An FTA audit is coming. Be ready.

What to expect during an FTA audit, how long it takes, what they look for, and how to prepare with ETX.

Audit triggers

Anomalies in your filings (unusual VAT recovery, mismatched bank, inconsistent classification), whistleblower reports, random sampling, or sector-wide reviews.

The audit process

FTA gives notice, requests documents, may visit, asks follow-up questions, issues findings. The full process: 6 weeks to 6 months.

Penalties for non-compliance

Late or no documentation: AED 10,000 first time. False declarations: up to 300% of unpaid tax. Tax evasion: up to 5x the evaded amount.
