Since the introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) in the UAE in 2018, VAT compliance has become a critical component of doing business across all sectors. With the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) stepping up audits and enforcement in 2025, ensuring timely and accurate VAT compliance is not just advisable — it’s essential.
At AVS Lewis & Pecker Auditing, we specialize in helping businesses stay fully compliant with UAE VAT regulations, while optimizing financial efficiency and minimizing risk.
Why VAT Compliance Matters More Than Ever in 2025
The FTA continues to refine its audit systems and data analytics capabilities, meaning non-compliant businesses are more likely than ever to face:
- Administrative penalties
- Delayed VAT refunds
- Reputational damage
- Legal consequences
With many businesses still grappling with filing errors, improper record-keeping, and incorrect VAT treatment, the role of professional accountants has never been more vital.
How Accountants Help You Stay VAT-Compliant
1. Accurate VAT Registration and Classification
Accountants help determine whether your business must register for VAT (mandatory or voluntary) and guide you on choosing the correct tax group structures — especially if you operate across multiple licenses or free zones.
2. Proper Tax Invoice Management
We ensure your invoicing follows FTA requirements — including mandatory fields, Arabic-English format, and correct application of standard or zero-rated VAT.
3. Timely VAT Return Filing
Our team prepares and submits your VAT returns (Form VAT201) accurately and on time, ensuring:
- All input tax is appropriately claimed
- Output tax is correctly calculated
- Errors or discrepancies are flagged before submission
4. VAT Reconciliation and Reporting
Reconciliations between VAT returns and financial records help avoid red flags during FTA audits. We support:
- Monthly/quarterly reconciliation
- Adjustments for credit notes, bad debts, and import VAT
