VAT and Excise Tax

Comprehensive VAT and excise tax services covering registration through refunds — ensuring your tax position is accurate, timely, and optimized.

What we offer

VAT registration

We determine whether your business meets mandatory or voluntary VAT registration thresholds and handle the full TRN application through the FTA portal. This includes preparing supporting documents, bank details, activity descriptions, and authorised signatory information. We also manage deregistration and amendments when your turnover or business structure changes.

VAT return filing

Accurate and timely VAT return filing protects you from penalties and FTA scrutiny. We prepare monthly or quarterly returns by reconciling output tax on sales to input tax on purchases, verifying tax invoice compliance, and applying correct treatment for exempt and zero-rated supplies. Each return is reviewed before submission, and payment deadlines are tracked to avoid late fees.

VAT refund claims

Businesses in refund positions — common in export-heavy, capital-intensive, or real estate sectors — can recover VAT paid on inputs. We identify refund eligibility, compile the required documentation, and submit claims through the FTA with supporting schedules and reconciliations. Our experience with refund applications improves approval rates and reduces processing delays.

VAT audit defense

FTA VAT audits examine whether your returns, tax invoices, and record-keeping meet legal requirements. We prepare audit files, respond to information requests, attend meetings on your behalf, and negotiate outcomes where discrepancies are identified. Having organised records and expert representation significantly reduces the stress and financial impact of an audit.

VAT planning & advisory

Proactive VAT planning helps you structure transactions efficiently and avoid costly mistakes. We advise on zero-rating and exemption treatment, import and export scenarios, related-party charges, and real estate transactions. Whether you are entering a new market or restructuring operations, we ensure your VAT treatment is correct from the start.
