Andersen in the UAE

About Andersen in the UAE

Andersen's UAE member firms focus on tax and advisory work, with offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai Media City and the Jebel Ali Free Zone. They form the UAE arm of Andersen Global, an association of independent member firms. The practice serves individual and commercial clients from start-up through maturity and publishes regular alerts on VAT, corporate tax and Pillar Two developments. Service areas include direct, indirect and international tax, transfer pricing, deals advisory, valuation and risk advisory. A corporate advisory offer, delivered by a corporate legal team working with tax staff, lists company formation, regulatory support, deregistration, liquidation and restructuring, together with secretarial services, annual filings and PRO services. International work centres on tax planning for multinational groups and cross-border structuring rather than on a programme for non-resident founders. The chief executive is named on the people page. The website is in English and shows no prices.
