Quick Answer
What FTA Audit Assistance Covers?
FTA audit assistance helps businesses respond to a tax audit notice, organize the financial records and tax documentation the Federal Tax Authority requests, and manage direct communication with the FTA throughout the review. This typically covers both VAT audit and corporate tax audit scenarios, including reviewing past returns for discrepancies, preparing an audit file, and representing the business if the FTA raises questions or issues a tax assessment. Businesses that respond quickly with organized, accurate documentation generally resolve audits faster and reduce their exposure to penalties compared to those who scramble to gather records after the fact.
Eligibility
What Is FTA Audit Assistance, and Why Would You Need It?
An FTA tax audit is a formal review the Federal Tax Authority conducts to verify that a business has correctly reported and paid its VAT or corporate tax obligations. The FTA selects businesses for audit for various reasons—inconsistencies flagged in a filed return, random compliance checks, industry-specific risk factors, or simply because a business hasn’t been reviewed before. Receiving a notice doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong, but it does mean you need to respond promptly and accurately.
Any VAT-registered or corporate tax-registered business in the UAE can receive an audit notice, though businesses with complex transactions, high turnover, or previous filing inconsistencies tend to see more scrutiny. Having someone experienced manage that response — rather than handling it reactively yourself — usually makes the entire process faster and less stressful.
