In the UAE, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) holds the legal right to audit any individual or business to evaluate their compliance with federal tax laws. An FTA tax audit is a detailed government assessment that verifies whether a taxable entity has met its obligations, settled all dues, and filed accurate returns within the required timeframe.

These audits are conducted to ensure that businesses are adhering to UAE’s tax regulations and fulfilling their fiscal responsibilities. Non-compliance—whether accidental or intentional—can result in penalties, reputational risk, or even litigation.

We help identify discrepancies, prepare the necessary documentation, and ensure your operations align with the UAE VAT law.
