VAT regulations in the UAE are strictly enforced, and even minor errors in filing or documentation can lead to severe VAT tax penalties issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). If you’ve received a notice or fine and aren’t sure how to respond, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options.
At AEY Accounting LLC, we provide expert VAT tax preparation & filing in UAE and full assistance for businesses needing VAT penalty review and appeal services. From Dubai to Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, our specialists support clients with compliance audits, documentation, and FTA submissions.
