Corporate Tax Audit Support
Under the UAE CT Law, the FTA is authorized to conduct Corporate Tax audits to verify compliance, accuracy of the submitted returns, and proper application of the Corporate Tax regime by the taxpayers.
As the UAE’s Corporate Tax regime evolves, FTA tax audits are expected to become increasingly scrutinized. Businesses must be ready to justify their tax positions, applied adjustments, and ensure the availability of the supporting documentation at any time.

FAQs to Guide Your Business Decisions
Concise insights on our core services
The FTA can initiate an audit at any time within the statutory limitation period, generally up to seven years from the end of the relevant tax period.
The CT legislation does not explicitly mention the scenarios that could result in a tax audit. However, the common triggers include late filings, frequent amendments, inconsistency/ unexplained differences between book records and tax accounting or missing supporting documentation.
In the absence of a well-established practice, it is difficult to say how long the Corporate Tax audit may take. As such, taking into account the experience of tax audits on VAT, the CT tax audit could take from several weeks to several months.
