What is a VAT Audit?
A VAT audit is a detailed review by the FTA to check if your business’s VAT returns, records, and tax payments are accurate and compliant. The audit may be conducted onsite or remotely, and the FTA can request specific documents, such as invoices, transaction lists, reconciliations, and financial statements.
What to Expect in an FTA VAT Audit
Notification: The FTA usually notifies you in writing, lists the documents it needs and sets a deadline.
Document review: You provide the records. The audit may be done onsite or remotely.
Questions and clarifications: The FTA may ask follow-up questions about specific transactions.
Findings: If errors are found, the FTA may issue an assessment and penalties.
Right to challenge: You can dispute a decision by applying for reconsideration within the set time limit, currently 40 business days.
We guide you through every stage and respond to the FTA on your behalf. See also our tax audit support and tax agent services.
Documents to Have Ready
Tax invoices and credit notes, for both sales and purchases
Sales and purchase ledgers, and transaction listings
VAT returns, with reconciliations to your accounting records
Bank statements and proof of payments
Import and export documents, including customs declarations
Contracts and agreements supporting key transactions
Financial statements for the period
Common Issues We Find Before the FTA Does
Returns that do not match your books: Figures in the VAT return that differ from the accounting records.
Input VAT without a valid tax invoice: Recovering VAT on purchases where the supplier invoice is missing or incomplete.
Wrong VAT treatment: Zero-rating or exempting supplies that should be standard-rated, or the reverse.
Late or missing filings: Returns or payments submitted after the deadline.
We find and fix these early, so you can correct them before an audit begins. Our VAT accounting and VAT return filing services keep them from recurring.

How will I know if the FTA is auditing my business?
The FTA normally sends a written notice, which lists the period under review and the documents required. Contact us as soon as you receive it, so we can plan the response before the deadline.
How long do I have to respond to an FTA audit request?
The deadline is stated in the FTA’s notice. If you need more time, it is better to request an extension before the deadline than to miss it. We can handle that request for you.
Can I correct VAT errors before the FTA audits me?
Yes. Errors can be corrected in your next return or through a Voluntary Disclosure, depending on their size. Correcting an error yourself is generally better than having the FTA find it. See Cabinet Decision No. 129 of 2025 on how penalties work.
Do I need a tax agent for an FTA VAT audit?
It is not required, but many businesses use one because audits are document-heavy and have strict deadlines. A tax agent can prepare your records, respond to queries and represent you before the FTA.
