Understanding FTA Tax Audit

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) of the UAE is responsible for the implementation and administration of federal taxes, ensuring that all businesses comply with the regulations in place. An FTA Tax Audit is a formal examination of an entity's financial records and tax returns to ensure compliance with the UAE tax laws. It can be initiated by the FTA for various reasons, including discrepancies in tax submissions or random checks.
