Did you know accounting has a Renaissance connection?

Picture this: it's 1494, and Luca Pacioli, a Franciscan friar and mathematician, publishes a book that lays out, for the first time in print, the system of double-entry bookkeeping merchants had been quietly using for years. That book earns him the title "Father of Accounting."

But Pacioli wasn't just a numbers guy. He was close friends with Leonardo da Vinci, who illustrated one of his other books. And in his spare time, he studied and wrote about magic tricks and sleight of hand.

We love this one because it's proof that the best problem-solvers rarely stay in one lane. The same mind that brought structure to the ledger also chased curiosity everywhere else.

So here's to keeping the books, and staying a little bit magic.

According to my calculations...

YOU'RE OVERPAYING YOUR TAXES.

Your books might look fine on the surface. But if you're not optimizing every deduction, every credit, every legitimate position — you're leaving money on the table.

That's what we do. We dig into your numbers, find what you're missing, and make sure what you owe is actually what you owe — not a penny more.

Stop guessing. Get clarity.

Who qualifies for UAE corporate tax relief?

It comes down to revenue thresholds and eligibility criteria. A small business isn't simply exempted — it's about meeting specific conditions, tracking your numbers correctly, and claiming the benefit the right way.

Tax relief is where it becomes genuinely multi-dimensional. Revenue limits, business structure, and compliance rules all have to align before a single claim is filed. Small errors early in the calculation compound into significant relief problems later.

We put together a detailed breakdown of who qualifies, key revenue limits, and what businesses can do to stay in control of their numbers.

You say you don't need an accountant, but...

That's where we come in. ebs Chartered Accountants handles the complexity so you can focus on what matters — growing your business.

Missing your UAE corporate tax registration deadline can cost you up to AED 10,000 in penalties. 😳

Here's what small businesses need to know:

✅ Registration happens through the FTA's EmaraTax portal
✅ Have your trade licence, company details, and Emirates ID/passport ready
✅ For most businesses with a 31 Dec year-end, the deadline is 30 September 2026
✅ Registration and filing are separate deadlines — don't mix them up

The process isn't complicated. Leaving it too late is what gets owners in trouble.

At ebs Chartered Accountants, we make sure it's done right the first time — no scrambling, no surprise penalties.

Under FTA Decision No. 7 of 2026, the rules cover goods that are perishable, subject to shortage or leakage, or may pose a risk to other goods or facilities.

Where the required conditions are met, seized or abandoned goods may be sold through a public auction, with specific procedures governing the sale and allocation of the proceeds.

Urgent Tax Update: FTA Decision No. 7 of 2026

The Federal Tax Authority has issued a decision allowing seized or abandoned goods to be sold at public auction where due taxes and penalties remain unsettled.

This is a critical reminder for businesses with goods currently held, seized, or flagged by customs and tax authorities to act before penalties escalate further and assets are lost.
