VAT Health Check in the UAE
Many VAT penalties come from errors a business never noticed, wrong treatment on certain supplies, over claimed input VAT, or weak records. A VAT health check finds those issues while you can still fix them on your terms. Ledger Wise reviews your VAT treatment, returns and documentation, identifies the risks, and gives you a clear plan to correct them before they surface in an FTA audit.

Questions
VAT health checks, answered.
- It is a review of how your business applies VAT, files returns and keeps records, designed to find errors and risks before they become FTA penalties.
- Because many penalties come from mistakes a business is unaware of. A health check finds them while you can still correct them voluntarily, on better terms than an audit.
- VAT treatment across your supplies, the accuracy of past returns, whether input VAT claimed is recoverable, and whether your documentation meets FTA requirements.
- We give you a prioritised correction plan. Where the amounts are significant, that often means a voluntary disclosure to the FTA, which we can prepare and submit.
- A periodic check is sensible, and especially valuable before an expected FTA review, after a change in your business, or if you have taken over messy records.
- Correcting proactively through a voluntary disclosure is generally far better than having the FTA find the same error in an audit, both for penalties and for credibility.
