VAT compliance review is an independent assessment of an organisation's VAT returns, invoicing practices, and record-keeping to ensure alignment with the UAE VAT Law and the regulations issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). The primary objective is to verify that VAT has been correctly calculated, reported, and paid, while identifying any gaps that could expose the business to penalties or audit risk.
In Dubai and across the UAE, VAT compliance has become a critical obligation for businesses registered under the Federal Decree-Law on Value Added Tax. Registered entities are required to file periodic VAT returns, maintain proper tax invoices and records for a minimum of five years, and ensure accurate input and output tax reporting. Non-compliance can lead to FTA penalties, fines, and reputational damage, making a structured VAT compliance review essential for every VAT-registered business.
