UAE VAT Refund Assistance Service
VAT refund is an important element of an effective VAT strategy in the UAE. Despite its overarching significance, businesses often find it complex to navigate the process of VAT refund in the UAE leading to delays and errors. Taxpayers need to learn about the circumstances in which they can rightfully request a tax refund. They should also understand how to recover the requested refunds without any delays. This can be tricky but Tax Gian’s VAT consultants can make it easier for business owners.
VAT Voluntary Disclosure Assistance
The FTA encourages taxable businesses to submit a VAT voluntary disclosure if they have violated a VAT Law provision or believe they made an error. Taxable persons are allowed to submit a voluntary disclosure to the FTA about an error or omission in their tax return, tax assessment, or tax refund application. The Article 8 of Cabinet Decision No. 36 of 2017 on the Executive Regulation of Federal Law No. (7) of 2017 on Tax Procedures states the circumstances in which taxable persons can file voluntary disclosure.
Businesses can identify the mistakes in the already filed VAT returns by conducting a VAT audit review with the help of FTA-approved tax agents in the UAE. Such a review will help businesses reduce the risk of penalties in case of a Tax audit by the FTA. Tax Gian’s FTA-approved tax agents can help businesses submit VAT voluntary disclosure as per the laws and regulations.
UAE VAT Deregistration Services
When a taxable person ends their business or no longer meets the VAT registration threshold (mandatory or voluntary), they should apply for VAT deregistration in the UAE. Such businesses must apply for VAT deregistration and suspend their UAE Tax Registration Number (TRN) as they no longer require paying VAT. FTA will impose fines on taxable persons if they fail to apply for VAT deregistration in the UAE within 20 days of cessation. VAT consultants in Dubai can help businesses avoid such penalties by assisting with the deregistration process.
UAE FTA Audit Preparation Services
The FTA has the legal right to conduct a tax audit on any taxable person to determine that person’s level of compliance with the UAE VAT law and regulations. An FTA audit in the UAE allows the government to assess the company’s responsibility as a taxable person. An FTA audit ensures that the business in question has paid all its liabilities and that dues are cleared and submitted to the government within the deadline.
However, it may lead to serious consequences and hefty penalties if the FTA finds out about the discrepancy during the audit. Such situations can be avoided by letting VAT consultants in Dubai review the documents and records before the audit. In this way, the businesses can identify the errors and correct them before the audit FTA officials visit the company premises for inspection.
VAT Penalty Appeal & Waiver Services
Taxable persons have the right to challenge the penalty levied on them by the FTA. For this, they need to submit a tax reconsideration request to the FTA within 20 days from the day the taxable person is notified of the decision or clarification. However, the FTA can reject the reconsideration request citing invalid grounds for reconsideration. The affected taxpayer can challenge the decision made by the FTA at the Tax Dispute Resolution Committee (TDRC). Tax agents in Dubai can help businesses appeal to the TDRC and get a penalty waiver if possible.
