What an FTA Registered Tax Agent
An FTA registered tax agent works under the Federal Tax Authority. This role exists under Federal Decree Law No. 28 of 2022 and Federal Law No. 7 of 2017 on Tax Procedures. The agent holds a Tax Agency Approval Number and a Tax Agent Number. A licensed tax agency appoints them to help a taxable person meet tax obligations.
These duties cover VAT registration, corporate tax registration, and excise tax registration. The agent carries professional indemnity insurance. They hold a bachelor’s degree in accounting, tax, or law. They need three years of relevant tax experience and must pass the FTA tax agent examination, following the IESBA Code of Ethics.
How This List Was Compiled
Sourced directly from the FTA’s official Tax Agent Register
We pulled every name from the FTA Tax Agent Register on tax gov. This is the official register the Federal Tax Authority keeps. It lists each agent’s TAAN, firm, and emirate. We used the Emirate filter to confirm each Dubai listing. No name here comes from guesswork or a private source.
Why we recommend verifying every agent yourself before appointing
Rules change, and agents can lose their status. We recommend you run your own TAAN cross check before you sign anything. Search the FTA public register directly. Confirm the agent’s active registration status still holds. An unregistered agent cannot legally represent your business before the FTA.

How to Verify Any Tax Agent Yourself on the FTA Register
Searching the register by emirate or TAAN
The FTA register lets you search by location or ID number. Use the Emirate filter to narrow results to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, or Umm Al Quwain. You can also enter a specific number in the TAAN search field. A plain keyword search works too, using the agent’s name or firm.
Confirming the agent’s status is active, not expired
A listed name does not always mean active registration status. Check the FTA record update date on each entry. Some agents skip tax agent renewal and reach registration expiry. Run a quick agent status check before you sign any contract. The Tax Agent Exam UAE Guide Calendar can also help you stay aware of relevant registration and renewal timelines. Re-verification takes two minutes and protects your business.
How to Choose the Right Tax Agent for Your Business
Start with free zone coverage or mainland coverage, matching your license type. Look for sector specific experience in fields like real estate, construction, or healthcare. Check for VAT specialization or corporate tax specialization where your business needs it. Assurance Corps offers multi-emirate coverage across Dubai and beyond.
Ask about tax audit representation and FTA dispute representation before you sign. A strong agent gives voluntary disclosure filing and penalty mitigation support. We assign a dedicated point of contact for every client.
FAQs
What does TAAN mean and why does it matter?
TAAN is a Tax Agency Approval Number the FTA issues. It confirms a firm can legally represent taxable persons. A matching TAN definition applies to the individual agent handling your account.
Is it mandatory for a UAE business to appoint a tax agent?
Appointing a tax agent is not always mandatory. It becomes necessary once a business passes the VAT registration threshold or corporate tax registration threshold and needs formal FTA representation.
Can a business switch its registered tax agent at any time?
Yes. A business can end one tax agent appointment contract and start another. This requires FTA notification of appointment to keep records accurate during the process of switching tax agents.
Does a free zone company need a different tax agent than mainland?
Not always. A free zone tax agent and a mainland tax agent can be the same firm, as long as that firm covers both jurisdictions under one FTA registration.
How can I confirm a tax agent’s FTA registration before hiring them?
Run an FTA credential verification using the agent’s TAAN. A direct tax agent register lookup on the FTA’s official site confirms active status in under two minutes.
