VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE SERVICES IN THE UAE

ENSURE TRANSPARENCY & COMPLIANCE WITH ALAMTAR’S VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE SERVICES

In a dynamic and evolving tax environment, even the most diligent businesses may
encounter errors or omissions in their VAT filings. Recognizing the importance of
compliance and transparency, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) in the UAE provides an
opportunity to rectify such issues through the Voluntary Disclosure process.
At Alamtar Accounting & Bookkeeping, we provide structured and confidential Voluntary
Disclosure Services that enable you to correct tax-related discrepancies, minimize
penalties, and safeguard your business’s reputation.

WHAT IS VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE?

Voluntary Disclosure is a mechanism that allows businesses to correct errors in VAT
returns, VAT refund applications, or any FTA-related documents. If the business identifies
a mistake before the FTA detects it, submitting a Voluntary Disclosure (using Form VAT 211)
not only fosters compliance but may also lead to reduced administrative penalties.
Timely voluntary disclosure demonstrates integrity and can significantly reduce legal and
financial exposure.

WHEN SHOULD YOU SUBMIT A VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE?

You should consider submitting a Voluntary Disclosure if:

  • You’ve underreported or overreported your VAT liability.
  • You claimed input tax incorrectly or excessively.
  • There are errors in your previous VAT return, refund application, or tax assessment.
  • You need to correct figures before the FTA raises an audit or tax assessment notice
