IRS-Compliant US Tax Advisors · UAE-Based
US Tax Filing Services
Expert US federal and state tax return preparation for Americans, dual citizens, and green card holders living in the UAE — Form 1040, FBAR, FATCA, and business returns, all handled remotely.
US Tax Obligations Don’t Stop at the Border
The United States is one of only two countries in the world that taxes its citizens on worldwide income — regardless of where they live. As a US citizen, dual citizen, green card holder, or expatriate residing in the UAE, you are legally required to file a US federal income tax return each year — even if you earn no income in the United States.
However, the US tax code provides powerful reliefs for Americans abroad — including the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), Foreign Tax Credit, and Foreign Housing Exclusion — that can dramatically reduce or eliminate your US tax liability when applied correctly.
At Nexivol, our US tax specialists serve American clients across the UAE — preparing accurate, IRS-compliant returns that take full advantage of every available exclusion, credit, and deduction.

Common UAE Expat Scenarios
How Nexivol helps Americans in the UAE navigate complex tax situations
Scenario 1: UAE Salary Earner
A US citizen earning AED salary in Dubai. Using Form 2555 (FEIE), up to USD 126,500 (2024 limit) of foreign earned income can be excluded from US tax. With proper planning, many UAE-based Americans owe $0 in US tax.
Scenario 2: UAE Business Owner
A US citizen owning a UAE LLC and a US LLC simultaneously. Requires both US business returns, self-employment tax planning, and a careful look at the FEIE self-employment income limitation.
Scenario 3: FBAR Non-Filer
A green card holder with UAE and Pakistan bank accounts who was unaware of FBAR requirements. Using the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures, we bring them into compliance with no late-filing penalties.
Scenario 4: Dual Citizen (US/Pakistani)
A US/Pakistani dual national earning income in both the UAE and Pakistan. Nexivol coordinates both US and Pakistan filings, applying treaty provisions and tax credits to minimise double-taxation.
