Background

About Fathima Hamza

I’m a Chartered Accountant with 12+ years of tax leadership, including 8+ years of UAE/GCC VAT expertise across real estate, financial services, and diversified industries. Currently serving as AVP – Group VAT at Aldar Properties PJSC, I lead the Group VAT function and M&A tax initiatives, with a focus on VAT implementation, e-invoicing transformation, and ERP tax engine integration. My experience spans both India and the UAE, with roles that built my foundation in corporate tax before I specialized in indirect tax at EY Abu Dhabi and later moved in-house. I’ve since developed a strong track record of leading teams, managing FTA relationships, and delivering complex tax solutions that align compliance with business strategy. I’m passionate about making tax functions efficient, future-ready, and value-driven — combining technical expertise with leadership, collaboration, and strategic impact.
