Voluntary VAT Disclosures can Result in
Huge Penalties
UAE based businesses will have to pay penalties for voluntary disclosures,
from the date of the original VAT return in which the error was made to the
date of receipt of payment of the VAT. Initially, penalties on voluntary
disclosures were treated as admin fines, and heavier penalties were not
imposed for late payments. The ruling by UAE Federal Supreme Court comes
as a huge shock for businesses, as the penalties can reach up to 300 percent
of the dues.
The judgment by the Federal Supreme Court will be the first final and
conclusive judgment to be issued on penalties for voluntary disclosure. The
judgment may affect upcoming decisions to be issued by the various Tax
Dispute Resolution Committees and Federal Courts.
A voluntary disclosure is a form provided by FTA that gives taxpayers an
opportunity to voluntarily notify the authority about any error or omission in a
previous Tax Return, Tax Assessment or Tax Refund application. A voluntary
disclosure must be submitted within 20 business days of the taxpayer
identifying an error.
“It is always better to ensure there aren’t any errors or omissions in the VAT
return form, rather than worrying about penalties at a later stage or not
disclosing prior period errors to the FTA. VAT plays a significant role on the
entire business system and penalties that result from voluntary disclosure can
affect cash flow adversely. Hence, it is important to have the right procedures
in place’, says Jay Krishnan, Partner at HLB HAMT.
It has been almost three years since UAE implemented VAT, but the trend of
committing errors while filing for VAT is still prevalent among many
businesses. HLB HAMT has an exclusive team of trained VAT Consultants
who can assist you to steer your business smoothly through the tax laws.
