corporate structure is outdated, your profits are at risk. At IBISS & CO, we handle the heavy lifting of financial compliance so you can focus on scaling. We solve the three biggest threats facing UAE businesses today.
5 Year Tax Refund Limitation
As of January 2026, the FTA enforces a strict 5 year limit on claiming VAT refunds and tax credits. If your accounts are not perfectly reconciled, you permanently forfeit your money. We conduct deep dive historical audits, reconcile your accounts and submit your refund claims before the FTA deadlines expire.
9% Corporate Tax Exposure
Many legacy company setups (both Mainland and Free Zone) are bleeding money because they have not restructured to qualify for the 0% Qualifying Income exemption or standard FTA reliefs. We audit your current setup and restructure your operations to legally minimise your Corporate Tax burden.
Severe Compliance Penalties
Failing to prove Economic Substance or update your Ultimate Beneficial Owner filings results in massive fines and immediate trade licence suspensions. Our in house compliance team handles your ESR, UBO and Anti Money Laundering (AML) filings on time, every time.

People also ask From Us
What are the ESR and UBO compliance requirements?
Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) and Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) are mandatory UAE rules to prove your business is real and transparent.
- ESR: You must prove your business actually carries out its core activities inside the UAE.
- UBO: You must officially declare exactly who owns or controls the business.
Failing to file these on time leads to massive fines, which is why our team handles these submissions for you automatically.
How does the 9% UAE Corporate Tax affect UK expats?
If your UAE business makes over AED 375,000 in taxable profit, you will need to pay the 9% Corporate Tax. However, your final tax bill depends heavily on your personal tax residency status and how your company is structured between the UK and Dubai. We make sure your business is set up properly so you only pay what you legally owe and can fully use the UK UAE Double Taxation Agreement.
What is corporate structuring advisory?
It involves designing your business ownership, control and legal entity framework to maximise tax efficiency and protect your assets.
