Dhruva launches AI-powered platform for UAE tax laws and regulations

Dhruva Consultants, a Middle East tax advisory firm, has launched a new AI-powered tool that helps businesses in the UAE with navigating the region’s increasingly complex tax and regulatory landscape.

Designed to inform UAE businesses and residents on tax regulations and what is needed for optimized planning and compliance, the AI-driven platform addresses the increasing demand for smart tools in the domain. In recent years, the UAE’s tax framework has become more complex, among others due to the introduction of corporate tax and new tax compliance requirements.

According to Dhruva Consultants, its solution harnesses the capabilities of advanced machine learning (ML), large language models (LLMs), and natural language processing (NLP) to analyze financial data, interpret regulations, and provide insights tailored to the UAE’s regulatory frameworks.

The tool, branded as DhruvAI.tax, continuously updates itself with the latest tax regulations and free zone nuances via feeds and built-in audit mechanisms, ensuring ongoing compliance.

“Our vision was clear from the start – to remove the complexity surrounding taxation and empower businesses with clarity, control, and confidence,” said Nimish Goel, GCC Leader at Dhruva Consultants. “Traditional software solves yesterday’s problems. With AI, we help businesses anticipate tomorrow’s tax challenges and stay ahead of regulatory change.”

For example, the tool can help a UAE business rapidly identify deductible expenses in corporate tax filings, bring clarity to transfer pricing compliance for enterprises, model intercompany transactions, assess the impact of corporate tax, and manage complex cross-jurisdictional tax operations.

At a more strategic financial level, the platform’s ability to simulate various business scenarios – such as mergers, restructurings, or cross-border transactions – gives CFOs and tax advisors the power to make informed decisions in advance, as well as reducing risk exposure.

Having launched in the UAE, Dhruva Consultants said that the consulting firm is already working on tailored modules for the Saudi Arabian and Qatari markets, with plans to launch in the coming year.

Dhruva Consultants has over 160 staff across offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh. The company specialises in VAT, corporate tax, transfer pricing, and international taxation.
