DO YOU NEED A VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE?
Found an error in a filed return? The size of it decides what happens next.
How big is the error?
NEXT RETURN
Usually corrected in your next return.
If the tax difference is AED 10,000 or less, it can normally be adjusted in the return for the period you found it. We make the correction properly and keep a record of why.
Correct it in my next returnMANDATORY
File a disclosure within 20 business days.
Over AED 10,000, a separate voluntary disclosure is required. We calculate the corrected figures, the penalty position and any VAT to pay, then file on EmaraTax.

Questions
VAT voluntary disclosure FAQs
Can Fintra Global file a voluntary disclosure for my business?
Yes. We review the return in question, confirm whether a voluntary disclosure is needed, calculate the corrected figures, prepare the submission on EmaraTax and handle any FTA queries that follow.
When do I need to make a VAT voluntary disclosure?
What if the error is AED 10,000 or less?
If you find an error in a VAT return or refund application you have already submitted and the tax difference is more than AED 10,000, you must submit a voluntary disclosure within 20 business days of discovering it.
Does a voluntary disclosure reduce penalties?
Penalties for an incorrect return can still apply, but they are generally lower when you disclose before the FTA notifies you of an audit. Acting early is the best way to limit them.
Can I file a voluntary disclosure during an FTA audit?
Once the FTA has notified you of an audit, the position changes and higher penalties can apply. Contact us straight away so we can advise on the right approach.
Do you handle voluntary disclosures in Dubai and other emirates?
Yes. We prepare voluntary disclosures for mainland and free zone businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other emirates, in person at our Bur Dubai office or remotely.
How much does a voluntary disclosure cost?
The fee depends on how many periods are affected and how complex the error is. We quote one fixed fee in writing after a free review, before any work starts.
