VAT Health Check
“If you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness” – Whoever said it, said it right!
Overall VAT readiness and compliance – Your need. We recognize!
VAT is a complex tax affecting every aspect of your business in the UAE and the worldwide market – calls for close attention.
VAT is a transaction-based indirect tax which is levied at each step of the supply chain. End consumers generally bear the VAT cost while registered businesses collect and account for the tax, in a way acting as a tax collector on behalf of the Federal Tax Authority. Hence, businesses are responsible for declaring their tax correctly through a VAT return and pay it in a timely manner.
As a self-assessing tax, it is the responsibility of the taxpayer to ensure they are accounting for the right amount of tax and at the right time.
A tax audit is when the FTA decides to examine your tax return a bit more closely and verify your revenue and expenditures. The FTA carries out tax audits at varying intervals, and in case any errors are identified, the business is liable to pay the outstanding tax, penalties retroactively, and interest wherever applicable.
Under ever-changing market and business circumstances, staying up front in dealing with business regulations, and the thorough knowledge of UAE VAT Law and Accounting aspects in that regard, we say a proper preparation in advance can wipe out the risk factor in the VAT Returns you file and the tax audit the authority rightfully initiates.

Your VAT Registration is not a hassle any more!
