Dhruva launches AI platform 'to simplify' taxation in UAE
Dhruva Consultants, a leading tax advisory firm, has pioneered a framework to support UAE businesses to approach taxation through the power of Artificial Intelligence as the country's tax landscape continues to evolve with the introduction of corporate tax, and new compliance requirements. UAE organisation's and residents can log on to to enquire about tax planning, legal compliance, and regulatory advisory, it said. Designed to make tax management intuitive, predictive, and real-time, Dhruva's intelligent AI platform addresses the increasing demand for smarter compliance tools across the region. The solution harnesses the capabilities of advanced machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and natural language processing (NLP) to analyse financial data, interpret regulations, and provide instant insights tailored to UAE's unique regulatory frameworks. '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, Dhruva Consultants. 'Traditional software solves yesterday's problems. With AI, we help businesses anticipate tomorrow's tax challenges and stay ahead of regulatory change.' Unlike conventional tax platforms that remain reactive and rules-based, offers a predictive and adaptive experience. From identifying deductible expenses in corporate tax filings to modeling intercompany transactions for transfer pricing compliance, the platform acts as a virtual tax strategist for UAE-based enterprises, the company said. The system is fully integrated with major ERP platforms, allowing for quick deployment and minimal technical overhead. It continuously updates itself with the latest tax regulations and free zone nuances via API feeds and built-in audit mechanisms, ensuring ongoing compliance. With the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) increasingly leveraging digital infrastructure and encouraging voluntary compliance, Dhruva's AI's solution is aligned with the UAE's broader vision of becoming a digitally enabled, innovation-first economy. 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, reducing risk exposure while enhancing strategic agility. This proactive approach is particularly valuable for companies operating in free zones or managing complex cross-jurisdictional operations. 'As the UAE becomes a global hub for AI and regulatory innovation, is proud to support this transformation,' added Nimish. 'We see ourselves not just as a software provider, but as a strategic partner to businesses and governments striving for compliance excellence.'
