New activities, free zone operations or cross-border sales can change how VAT applies to your transactions.
A query, audit notice or penalty notice needs a prompt, well-documented response.
Late registration, late filing, late payment and incorrect returns can each lead to administrative penalties.

Requirements vary by business activity and tax period. If something is missing, we will guide you.
Businesses whose taxable supplies and imports exceed the mandatory registration threshold must register with the FTA, and businesses below it but above the voluntary threshold may register. Thresholds are set by law and can change, so we confirm the current position for your business.
Most businesses file quarterly or monthly, depending on the tax period assigned by the FTA. Returns and any VAT due are generally payable within 28 days after the end of the tax period, so we track your exact dates.
The FTA can impose administrative penalties for late filing and late payment, and these can increase if the delay continues. Filing as soon as possible and correcting any errors usually limits further exposure.
Often yes, if the expense relates to taxable business activity and you hold a valid tax invoice. Some costs are blocked or restricted, so each category is reviewed individually.
Businesses are generally required to keep tax records for at least five years, and longer for certain categories such as some real estate records. We help you organise records so they are easy to produce if requested.
Where you authorise us, we can prepare submissions and responses and communicate with the FTA on your behalf, subject to the authority’s requirements.
