Dubai-based Vigor Accounting & Consultancy has earned official approval from the UAE’s Federal Tax Authority (FTA) as a registered tax agency, a milestone that underscores its commitment to delivering trusted, compliant tax and accounting services. This honour confirms that Vigor’s systems, professionals, and practices adhere to the FTA’s rigorous standards, positioning the firm among an elite group authorised to represent clients before the Authority.
The FTA’s approval process ensures only highly qualified, ethical professionals can serve as tax agents in the UAE. Vigor’s achievement reflects extensive preparation, legal alignment, and a team-wide dedication to integrity. At the forefront of this effort are the company’s founder, Maurice Dsilva and co-founder Anees Ali, whose leadership has guided Vigor Accounting & Consultancy towards becoming a trusted name in the local compliance space.

"Our goal was always to create a service platform that businesses could depend on, not only to stay compliant, but to stay protected," said Maurice Dsilva. "This FTA recognition shows that we’ve built something reliable - something that earns trust."
Vigor’s team includes individually FTA-approved tax agents who have met stringent legal, ethical, and educational requirements. These professionals are equipped to handle VAT filings, corporate tax returns, FTA communications, and regulatory updates, ensuring accuracy and compliance with federal standards. Their authorisation to act as liaisons between businesses and the FTA offers clients confidence in navigating complex tax obligations.
"In an environment where accuracy and deadlines directly impact financial outcomes, Vigor’s FTA-approved agents provide peace of mind. They interpret UAE tax law with precision and ensure seamless interactions with the Authority, safeguarding businesses from errors or penalties," added Dsilva.
Vigor’s in-house accounting software, VBOOKS, further enhances its services by enabling clients to maintain accurate financial records aligned with local compliance mandates. The software streamlines reporting, minimises errors, and ensures audit-readiness. Unlike generic global accounting platforms, VBOOKS is purpose-built for the UAE’s unique tax and regulatory framework. The software integrates real-time financial tracking, streamlined VAT filing, and audit-ready reporting, empowering businesses to stay compliant while focusing on growth.
"We’ve always believed that trust in our profession comes from more than good service - it comes from accountability,” said Anees Ali. “Being FTA-approved gives our clients a level of assurance that’s rooted in federal compliance."
Ali added: "As Dubai continues to attract entrepreneurs, SMEs, and multinational corporations, the demand for reliable tax and accounting support has surged. Vigor’s FTA-approved status signals to businesses that they can rely on a firm vetted by the UAE’s highest tax authority. Clients across industries, from logistics to technology, entrust Vigor with tax management, bookkeeping, audits, and regulatory reporting."
The UAE’s taxation framework, starting with VAT in 2018 and Corporate Tax in 2023, reflects its commitment to global financial standards.
For companies in Dubai and the UAE, partnering with an FTA-approved agency is essential for compliance. FTA-approved tax agents like Vigor play a critical role in fostering transparency and helping businesses adapt to these regulations responsibly.
