Twenty years of tax and audit practice across the UAE and UK — organised around partners who read your accounts personally, not junior teams who file templates.
The Ministry's clarification narrows the definition of "qualifying activities" and reintroduces substance thresholds. Here's the practical read-through for holding structures.
Read the briefing →CBM Consultants was founded to do one thing well: give business owners in the UAE and UK the same standard of financial advisory that global firms reserve for their largest clients — without the layers, the account managers, or the leverage model that keeps partners at arm’s length.
Every engagement is led by a partner. Every return is reviewed by a partner. Every FTA letter, bank query and audit finding lands on a partner’s desk. Not because we’re small — because that’s the standard the work demands.
We are chartered accountants first, tax advisors second, and technology-enabled always. Our practice is built on IFRS, on the FTA regime, and on the assumption that our clients deserve to understand their own numbers.
Before the pitch, before the price, before the scope — we read the accounts. It’s the only way to know what actually needs doing.
Every recommendation is documented. Every position is defensible. Every filing is auditable in ten years.
Fee changes, scope changes, deadline changes — flagged early, in writing, always. No mid-engagement invoices from nowhere.
We revise our internal guidance every time the FTA does. That research is our overhead, not our client’s invoice line.
