What the agent does
The deployed agent prepares VAT filings. It reconciles the period's records from the data room, prepares the filing with the evidence attached, records the preparation receipt, and hands it to the licensed Tax Agent with a handoff receipt. Retention holds and deletions are attested with retention receipts.
Never allowed: tool.submit_filing, tool.file_return, tool.pay_tax
Needs a human approval: tool.prepare_filing, tool.handoff

A worked example
A firm uploads Q2 sales and purchase ledgers for a client. The agent prepares the VAT return, lists the three invoices missing a TRN, records the preparation receipt, and hands the pack to the Tax Agent. Escrow releases on the preparation receipt; the Tax Agent's own filing is outside the agent's scope.
Frequently asked questions
Can the agent file with the FTA?
No. Submitting, filing and paying are forbidden, and a filing target can never be in its scopes. A licensed Tax Agent files.
How are retention rules met?
Retention holds and deletions are receipted with signed attestations; the evidence pack shows what was kept, for how long and when it was erased.
Which filings are supported?
VAT and corporate tax preparation. Prices are per filing prepared and per handoff, in AED, as listed on this page.
Is the client's data on the ledger?
No. Receipts carry hashes of the prepared pack, never the figures. The pack itself lives in the encrypted data room.
What if the preparation is wrong?
The Tax Agent rejects it before filing; the failed task is refunded by a provider-signed refund, and a dispute holds any release.
