Is AI-assisted tax filing safe?

Yes, when a qualified human signs off before submission. At asly tax, automation prepares the return but nothing is filed until a UAE-qualified tax advisor has reviewed every figure and signed off in writing. The AI accelerates the mechanical work — extraction, calculations, form population — while the advisor owns the professional judgement. This is the same model used by every modern accounting practice.

Who reviews my return?

Every return is reviewed by a qualified UAE tax advisor before submission, under the professional supervision of ACME Group led by Carl Bayley, FCA, BSc. Complex files (free zone QFZP, tax groups, transfer pricing) receive an additional senior review. The reviewer's name is recorded on the internal working papers and available to you on request.

How long does the whole process take?

For a straightforward return with complete records, from account setup to FTA submission takes 3–5 working days: the platform prepares the return within 24–48 hours, an advisor reviews within 1–2 working days, and submission is same-day once you approve. Complex free zone or group files take longer because qualifying income and consolidation require more review.

What if the platform gets something wrong?

That is exactly what advisor review is for. Every figure the platform produces is reviewed against source records by a qualified advisor before submission. If the review identifies an error, it is corrected before filing. Post-filing, if an error is later discovered we handle any voluntary disclosure at no extra fee for the original filing period.

Do you use my data to train AI models?

No. Client tax data is used solely to prepare, review, and file that client's return. It is not used to train third-party models. Data is stored on infrastructure operated under the asly.ai security controls, with access restricted to the advisors working on your file.

02 — Split of work

Where Automation Helps — and Where Humans Decide

The split matters. Automation is excellent at repeatable, rules-based work. Humans are essential for judgement, elections, and sign-off. Being explicit about the line is how we keep filings both cheap and correct.

The platform does

·Data extraction from trial balance and financial statements
·Reconciliation of ledger balances to the return
·Corporate tax calculations, depreciation schedules, adjustments
·EmaraTax form population and validation
·Deadline tracking and reminders
·Consistency checks against prior-year workings

Human review

Qualified advisors do

·Reviewing every figure before submission
·Judgement calls: Small Business Relief vs loss carry-forward
·Free zone Qualifying Income analysis and de minimis testing
·Related-party and transfer pricing positions
·Written sign-off from a qualified advisor
·Handling FTA follow-up and audit correspondence

03 — Trust

Is AI Tax Filing Safe?

Yes — because nothing is auto-filed. At asly tax, every return is reviewed by a qualified UAE tax advisor before submission. The automation prepares the return; the advisor owns the professional judgement and the sign-off. The FTA receives a return that has been checked by a human who is professionally accountable for it.

Our commitment

No return leaves asly tax without a named UAE-qualified advisor's written sign-off. Client data is not used to train third-party models. Every relief election, free zone qualifying-income position, and group treatment is a human decision.
