No. Profitrack is a private accounting consultancy, not an FTA-registered tax agent. We prepare accounting records, return calculations and supporting schedules. The taxpayer or a properly authorized representative submits the official return. If you require formal tax-agent representation, verify and appoint an agent separately using the FTA directory. Do not share passwords, OTPs or UAE Pass access.
An error in a previous return requires a review of the applicable correction route and deadline. We can prepare the underlying accounting information. The taxpayer or a properly authorized representative handles any official disclosure; do not assume that every error has the same correction procedure or penalty outcome.
