In the UAE, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) is authorised to perform audits whenever they see fit to make sure that businesses are adhering to all applicable tax regulations, including VAT and excise tax.

Businesses in the UAE should take proactive measures and undertake a pre-tax audit with the help of a TAX/VAT specialist in order to be ready for tax audits by government officials. Tax audits frequently include:-

• examination of completed tax returns
• Calculating and paying taxes in accordance with the tax legislation.
• Review of tax-related records and papers.
• review of financial procedures and documents.
• Companies can save paying costly fines, damage to their reputation, and last-minute scrambling by completing a pre-tax audit.
