Bridgewater Management Consultancies — FTA Approved Agency

BWMC · Dubai, UAE

Tax Agency Support in Dubai and the UAE

Give your business a clear point of contact for agreed tax matters.

What this service covers

BWMC helps businesses organise tax compliance work and discuss representation before the Federal Tax Authority. An engagement should identify the relevant taxes, the authorised representative, the appointment process and the tasks included. Representation begins through the appropriate authorisation; it should not rely on informal sharing of account credentials.

Appointing a tax agent or agency does not transfer the taxable person’s legal responsibilities. Your business must provide complete information, approve relevant submissions and meet payment and other obligations. The FTA determines assessments, refunds and other regulatory outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

What should a tax agency appointment cover?

It should specify the entity, tax types, authorised tasks, communication arrangements, responsibilities and fees. Confirm the relevant registration and appointment requirements through the FTA’s official process.

Does appointing an agent remove our tax liability?

No. The taxable person retains responsibilities under tax legislation. An adviser supports agreed work, but management must still provide accurate information and fulfil its obligations.

Should I send my EmaraTax password?

Use the official appointment or authorisation process appropriate to the engagement. Do not send passwords or one-time codes through a public contact form.

Can BWMC guarantee a refund or penalty cancellation?

No. We can assess the facts and help prepare the relevant submission within the agreed scope. Decisions remain with the competent authority and depend on the law and evidence.

Can you take over an existing engagement?

A transition requires a clear handover of records, pending correspondence, filing dates and authorisations. Discuss the current position before ending an existing appointment or changing access.
