With the UAE’s VAT regime now fully operational, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) conducts regular audits to ensure businesses follow all tax rules. If you’re a business owner or CFO, ensuring your company meets every item on the UAE VAT compliance checklist is not just a formality—it’s critical to avoid fines, penalties, and business disruption.
At AEY Accounting LLC, we specialize in VAT tax preparation & filing in UAE and provide end-to-end VAT compliance UAE services, including pre-audit health checks, FTA audit defense, and ongoing advisory support.
Whether you operate in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or any other Emirates, our experienced tax professionals ensure your filings are accurate, timely, and 100% FTA-ready.
A VAT audit by the FTA is an official inspection of your financial records, VAT filings, and business operations to confirm that:
Audits may be triggered randomly, based on suspicious patterns, or as part of sector-wide checks.
