    • The UAE-based startup Tax Star, specializing in tax technology, has raised $1.75 million in a seed funding round, primarily supported by angel investors.
    • Founded in 2023 by Rayhan Aleem and Haris Tasawar, Tax Star offers an AI-powered platform for tax and compliance solutions for businesses, and is a pre-approved service provider (ASP) for the upcoming electronic invoicing system in the UAE.
    • The company will use the funding to expand its business activities, enhance its platform, and assist companies in complying with electronic invoicing requirements in the UAE.

    Tax Star, the first AI-powered corporate tax software platform in the UAE, has announced the closure of a $1.75 million Seed funding round, primarily backed by angel investors. This round coincides with the company achieving one of its significant regulatory milestones to date, having received the status of a pre-approved service provider (ASP) for electronic invoicing in the UAE.

    Tax Star has established itself as the first AI-powered software platform for corporate tax compliance in the UAE, helping businesses navigate the evolving tax landscape in the country through automation and AI-driven solutions. The new funding extends this focus, with the company placing greater emphasis on its role in implementing the electronic invoicing system in the UAE, which will require businesses to appoint a certified service provider and implement a compliant electronic invoicing system connected to the UAE's electronic invoicing framework.

    As a pre-approved service provider, Tax Star aims to act as a bridge between businesses and the electronic invoicing infrastructure in the UAE. The pre-approval confirms the company's technical readiness ahead of key regulatory deadlines, as UAE businesses prepare to comply with new requirements.

    Tax Star will direct the funding towards three main areas: expanding its business activities, product development, and streamlining the compliance process for companies preparing to implement electronic invoicing requirements in the UAE. The company stated that the funding will be used to enhance the tools and services needed for businesses to achieve and maintain compliance.

    The funding also supports Tax Star's plans for regional expansion, as the company intends to enter other markets in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) as part of its long-term strategy. Tax Star anticipates that its early position in the UAE's electronic invoicing ecosystem will serve as a foundation for entering other markets undergoing digital transformation in their tax systems.

    The company noted that its participation in the Plug and Play and Dubai Founders HQ (DFHQ) programs helped it prepare for the investment round and shape its future expansion plans. Tax Star is also participating in the Microsoft for Startups program and looks forward to joining the Dubai D33 initiative.

    This funding round coincides with the approach of several regulatory deadlines related to electronic invoicing. UAE companies with annual revenues of AED 50 million or more must appoint a certified service provider by October 30, 2026, ahead of the mandatory phase for this category of companies starting in January 2027. Tax Star stated that the new funding will help support businesses in preparing for these requirements without disrupting their operations.

    Rayhan Aleem, co-founder and CEO of Tax Star, said: "This funding allows us to focus on what matters right now, which is alleviating the compliance burden on businesses in the GCC as electronic invoicing begins to roll out. Our pre-approval as a service provider places us in a strong position to support businesses during this transition, and the funding enables us to invest in the team, product, and business activities necessary to deliver these services at a larger scale."

    Tax Star is an AI-powered corporate tax platform and a pre-approved service provider for electronic invoicing in the UAE. The company claims to be the only certified service provider listed in the Xero and QuickBooks app stores that offers direct integration with both platforms, along with integration with Zoho, Odoo, and Naqood.

    Tax Star helps businesses simplify their tax obligations and compliance requirements through automation and AI, with plans to expand into GCC countries and Europe.
