Frequently Asked Questions
Is the consultation really free?
Yes, your consultation is completely free with no obligation. We'll discuss your needs and provide recommendations. You only pay if you decide to engage our services.
How long does the consultation take?
Most consultations last between 30-60 minutes depending on the complexity of your situation. We'll take as much time as needed to understand your requirements.
Can I reschedule or cancel?
Absolutely. Just reply to our confirmation email or contact us at least 24 hours before your scheduled time.
What if I have urgent tax deadlines?
If you have urgent FTA deadlines or penalties, please contact us directly instead of booking online. We prioritize urgent matters and can often accommodate same-day consultations.
Who will I be speaking with during the consultation?
Your consultation will be with one of our qualified tax consultants or accountants who specialize in UAE tax laws. Our team members have extensive experience with corporate tax, VAT regulations, and accounting standards. We ensure you speak with someone knowledgeable about your specific industry and concerns. For complex cases, we may have multiple team members review your situation beforehand to provide comprehensive guidance during your consultation.
What information should I have ready for my consultation?
While we can conduct a consultation without any documentation, having certain information ready helps us provide more accurate and specific advice. Useful items include your trade license details, current tax registration status (TRN if applicable), annual revenue estimates, list of business activities, any correspondence from the FTA, and a list of questions or concerns you have. If you're already registered for taxes, bring your most recent tax returns. If you're just starting, bring your business plan and projected figures.
Can you help me if I have FTA penalties or notices?
Yes, we regularly assist businesses dealing with FTA penalties, audit notices, or compliance issues. During your consultation, we'll review your situation, explain your options, and develop a strategy to address the issue. This might include penalty waiver applications, responding to FTA queries, voluntary disclosure procedures, or remedial compliance actions. Our goal is to minimize your financial exposure while bringing you into full compliance. Given the time-sensitive nature of penalty notices, please mention this when booking so we can prioritize your consultation.
Do you work with businesses in all Emirates, or just Dubai?
We serve businesses across all seven Emirates of the UAE: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. UAE tax laws apply federally, so the corporate tax and VAT regulations are consistent across all Emirates. However, there can be nuances in free zone regulations and local business licensing. Our team is familiar with the specific requirements of each Emirate and their respective free zones. We can provide consultations remotely via video call regardless of your location, and we also offer in-person meetings at our Dubai office for clients who prefer face-to-face discussions.
What happens after I book my consultation?
After you book online, you'll receive a confirmation email within 24 hours (usually much sooner) with your appointment details and a calendar invitation. If you selected a video call, the email will include the meeting link. One of our consultants will review your booking information and may send you a brief pre-consultation questionnaire to help maximize our time together. On the day of your consultation, your consultant will call or connect at the scheduled time. After the consultation, we'll email you a summary of our discussion and any recommended next steps, including a detailed quotation if you'd like to proceed with our services.
Can I book a consultation for a specific service like corporate tax registration?
Absolutely. While our general consultations cover your overall tax situation, we also offer focused consultations for specific needs. When booking, you can indicate whether you need help with corporate tax registration, VAT registration, tax filing, accounting setup, audit preparation, penalty waiver applications, or any other specific service. This helps us assign the most appropriate consultant and prepare relevant information for your discussion. Many clients start with a general consultation to understand their full compliance picture, then schedule follow-up consultations for specific implementations.
I'm a new business owner. Is a consultation right for me?
New businesses can benefit immensely from an early consultation. Understanding your tax obligations from day one helps you set up proper systems and avoid costly mistakes later. We can explain when you need to register for corporate tax or VAT, what records you need to maintain, how to issue compliant tax invoices, and what deadlines to watch for. We also advise on the tax implications of different business structures and locations (mainland vs free zone). Many clients tell us they wish they'd consulted us sooner, as early planning often leads to significant tax savings and simplified compliance. There's no fee for the consultation, so it's a valuable opportunity to educate yourself before making important business decisions.
How much do your services cost after the consultation?
Our pricing is transparent and varies based on the services you need and the complexity of your situation. During the consultation, we'll assess your requirements and provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden fees. Services typically start from AED 2,000-5,000 per month for ongoing accounting and tax compliance, while one-time services like tax registration or penalty waivers have fixed project fees. We believe our pricing is competitive for the quality and expertise we provide. We also offer package discounts when you bundle multiple services. Remember, the consultation and quotation are free with no obligation, so you can explore your options without any cost or pressure.
Can my business partner or accountant join the consultation?
Yes, absolutely. We encourage having relevant stakeholders present during the consultation. You can invite your business partner, accountant, bookkeeper, or any other team member who would benefit from the discussion. For video consultations, simply forward the meeting invitation to anyone who should attend. For in-person meetings, let us know the expected number of attendees so we can prepare an appropriate space. Having multiple perspectives often leads to more productive discussions and ensures everyone is aligned on next steps.
I already have an accountant. Why should I consult with Apex FinConsultants?
While your current accountant may handle bookkeeping and financial statements, UAE tax laws require specialized knowledge. Many general accountants lack specific expertise in corporate tax and VAT regulations, which have unique requirements and frequent updates. Our consultants specialize exclusively in UAE taxation and stay current with all FTA guidance. We often work alongside existing accountants as tax specialists, providing the tax expertise while they continue handling day-to-day accounting. Alternatively, if you're looking for a more comprehensive solution, our full accounting and tax compliance services may be more cost-effective than maintaining separate providers. The consultation is free, so it's worth exploring how we can complement or improve your current setup.
Do you offer ongoing support after the consultation?
Yes, many of our clients engage us for ongoing tax compliance and advisory services after their initial consultation. We offer various service levels depending on your needs, from monthly accounting and tax compliance packages to quarterly advisory retainers. We can handle all your tax registrations, filings, payments, and FTA correspondence so you can focus on running your business. We also provide ongoing advisory support as tax laws change or your business evolves. However, there's no obligation to proceed after your consultation. We'll provide our recommendations and pricing, and the decision is entirely yours.
