FTA Penalty Reconsideration & Appeal Services

Facing a penalty from the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) can be stressful. AL SAHRAA Businessmen Services LLC provides professional FTA penalty reconsideration and appeal support to businesses across the UAE. We review assessments, prepare formal objections or appeals, gather supporting evidence, and liaise with the FTA to pursue the best available resolution while keeping you informed throughout the process.

Key points at a glance

FTA penalty reconsideration covers VAT, corporate tax, registration and filing penalties, and related administrative fines.

We assess the assessment notice, identify viable grounds for objection (administrative error, incorrect interpretation, reasonable excuse, voluntary disclosure, documentation issues), and recommend the best route: reconsideration, formal objection, or appeal.

Our services include drafting submissions, compiling supporting evidence, negotiating with the FTA, and advising on next steps if further appeal is required.

We act as your tax penalty representation in the UAE, communicating with the FTA and safeguarding confidentiality.

Prompt action is essential—responding within the applicable statutory timeframes improves your chances of a favorable outcome.

FAQs

How does reconsideration vs. appeal differ?

Reconsideration and formal objection are initial steps to ask the FTA to review its assessment. If unresolved, a further appeal to the competent tribunal or authority may follow. We advise the correct pathway based on your case.

What grounds are commonly successful?

Common grounds include calculation or administrative errors, genuine documentary gaps, accepted reasonable excuses, or evidence that the tax position was applied correctly and the penalty is disproportionate.

Can AL SAHRAA represent my company before the FTA?

Yes. We provide tax penalty representation UAE-wide and can liaise directly with FTA officers on your behalf once authorised.

How long will the process take?

Timelines vary by case complexity and FTA workload. Prompt submission and complete documentation typically speed up the process. We will provide an estimated timeline after initial review.

Will you guarantee a waiver or reduction?

No reputable adviser can guarantee a specific outcome. We will provide a realistic assessment of prospects based on the facts and applicable rules, and pursue the best available resolution.
