Tax Star, developed in Dubai, has launched as the UAE’s first artificial intelligence-powered corporate tax software, created to support accountancy firms and in-house finance teams in navigating the country’s evolving tax landscape. The platform is designed to save time, reduce errors, avoid penalties, and increase client capacity without the need to expand teams.
Built specifically to manage the complexities of the UAE’s newly introduced corporate tax regime, Tax Star handles varying tax rates, exemptions, and allowances. The software is the result of over 18 months of development and has been designed by accountants for accountants. It integrates easily with existing financial systems and automates routine workflows, including tax calculations, compliance tracking, client approvals, document storage, and system integrations—all from a single interface.
Artificial intelligence continues to play an increasing role in the UAE’s accounting sector, helping firms meet corporate tax, VAT, ESG, AML, and other regulatory demands. While many tools on the market offer advisory support, Tax Star distinguishes itself by offering end-to-end workflow automation, covering the entire tax process from calculation to filing.
Rayhan Aleem, co-founder and chief executive officer of Tax Star, said, “Our vision is to build a global tax technology company, proudly headquartered in Dubai. We aim to help accountants supercharge their capabilities by enhancing productivity and reducing reliance on manual processes. Although businesses are now legally required to retain records for at least seven years, many still have tax-related documents scattered across emails, WhatsApp, accounting systems, and internal servers. Tax Star keeps everything in one place – structured, accessible, and audit-ready so firms stay compliant without the chaos.”
He further added, “What excites us most is how our AI-powered platform is reshaping compliance into something far more strategic. We are not just doing the calculations; we are replacing manual spreadsheets with a system that automates corporate tax from start to finish. This shift allows accountants to devote more time to focus on higher-value advisory work. By building intelligent tools that simplify tax calculations, we’re doing more than streamlining a process; we’re giving accounting firms a way to scale smartly, advise confidently, and lead the future of tax in Dubai and beyond.”
Accountancy firms already using Tax Star report that the platform’s AI-powered corporate tax calculator reduces processing time by 75 per cent and enables them to serve 50 per cent more clients. The company is now developing functionality to support group tax calculations for businesses operating under group structures, aiming to simplify return filings through a unified framework.
