Voluntary disclosures by UAE businesses on VAT or excise tax will now face heavy penalties
Federal court ruling to have significant impact on businesses on their tax exposures
In a significant development, voluntary disclosures made by UAE based businesses on their actual VAT obligations will be charged with late payment penalties, reaching up to 300 per cent of the dues.
Not just that, the penalties will apply from the due date of the tax return – and not from the date of voluntary disclosure. This is according to a ruling by the UAE Federal Supreme Court judgment on an appeal filed by the UAE Federal Tax Authority.
