VAT Services by ASCA Audit and Advisory
Value Added Tax has applied in the UAE at 5% since 2018, and the FTA enforces it rigorously — late registrations, incorrect returns and poor record-keeping all carry fixed and percentage-based penalties. Robust VAT compliance is essential housekeeping for every UAE business.
ASCA Audit and Advisory supports businesses through the entire VAT lifecycle: assessing whether and when you must register, structuring transactions correctly, filing accurate returns on time, recovering refunds and defending positions in FTA audits. Our VAT team combines technical FTA knowledge with practical, industry-specific experience.
Our VAT Services Services
VAT Registration
We assess your taxable turnover against the mandatory (AED 375,000) and voluntary (AED 187,500) thresholds and complete registration or tax-group registration on EmaraTax.
VAT Return Filing
Accurate preparation and submission of periodic VAT returns, with output and input tax fully reconciled to your books — including reverse charge, zero-rated and exempt supply treatment.
VAT Refunds
Preparation and follow-up of refund claims for businesses in a recoverable position, including exporters and businesses with significant zero-rated supplies.
VAT Audit & Health Check
A pre-emptive review of your VAT treatment, documentation and returns that identifies errors before the FTA does — plus full representation and support during FTA audits.
VAT Accounting
Ongoing maintenance of VAT-compliant records, tax invoices and credit notes in line with FTA record-keeping requirements.
VAT Deregistration
Managed deregistration when turnover falls below thresholds or on business closure, avoiding the penalties that arise from late applications.
