Corporate Tax Audit Readiness Services UAE
The FTA Can Audit Your Business at Any Time. When They Do, Your Records Need to Tell a Complete and Consistent Story.
A Corporate Tax audit is the FTA’s review of your tax return, supporting records, and compliance with the law. The authority can select any business for audit, and the reasons are not always disclosed. Jazaa prepares your business for an FTA audit by organizing your records, verifying your return positions, and checking for consistency across the documents the FTA may examine.
What the FTA Looks at During a CT Audit
Your Filed Returns
The FTA compares your return to your financial statements and supporting records. Any inconsistency between these documents invites deeper investigation.
Your Accounting Records
The authority examines whether your records support the income, deductions, and adjustments reported in your return. Gaps in records create an assumption that unreported income may exist.
Related Party Transactions
Transfer pricing compliance is a focus area. The FTA looks for transactions that shift income between entities, particularly between mainland and free zone affiliates.
Reliefs and Exemptions Claimed
Every relief or exemption you claimed must be supported by documentation showing you met the conditions. If you claimed QFZP treatment, the FTA will test every condition.
