VAT Reconsideration
UAE VAT reconsideration allows a taxable person to
appeal for the review of the decision made by FTA. All the companies in UAE
must be aware of the tax laws to run their businesses smoothly. If the
companies do not follow the tax laws issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA),
they will get VAT fines and penalties.
There are many situations when the businesses follow
the rules and regulations of FTA and still get fines and penalties. In such
circumstances, the taxpayer is not convinced with the decision of FTA. In such
cases, the taxpayer may apply for VAT Reconsideration.
