TAX/VAT Auditing Services in Dubai
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) conducts VAT audits on a periodical basis to ensure compliance of the VAT Regulations by the companies in 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. It is pertinent that all VAT registered businesses should be ready with their VAT records and accounts to avoid any possible penalties.A VAT diagnosis or VAT audit exists to review the goods and invoice flows to ensure their compliance. The audit can also consist of a comprehensive examination of the company accounts, in order to identify the purchases and sales flows, and check their compatibility.
