The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) conducts VAT audits on a regular basis to guarantee that enterprises in the UAE are complying with all VAT regulations. This is part of the FTA’s enforcement procedures, as outlined in the Ministry’s Tax Procedures Law, to discover non-compliances and probable tax evasion among VAT registrants. The FTA has recently increased the number of tax audits, so a company can expect to be called in for a VAT audit at any time if the concerned authority requests. To prevent any penalties, it is critical that all VAT-registered firms have their VAT records and accounts ready.
VAT audits, due diligence, and health checks are thus an effective measure for businesses to implement for a comprehensive examination of their VAT readiness and compliance. Periodic VAT audits with the assistance of professionals will aid businesses in identifying non-compliances, ensuring the correctness of VAT returns submitted, and planning for future tax audits by the FTA.
VAT Audit Services can help you boost your company’s profitability in a variety of ways. These are the following:
The audit will allow for a review of previously reported VAT returns in order to identify any inaccuracies, reducing the chance of non-compliances being discovered by the Tax Authority, which could result in larger penalties for businesses. Early detection of errors or non-compliances is critical because it allows enterprises to adopt suitable corrective steps (such as a Voluntary Disclosure plan, if available) that can save them money in the case of an official tax audit by the Authority.

Due diligence checks will help to reduce the possibility of unintended double payment of VAT, improper VAT being charged by suppliers, and other penalties imposed by the Tax Authority.
Businesses will be better prepared to face official tax audits if they have all of the necessary information on hand and prevent errors caused by haste at the last minute.
