The Real Problem
Tax obligations don't care about how busy you are.
UAE VAT has been in place since 2018. Corporate Tax since 2023. The FTA has been building its audit capability steadily. Businesses that have been managing compliance manually — or not managing it at all — are running out of runway. The penalty structure for late filing, incorrect filing, and voluntary disclosure failures is steep and non-negotiable.
The solution is not more spreadsheets. It's a compliance function that knows the rules, tracks the obligations, and files on time without being asked.
What's Included
Six core deliverables
UAE VAT Filing
01
Quarterly VAT returns prepared accurately and filed on time with the FTA. Input tax claims reviewed, output tax confirmed, and the return reconciled to your accounting records before submission. No estimates.
UAE Corporate Tax (CT) Management
02
CT registration, quarterly instalment calculations, annual CT return preparation, and transfer pricing documentation where required. Taxable income computed correctly — not estimated or deferred.
Voluntary Disclosure Support
03
If there are historical errors or missed filings, OPS manages the voluntary disclosure process with the FTA. Early disclosure typically results in materially reduced penalties — we have the case results to prove it.
Canadian GST/HST & Provincial Tax
04
GST/HST registration, quarterly or annual return filing, and input tax credit claims for Canadian businesses. Provincial tax obligations (PST, QST) managed across jurisdictions.
Cross-Border Tax Coordination
05
For businesses operating in both UAE and Canada (or other jurisdictions), we coordinate the tax positions across entities — treaty application, transfer pricing, and intercompany transactions documented correctly.
Audit Response & Representation
06
If the FTA, CRA, or another authority comes calling, OPS manages the response. Documentation assembled, position papers written, and the process handled professionally — not reactively.
How It Works
From assessment to running
01
Compliance Health Check
We review your filing history, current obligations, open periods, and any FTA or CRA correspondence. We identify what's current, what's at risk, and what needs immediate action.
02
Backlog Clearance
Outstanding filings brought current. Voluntary disclosures filed where needed. Penalty mitigation strategy executed. For UAE CT, registration completed and opening position established.
03
Compliance Calendar Setup
A forward-looking compliance calendar built for every obligation — VAT return dates, CT instalments, payroll remittances, and annual filing deadlines. Nothing missed by accident.
04
Ongoing Filing Management
Every obligation filed on time, every period. Returns reconciled to accounting records. FTA portal and CRA My Account monitored. New obligations identified as the business changes.
OPS Tax & Regulatory Compliance Practice
"The FTA assessment was AED 218,000. OPS filed the voluntary disclosure, documented the position, and got it down to AED 52,000. Then they built the system that makes sure it never happens again."
