Facing an FTA Tax Penalty, Audit, or Dispute?
ACCBOOKS now offers specialized tax litigation and penalty resolution services — helping UAE businesses challenge FTA penalties, navigate voluntary disclosures, and resolve complex VAT and corporate tax matters through the correct legal channels.

We prepare and file reconsideration requests within the statutory window, building the evidence bundle FTA case officers actually look for — not a generic appeal letter.

When a reconsideration is rejected or the case exceeds the relevant threshold, we represent your business through the full TDRC process, including document bundles and hearing preparation.

We assess historical exposure, quantify the cost of disclosure versus discovery, and file voluntary disclosures that minimize penalty impact.

From late registration penalty waivers to return filing defense, we handle corporate tax compliance gaps before they escalate..

Group structuring, free zone qualifying status reviews, and transfer pricing documentation designed to reduce risk before it becomes a penalty.

For disputes that proceed beyond the TDRC, we coordinate with registered tax litigators to support your case through Federal Court.

Share your FTA notice or concern; we assess exposure and options within 48 hours.
We build the evidence bundle and determine the strongest resolution path.
We file your reconsideration, disclosure, or TDRC submission and represent your case throughout.
Once resolved, we review your broader compliance setup to reduce future exposure.
Reconsideration requests generally must be filed within 40 business days of being notified of the FTA's decision. Missing this window forfeits your right to that level of appeal, so early action matters.
Not automatically. A well-prepared voluntary disclosure is a routine compliance mechanism, and penalty rates for self-disclosed errors are structured to be lower than those imposed on errors found through audit.
You can escalate to the Tax Dispute Resolution Committee (TDRC), and, where applicable, further to the Federal Court. Each stage has its own timeline and evidentiary requirements.
Not always — relief conditions have been introduced for businesses that register and file within a specified grace period. Eligibility depends on your specific timeline and filing status.
Yes, including reviews of Qualifying Free Zone Person status, which determines whether the 0% corporate tax rate genuinely applies to your income.
