Corporate Tax Error Correction Support UAE

Part-Time CFO Services for Dubai businesses providing recurring senior finance leadership

Finding an Error in Your Tax Return Is Stressful. Fixing It Incorrectly Is Worse.

Errors happen. A deduction was calculated wrong. Income was reported in the wrong period. A relief was applied that you did not actually qualify for. The question is not whether the error exists. It is how you handle it. The FTA’s voluntary disclosure process gives you a path to correct mistakes with reduced penalty exposure, but only if done properly. Jazaa manages the entire correction process from identification through resolution.

How the FTA Handles Return Errors

If you discover an error in a filed return, the FTA expects you to correct it through a voluntary disclosure. The law provides for reduced penalties when errors are voluntarily disclosed compared to errors discovered by the FTA during an audit.

Errors That Require Disclosure

Understated taxable income. Overstated deductions or exemptions. Incorrect relief elections. Misclassified income between qualifying and non-qualifying categories. Wrong tax period calculations. Any error that results in a difference between what you reported and what you should have reported.

How Jazaa Manages Corrections

Error Assessment

We review the error, determine its impact on your taxable income and tax liability, and assess the penalty implications.

Disclosure Decision

We advise whether a voluntary disclosure is required, advisable, or optional based on the materiality of the error and the FTA's guidelines.

Amended Return Preparation

We prepare the corrected return with full documentation explaining the nature of the error, the correct treatment, and the resulting tax adjustment.

FTA Submission and Follow-Up

We submit the voluntary disclosure and amended return through EmaraTax and manage any follow-up from the FTA.

Everything Included in Your Error Correction Engagement

Common Questions About
CT Error Correction

1. Is voluntary disclosure always required for errors?

Not always. Immaterial errors may not trigger disclosure requirements. Jazaa assesses each error against the FTA's materiality thresholds and advises accordingly.

2. Does voluntary disclosure guarantee no penalties?

No. But penalties for self-disclosed errors are generally lower than penalties for errors discovered by the FTA during an audit.

3. Can I correct errors from multiple tax periods at once?

Yes. If errors span multiple periods, we prepare disclosures and amendments for each affected period.

4. What if I am not sure whether something is an error?

That is exactly when you need advisory. We review the position and determine whether it constitutes an error requiring correction or a defensible interpretation of the law.

5. How quickly should I act after discovering an error?

Promptly. The longer you wait, the higher the penalty exposure. The FTA may also view delayed disclosure less favorably than immediate action.
