From complex real estate VAT reconciliations to Free Zone trading profit optimization, our partners have assisted prominent market leaders across key Middle Eastern & Indian sectors.
Real estate in the UAE and India faces intricate tax treatment. In the UAE, the VAT classification of the first supply of residential property (zero-rated within 3 years) versus subsequent supplies (exempt), commercial leasing (standard rated 5%), and vacant land (exempt) requires surgical precision.
Both Faizan Bashamakh and Heena Pawaskar have advised large real estate developers, contractors, and asset managers on complex property VAT refunds and corporate structuring across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and India.
Faizan’s experience as Group Tax Manager at AW Rostamani Group — a major retail and automotive conglomerate spanning 9 jurisdictions — provides our clients with high-volume, multi-brand retail tax expertise.
Omnichannel retailers and manufacturers manage thousands of SKUs, cross-border customs imports, promotional discount schemes, and complex consignment inventory across GCC borders.
Freight forwarders, 3PL providers, and transport operators operate under specialized VAT regimes, including zero-rated international transport of goods and passengers, customs bonded warehouses, and cross-border trucking.
We ensure freight bills, air waybills, and customs declarations line up precisely with your quarterly VAT returns, preventing costly FTA assessments.
Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZP) can secure a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying activities such as manufacturing, processing, and trading of qualifying commodities.
The UAE is the world's pre-eminent trading nexus. Free Zone companies operating in DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC, IFZA, DAFZA, or Meydan require diligent tax oversight to prevent inadvertent loss of 0% tax benefits.
