VAT audit Liaison with FTA

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) conducts VAT audits on a periodical basis to ensure compliance with all the VAT Regulations by the companies in the UAE. This is part of the enforcement procedures of FTA as laid down by the Tax Procedures Law published by the Ministry to identify non-compliances and possible tax evasion among VAT registrants. The FTA has in recent times increased the tax audits so a company can expect to be called up for a VAT audit at any time as per the requirement of the concerned authority. It is pertinent that all VAT registered businesses should be ready with their VAT records and accounts to avoid any possible penalties.

VAT audits / due diligence/health checks are therefore an effective measure for companies to have in place for a complete review of the VAT readiness and compliance of a business. Conducting periodical VAT audits with the help of professionals will assist companies to identify non-compliances, ensure accuracy of the VAT returns submitted and preparing for the eventual tax audits to be conducted by the FTA.

This is where we at JAXA Chartered Accountants, with experienced professionals who cater to a large base of clientele on their VAT requirements such as implementation, VAT reviews, and audits, VAT return submissions, etc, can assist your company in getting prepared for an audit by the FTA.

Ensure VAT Compliance

The audit will facilitate a review of previously reported VAT returns with the intention of identifying any errors, thereby avoiding the risk of non-compliances being found by the Tax Authority itself, which can result in higher penalties for companies. Identification of errors or non-compliances at an earlier stage is essential as it allows companies to take appropriate corrective measures (such as a Voluntary Disclosure scheme where applicable) which can save the company from a higher penalty burden in the eventuality of an official tax audit by the Authority.

Facilitates Cost Saving

Due diligence checks will decrease the risk of inadvertent double payment of VAT, incorrect VAT being charged by the suppliers, etc, and further assist in reducing exposure to penalties from the Tax Authority.

Helps Prepare for Future

Businesses will be prepared to face official tax audits by having all the required details ready on hand and avoid errors that may happen due to last-minute hastiness.
