What FinTaxIQ - TI does with what you type, in plain words.

What FinTaxIQ - TI's answers are

FinTaxIQ - TI's answers are written by artificial intelligence from the Federal Tax Authority's published documents, to assist you in finding and understanding the law. They are not tax advice, and they are not official information from the Federal Tax Authority. FinTaxIQ - TI is not a tax agent or tax consultant. Before you file or act, consult a registered tax agent or qualified tax adviser. See the Disclaimer.

Please do not type personal or client details

FinTaxIQ - TI answers questions about UAE tax law. It does not need names, TRNs, invoice numbers or anyone's personal details to do that. Describe the situation instead: "a mainland LLC that rents flats for its staff".

Your questions

To answer a question, FinTaxIQ - TI sends its text to the services below. FinTaxIQ - TI does not store the text of your question, and does not write it to its logs. It keeps:

• the answer, for up to 30 days, so the same question asked again is answered at once. It is filed under a one-way code made from the question, not the question itself. An answer can restate facts from the question.
• a short, general topic for each answer, such as "VAT on staff accommodation", with the articles it cited, so we can see which subjects people ask about.
• the question itself only if you tick "Share this question" when you rate an answer.

Who else receives your question

• OpenRouter and the AI hosting companies it routes to write FinTaxIQ - TI Public answers, and read the documents and account names you choose to give the free return tool. They may be outside the UAE.
• Anthropic writes FinTaxIQ - TI Pro and FinTaxIQ - TI Expert answers, and reads the documents and account names you choose to give the return tool.
• Voyage AI, through MongoDB, turns the question into numbers so FinTaxIQ - TI can search by meaning.
• Cloudflare carries traffic to FinTaxIQ - TI. Hetzner runs the server FinTaxIQ - TI is on.
• Your browser loads FinTaxIQ - TI's fonts from Google Fonts.

None of them receives your email address from FinTaxIQ - TI. FinTaxIQ - TI does not sell data and shows no advertising.

The Corporate Tax return tool

The return tool works out the return inside your browser. Excel and CSV files never leave your device, and the company name, which is optional, is never sent anywhere.

• If you give it a PDF or a photo (a trial balance, financial statements, a bank statement or a VAT return), the file is sent to FinTaxIQ - TI's server and on to an AI service that reads it and sends the figures back to your browser: for the free tool, open AI models (DeepSeek, GLM) run by hosting companies through OpenRouter, using only hosts that say they do not keep or train on the data; for signed-in FinTaxIQ - TI Pro and FinTaxIQ - TI Expert accounts, Anthropic. FinTaxIQ - TI does not store the file or anything read from it, and writes neither to its logs.
• To suggest where accounts belong on the return, the tool sends your account names, never their amounts, to the same service. If you ask for a brief transfer pricing note, it sends the names of the accounts that look like related dealings, with their amounts rounded to the nearest thousand dirhams. Neither is stored.
• FinTaxIQ - TI keeps only a count of these readings: the kind of document, the number of pages, the time taken and the cost. Nothing from the document is in it.

Daily allowances without an account

To count answers per day, FinTaxIQ - TI sets one cookie with a random number in it, and reads the network address your connection comes from. It stores only one-way codes made from these, and the code made from your network address changes every day, so it cannot be followed from one day to the next. Records of what was answered, and in which tier, are kept for 13 months.

To know how many people use the site, FinTaxIQ counts page visits per day and per section, on the Corporate Tax return page how far a visit went (a document chosen, the accounts read or not, each step reached, the return viewed or downloaded): never what was in the documents, and when the Corporate Tax calculator is used. A visitor is recognised within one day only, by a one-way code made from the day, the network address and the browser; it cannot be followed from one day to the next and is deleted after two days. Only daily totals are kept, and they are kept as statistics: how many visits, uses and questions there were each day, never who. No cookie is set for this, and nothing you type or upload is part of it.
