AI-Powered Tax · Digital Assets, Crypto & IP · Dubai
Tax intelligence that computes before it explains.
Figures come from verified engines that cite their law. Advisory memos are checked against those figures before release. The audit log is Merkle-sealed, with a public proof anyone can check.
The specialist for the hardest GCC questions — crypto, digital assets & IP.

§ 01Definitions
Interpretation
In this site:
- (1) “Computed”
- Figures come from deterministic, tested engines with their legal basis attached — not from a prompt.
- (2) “Grounded”
- Before a memo is released, a grounding gate checks its figures against the engine’s result. On a mismatch the memo is withheld and the computed result is shown.
- (3) “Sealed”
- Audit-log entries are sealed into Merkle batches. Anyone with an entry’s hash can check its inclusion on a public, no-login verifier.
- (4) “Cited”
- Advisory memos label their legal basis by evidence tier (verified primary law, official guidance or unverified) and link to the official source where we hold it.
§ 02The Specialist Edge
Virtual-asset VAT was exempted retroactively to 1 January 2018. The FTA has still published no test for when crypto trading becomes a business.
Digital assets, crypto and IP sit at the frontier of GCC tax: the law is recent, fast-moving and unforgiving. This is where breadth becomes a liability and specialist depth decides the outcome.
Virtual-asset VAT
The transfer and conversion of virtual assets is VAT-exempt under Cabinet Decision 100/2024, retroactive to 1 Jan 2018 — and the exemption changes how much input tax you may recover.
IP & intangibles
DEMPE functional analysis across transfer pricing and the QFZP qualifying-income test: the questions that move the number most.
Crypto corporate tax
Trading, mining and exchange activity taxed at 0% on the first AED 375,000 and 9% above, with the business-versus-investment question flagged where the FTA has published no bright-line test.
Reporting frontier
CARF and VARA, ADGM and DIFC obligations flagged as reporting watch-items in every virtual-asset assessment.
§ 03Schedule of services
Frontier asset classes first. Then the full UAE and KSA stack.
Computed on TitanAdvisory, delivered by our tax team
Digital Assets, Crypto & IP
Computed on TitanThe UAE’s newest and hardest questions: the VAT and corporate-tax treatment of virtual assets, and the IP and intangibles that drive transfer pricing. We tax digital assets; we do not trade them.
UAE Corporate Tax
Computed on TitanFederal Decree-Law 47 of 2022: the 0% and 9% rates, Small Business Relief and the Qualifying Free Zone Person regime, computed deterministically.
KSA Zakat, CIT & WHT
Computed on TitanSaudi Zakat base and the CIT split on foreign ownership, plus withholding tax with treaty relief, grounded in ZATCA’s published regulations and guidelines.
Transfer Pricing & Intangibles
Computed on TitanOECD-grounded arm’s-length analysis with a sharp focus on intangibles and IP — DEMPE functional characterization, intercompany transaction typing, and the Local / Master File documentation structure regulators expect.
Pillar Two & DMTT
Computed on TitanGloBE / Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax exposure for in-scope MNE groups — the OECD’s response to taxing the digital, intangible-heavy economy — with CbCR safe-harbour routing.
E-Invoicing & Compliance Ops
Computed on TitanUAE e-invoicing mandate scoping and ZATCA FATOORA invoice checks, plus the operational layer: deadlines, penalty projection and audit-ready evidence.
VAT Recovery & Adjustments
Advisory, delivered by our tax teamAdvisory, delivered by our tax team. The VAT positions that survive e-invoicing are the ones no invoice carries: how much input tax you may actually recover, and the capital-asset adjustments that run for up to ten years after the purchase.
§ 04Grounded AI
AI that is grounded in verified computation.
Generic AI invents numbers. Ours is checked: before a memo is released, a grounding gate compares its figures with the verified engine result and withholds the memo on a mismatch.
Grounded AI advisory
The AI writes over a verified engine result. A grounding gate checks the memo’s figures against that result and your stated facts; on any mismatch the memo is discarded and the deterministic result is returned.
Tax Copilot with live engine tool-use
Ask in plain language. The copilot routes the question to a verified engine, runs it and answers from the engine’s figures. If its prose cites a number outside the result, the prose is dropped and the computed result is shown.
Law-change modelling
Change the UAE Corporate Tax rate or the 0% band and re-run the verified engine across up to 200 entities, with each change labelled by whether it cites a verified legal source.
Peer benchmarking
Place your effective tax rate or readiness score within a set of peer figures you supply: median, quartiles and your percentile, with every statistic withheld below five peers.

The illustrative position above
Tax payable: AED 320,850.
Figures match the engine result → released
Tax payable: AED a figure that is not in the engine result.
Figure not in the engine result → withheld; the computed result is shown
§ 05Defensible by construction
Built for the audit trail, not the demo.
Deterministic engines
Statutory computations run in tested code, not prompts. The same inputs, including the as-of date, give the same figures, with the legal basis attached.
Forensic Merkle seal
Audit-log entries are sealed into Merkle batches by a scheduled job. Anyone with an entry’s hash can check its inclusion on our public, no-login verifier.
Tier-labelled authorities
Legal bases in advisory memos and client deliverables carry an evidence tier (verified primary law, official guidance or unverified) and link to the official source when it is in our verified register.
