The Federal Tax Authority can audit your business anytime within 5 years. Are you prepared? Over 40% of VAT audits in UAE result in penalties due to avoidable mistakes.
Late VAT filing costs AED 1,000-2,000. Invalid invoices cost AED 5,000 each. Wrong VAT calculations lead to 25% of all VAT-related fines. These penalties add up fast.
With new 2025 protocols, the FTA requires detailed documentation for at least 5 years. Missing records or incorrect invoices can trigger immediate audit problems.
VAT regulations in UAE are continuously evolving. Missing updates means non-compliance. The March 2025 amendments have introduced stricter audit protocols.
