How often must a business file its VAT return?
The standard tax period is generally either monthly or quarterly, depending on the annual turnover of the business and the specific tax period assigned by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
Can ASPA help if we receive a VAT penalty?
Yes. We assist businesses in reviewing the grounds for the penalty, rectifying any compliance errors, and preparing and submitting reconsideration applications to the FTA to have the penalties waived or reduced where applicable.
