Why CBM Advisor

Not a generic AI. A UAE-only tax & legal specialist.

Cites the law

Every answer references the exact Federal Decree-Law, Cabinet Decision, or Ministerial Decision by number — not vague "UAE law says".

Distinguishes Mainland vs Free Zone

Never generalises "Free Zone". Names the specific zone (DMCC, DIFC, JAFZA) or flags "varies by Free Zone — verify with the Authority".

Includes the fine

Compliance questions always include the applicable penalty amount: AED 10,000 for late CT registration, AED 96,000/year Emiratisation shortfall, etc.

Warning capsule on every answer

"⚠️ Cross-verify with FTA / Free Zone Authority" — so no visitor takes an LLM answer as binding advice.
