VAT Reconsideration Services Dubai

Expert Support for VAT Reconsideration Requests

When a business disagrees with a decision issued by the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA), it may be possible to request reconsideration, subject to the applicable legal requirements and deadlines.

Gupta Accountants LLC provides professional VAT reconsideration services in Dubai to help businesses review relevant FTA decisions, assess the available grounds for reconsideration, organise supporting documentation, and prepare submissions in accordance with applicable UAE tax procedures.

Our approach focuses on accuracy, proper documentation, and a clear presentation of the relevant facts and tax considerations.

Our VAT Reconsideration Services

1. Review of FTA Decisions

We review relevant FTA decisions, notices, assessments, and related correspondence to understand the issues involved and identify potential grounds for reconsideration.

Our review considers the available records, applicable VAT provisions, and the circumstances of the case.

2. Assessment of Reconsideration Grounds

We assist businesses in evaluating whether there are reasonable grounds to request reconsideration of an eligible FTA decision.

This may involve reviewing the interpretation of VAT legislation, the treatment of specific transactions, the supporting evidence submitted, or the application of relevant tax procedures.

3. Preparation of VAT Reconsideration Applications

We assist with preparing VAT reconsideration applications by organising the relevant facts, identifying the issues in dispute, and presenting the supporting explanations and documentation in a clear and structured manner.

Each application is prepared based on the circumstances and available evidence of the individual case.

4. Supporting Documentation and Evidence

A well-supported application requires relevant records and clear explanations. We help businesses identify and organise documents that may support their reconsideration request, including:

  • VAT returns and tax records

  • Tax invoices and credit notes

  • Accounting records and transaction details

  • FTA notices, decisions, and correspondence

  • Contracts and other relevant supporting documents

  • Calculations and explanations relating to the disputed tax treatment

The documents required will depend on the nature of the decision and the grounds for reconsideration.

5. Assistance with VAT Assessments and Penalties

Where relevant, we review VAT assessments, administrative penalties, and the underlying circumstances to help determine whether grounds may exist for challenging the decision through the applicable procedure.

We assist in presenting the relevant facts and supporting evidence, subject to the applicable legal requirements.

6. Guidance on FTA Procedures and Deadlines

VAT reconsideration requests are subject to procedural requirements and prescribed time limits. We help businesses understand the applicable process, identify relevant deadlines, and prepare the required documentation for submission.

The appropriate procedure and any further review or appeal options depend on the decision concerned and the applicable UAE tax legislation.
