Client Feedback
What clients say about working with us
CORVAT untangled a genuinely complicated inter-company structure and had our transfer pricing file in order well before the deadline. The documentation was clear enough that our auditors had almost no follow-up questions.
Group Financial Controller
Trading & Distribution Group, Dubai
We came in with two years of neglected books. They rebuilt the records, reconciled everything and had us registered and filing correctly within a quarter. The monthly MIS is now what our board actually runs on.
Managing Director
Industrial Services Company, Sharjah
What stands out is responsiveness. Questions get answered the same day, in plain language, with the regulation referenced. That is rare, and it makes planning far easier.

FAQ
Questions we are asked most
Still unsure where you stand? A short call is usually enough to give you a clear answer.
Who must register for UAE Corporate Tax?
Broadly, every taxable person conducting business in the UAE — including mainland and most free zone entities — must register with the Federal Tax Authority and obtain a Corporate Tax Registration Number, even where the effective tax outcome is nil. We confirm your specific position before filing.
What is the difference between VAT and Corporate Tax?
VAT is a consumption tax charged on goods and services and reported periodically, while Corporate Tax applies to the annual taxable profit of a business. They carry separate registrations, deadlines and record-keeping duties, and we handle both under one engagement.
Do inter-company transactions need transfer pricing documentation?
Transactions with related parties and connected persons must meet the arm's-length standard. Depending on revenue and group thresholds, a local file, master file and disclosure form may be required — we assess your thresholds and prepare what applies.
Can you take over bookkeeping that has fallen behind?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is a common starting point. We reconstruct prior periods, reconcile balances and bring records to an audit-ready standard before moving you onto a monthly cycle.
How do you charge for your services?
Engagements are quoted as a fixed monthly retainer or a defined project fee after a scoping call, so there are no hourly surprises. Scope, deliverables and deadlines are agreed in writing up front.
