Privacy notice
This site is a tax reference. It has no enquiry form and no advertising. Google Analytics 4 measures which pages are used — but only if you accept cookies when the notice at the bottom of the page asks. Personal data you choose to send still reaches us only if you call, message or email.
Who is responsible for your data
This site is published by TaxAdvisors, at Aspin Commercial Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
A privacy notice has to name a controller a reader can write to. The controller is TaxAdvisors, at Aspin Commercial Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Anything in this notice can be raised at info@taxadvisors.ae or on +971 58 541 4616.
This site is not established in the DIFC or in ADGM. The applicable regime is Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data. If that ever changes, this notice will say so before any new collection begins.
How we receive personal data
There is no enquiry form on this site. The earlier one was removed because it had nowhere to send anything: it collected a name, an email address and a question, showed a confirmation, and then discarded them. Contact is by telephone, WhatsApp or email, using the details on the contact page.
When you use those channels we receive whatever you send: typically a name, a number or email address, and the question. WhatsApp and the telephone network are third-party services with their own terms. If a form is ever connected, this section will say where submissions are stored, in which country, who can read them and how long they are kept, before it goes live.
Do not send Emirates ID, passport, bank details, salary figures or a copy of a return unless we have asked for that specific document. A first question can be answered from a description of the situation. If we need a trade licence to quote, we will ask.
Publishing questions
Useful questions may later be published, anonymised, so the next person searching finds the answer already written. A published question keeps only the substance of the tax problem. Your name, your company, your email address, your phone number, and any figure or identifier specific to you are not published, and the question is rewritten rather than quoted where quoting it would identify you.
If you would rather your question were never published in any form, say so when you send it and it will not be.
Cookies and what is stored in your browser
This site stores two values in your browser's local storage. Google Analytics 4 sets first-party cookies on this domain, but only after you accept cookies in the notice at the bottom of the page:
| Key | What it holds | Why |
|---|---|---|
ta-theme | light or dark | Remembers the theme you picked so the page does not flash the wrong one on the next visit. It is written only if you use the toggle. It is never sent to a server. |
ta-cookie-consent | accepted or declined | Remembers your answer to the cookie notice so it is asked once and never nagged. Written when you press Accept or Decline. It is never sent to a server. |
_ga, _ga_* | A random identifier | Google Analytics 4 uses these to tell visits apart. They are first-party cookies on taxadvisors.ae and they are set only after you accept cookies. They are not used to show ads. Google processes the measurement in the United States under its Analytics terms. |
There is no advertising pixel, no heatmap or session recorder, no chat
widget, no embedded video or map, and no third-party font host. Fonts
and the site's own scripts are served from this domain. The only
third-party script is Google's tag for Analytics 4
(measurement ID G-BSKVQENYR0), which loads only after you
accept cookies — declining means it never loads.
To change your mind after choosing, clear this site's data in your browser's settings. That removes the stored choice and any Analytics cookies, and the notice appears again on the next visit. SiteGround also sets its own operational cookies when serving the site; those are outside this notice and cannot be declined without leaving the site.
Server logs
This site is static and is served by SiteGround. Like any web host, SiteGround records requests, and those records include the IP address the request came from, the user agent string and the URL requested. Those logs are held by SiteGround under its own retention policy and terms, not by this site, and nothing here reads them to identify an individual visitor.
Your rights
Under UAE federal data-protection law a person generally has rights to access their personal data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have data deleted, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to withdraw a consent they gave. The precise scope, the exceptions and the time limits are set by the applicable law and its implementing regulations, and they differ between the federal regime and the DIFC and ADGM regimes.
In practice the only personal data this site holds of its own is what you choose to send by telephone, WhatsApp or email. Raise an access, correction or erasure request at info@taxadvisors.ae or on +971 58 541 4616.
Children
This site is written for adults dealing with a business or personal tax obligation. It is not directed at children and asks for nothing from them.
Changes to this notice
When this notice changes materially the change is described here rather than announced by a silently updated date. The page carries no "last updated" stamp today, because a stamp that is generated at build time records when the site was rebuilt, not when a person changed the policy — and on this site that distinction is the whole point. See the editorial standards.
