Your VAT Returns Have Been Filed. But Were They Right?

A VAT review is an independent examination of your filed returns, input recovery, transaction classification, and compliance status. If your returns were prepared internally or by a generalist, there is a real possibility that some transactions were misclassified, input VAT was under-recovered or over-recovered, or certain filing positions do not hold up under scrutiny. Jazaa reviews your VAT position and tells you exactly where you stand.

What a VAT Review Examines

Output VAT Accuracy

We verify that the correct VAT rate was applied to every type of supply, and that the total output VAT reported matches your sales data.

Input Tax Recovery

We test whether input VAT was correctly claimed on eligible expenses and whether any ineligible claims were included.

Transaction Classification

We review how your transactions were classified, standard rated, zero-rated, exempt, or outside scope, and flag any misclassifications.

Compliance Status

We check your registration details, filing history, payment records, and record keeping against FTA requirements.

Common Questions
About VAT Reviews

1. How is a VAT review different from a VAT audit by the FTA?

A VAT review is voluntary and conducted by your advisor. You control the findings and act on them proactively. An FTA audit is initiated by the authority and may result in assessments and penalties.

2. Can you review returns from past years?

Yes. We review returns for any period within the FTA's assessment window.

3. What if the review finds I over-recovered input VAT?

We advise on the correction process, which may include voluntary disclosure and repayment to the FTA.

4. What if the review finds I under-recovered input VAT?

We help you recover the additional amounts through amended returns, subject to the FTA's correction timeline.

5. Should I get a VAT review even if nothing seems wrong?

Yes. Many VAT errors are not obvious from the outside. A review provides assurance and often identifies recovery opportunities.
