A VAT audit assesses a taxpayer’s compliance with the UAE VAT legislation. It is conducted to verify that the net amounts of VAT declared and the amount paid by the taxpayer are correct.
Innovex assists businesses with the required disclosure method under the UAE Value Added Tax. Our VAT audit helps prevent taxation risks as it allows companies to ensure their VAT compliance. It helps protect them in case of an FTA audit, examining the taxpayers’ records and VAT return filings to determine whether they are liable for VAT.
Our VAT audit services will help you decide if your company must register for VAT. If you had a turnover of AED 375,000 or more in the last 12 months, VAT registration is mandatory.
If your company had a taxable income of AED 187,500 or less in the last 12 months, you cannot register for VAT unless you are expecting to breach this threshold in the next 30 days. In fact, if you are VAT-registered but your past 12-month-turnover is at or below this threshold, your company must be deregistered or removed from the register of companies in the UAE that are eligible to pay VAT.
If your company has a turnover of more than AED 187,500 but less than AED 375,000, VAT registration is optional.
