What Is a Tax Audit and Why It’s Important in Dubai?
A tax audit is an official inspection of your business’s financial and VAT records conducted by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). The goal? To ensure your filings are accurate, compliant, and free from discrepancies.
In Dubai, tax audits are becoming more common as businesses grow and regulations tighten. If your records are unclear, incomplete, or non-compliant, it can lead to heavy penalties, reputational damage, or suspension of operations. That’s where professional guidance becomes critical.
At Dynamic Catalyst Consultants (DCC), our tax audit services in Dubai help businesses avoid surprises by preparing them thoroughly, reviewing every detail, and correcting risks before the FTA does.
FTA Tax Audit in Dubai – What You Need to Know
The FTA tax audit in Dubai isn’t random. Businesses are selected based on several factors—suspicious reporting patterns, late submissions, high VAT refunds, or industry risk levels. Once selected, you’ll receive official notice, and from there, the clock starts ticking.
Here’s what the FTA reviews:
- Your VAT returns and supporting invoices
- Input and output tax calculations
- Transaction history
- Payment timelines
- Record retention and accuracy
We help you prepare every single document in advance, resolve gaps in reporting, and handle any queries or clarifications from the FTA on your behalf.
