Who We Are
MEG Tax Agent is a tax agency registered with the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Our team of qualified Tax Consultants, Chartered Accountants and Advisors has the expertise and dedication to ensure you receive the right advice to help you comply with the ever-increasing tax laws and regulations in the UAE.
As an FTA-registered tax agent, we are legally authorised to represent your business directly before the Federal Tax Authority — for registration, filings, audits, and disputes. With MEG Tax Agent as your trusted partner, your financial management and tax compliance needs are in safe hands.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to protect UAE businesses from FTA penalties. Tax rules in the UAE are evolving quickly — VAT, Corporate Tax, and the incoming e-invoicing mandate all carry real financial risk when handled incorrectly. We give business owners clarity, keep them compliant, and let them focus on running their business.
What an FTA-Registered Tax Agent Actually Is
In the UAE, “tax agent” is not a marketing label — it is a regulated status defined in law. Article 12 of Federal Decree-Law No. 28 of 2022 on Tax Procedures establishes a Register of Tax Agents at the Federal Tax Authority and states that no person may practise the profession of a Tax Agent in the State unless they meet the registration conditions, are listed in that Register, and hold a licence from the competent local authority.
The practical difference matters. An accountant can prepare your numbers; only a listed Tax Agent can formally act in your name before the FTA. Article 14 of the same Decree-Law gives every business the right to appoint a Tax Agent to act in its name and on its behalf in its tax affairs — which is what allows us to handle registrations, filings, audits, reconsiderations and correspondence with the Authority directly.
The conditions required to be listed
The requirements sit in Article 12 of Cabinet Decision No. 74 of 2023, the Executive Regulation of the Tax Procedures Law. A natural person must satisfy every one of them — there is no partial listing:
| Condition | What the Executive Regulation requires |
|---|---|
| Conduct | Good conduct and behaviour, with no conviction for a crime or misdemeanour prejudicial to honour or honesty — even if rehabilitated. |
| Education & experience | One of three defined routes combining a recognised degree with documented experience in tax, accounting or law (see below). |
| FTA examination | Completion of any training specified by the Authority and a pass in the qualifying examination it sets. |
| Language | Ability to communicate orally and in writing in Arabic or English. |
| Insurance | Valid professional indemnity insurance appropriate to the nature and size of the agent’s business. |
| Licence | Holds a licence, or works for a licensed entity, from the competent authority. |
The three qualification routes
Article 12(1)(c) allows exactly three combinations of degree and experience:
| Route | Degree | Experience required |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bachelor’s or Master’s in tax, accounting or law | At least 3 years, obtained within the last 5 years |
| 2 | Bachelor’s in any other field plus a valid professional qualification recognised by the FTA | At least 3 years, obtained within the last 5 years |
| 3 | Bachelor’s in any other field | At least 5 years, obtained within the last 8 years |
A firm applying as a juridical person faces a separate test under Article 12(2): it must be licensed as an audit, tax or law firm, carry professional indemnity insurance, and have at least one director or partner who personally meets all of the natural-person conditions and who supervises the services provided.
What a listed agent is obliged to do
Article 14 of Cabinet Decision No. 74 of 2023 sets out the duties every Tax Agent owes while performing its work:
- Assist with your tax obligations before the Authority, in line with the agreement concluded between you and the agent.
- Maintain confidentiality of any information obtained in the course of the engagement, subject only to a legal obligation to disclose.
- Continue professional development to the standard the Authority specifies — competence has to be maintained, not just proven once.
- Refuse any work or plan that may result in a breach of law or adversely affect the integrity of the tax system.
- Keep the information, documents, records and data relating to every person the agent represents.
⚠️ The point most agencies leave out
Appointing a tax agent does not transfer your legal liability. Article 14(1) of the Decree-Law allows you to appoint an agent to act in your name “without prejudice to that Person’s responsibility” under the law. The obligation to be correct stays with your business — which is precisely why the competence of the agent you choose is a financial decision, not an administrative one.
Listing is not permanent either. Under Article 13(8) of Cabinet Decision No. 74 of 2023, a natural person’s listing runs for three years and a juridical person’s for one year, and renewal must be applied for no later than 20 business days before expiry. An agent who lets a listing lapse is delisted — and is automatically delinked from every client they represent before the Authority. When you check that your agent’s TAAN is current, you are checking something real.
