The UAE R&D tax credit launches on January 1, 2026, for tax periods starting on or after that date. However, you can register now to ensure priority processing and early preparation of your documentation.

The UAE follows OECD Frascati Manual standards. Qualifying activities include systematic investigation, experimental development, applied research, and basic research that advances scientific or technological knowledge. This covers software development, AI/ML research, pharmaceutical research, manufacturing process improvements, clean energy innovation, and more.

We combine AI-powered analysis with human tax expertise for faster, more accurate claims. Unlike traditional firms, we offer: 100% accuracy guarantee with penalty coverage, transparent success-based pricing, 90-day average turnaround (vs 6+ months), and audit-ready documentation included. Plus, our platform provides real-time tracking and insights.

We provide a free eligibility assessment before you commit. Our AI analysis quickly identifies qualifying activities, and our tax experts provide honest evaluations. If your activities don't qualify, we'll tell you upfront with no wasted time or hidden fees.

We offer transparent, success-based pricing. You only pay when you receive your credit. Our fee is a percentage of the credit recovered, with no upfront costs. We also offer a no-win-no-fee option. Contact us for a customised quote based on your estimated credit size.

The R&D tax credit is available for businesses of all sizes. Whether you're a startup with a small R&D team or an established corporation with extensive research operations, you can benefit. The credit scales with your qualifying R&D spending.

You'll need financial records showing R&D expenditure (salaries, materials, overheads), project descriptions detailing research activities, and proof of business registration in the UAE. Our platform guides you through the entire documentation process with clear checklists.

From initial signup to receiving your credit typically takes 90 days on average. The breakdown: 15 minutes to upload data, 48 hours for AI analysis and expert review, then we handle FTA submission and follow-up. Traditional methods often take 6+ months.
